I tend to believe the supply chain and distributor spawned rumors though, there's more credibility there than the BS websites that just blatantly make stuff up.

It can't be! On a serious note, I'd welcome the metal. It'd be nice if the new iPhone finally matched the iPad & MacBook Pro better, and I wouldn't be horrified of carrying it outside of a tough case. The antenna non-issue "issue" is overblown and doesn't bother me, but I am genuinely concerned about the glass cracking from taking a spill even with a thick rubber shell.
