You know you're close to an Apple product launch when prototype parts for an expected product hit five digits on Ebay. Such is the case with a "REAL PROTOTYPE Apple iPhone 5C!" listed on Ebay [via AppleInsider] that is sitting at US$13,600 with 70 bids from roughly 15 differeny bidders. The seller claims that it's a legit prototype back, and as the bidding climbed, stressed through updates that it's the back only—no front plate, no electronics, no display, no innards. The photographs of the product (shown in our composite image) are very similar to the tons of leaked images that have appeared for the iPhone 5C, but it's impossible to know whether they're production parts or prototype parts.
