CUPERTINO — Service members are abuzz today as a photo alleged to be an image of a military version of the popular Apple iPhone 5 was leaked on the Internet late Saturday.

The picture appears to show a ruggedized olive drab iPhone, with a 3-foot external tape antenna and what appears to be a 5590 battery. The image first appeared on the Harris Corporation website and though it was removed minutes later, copies quickly circulated on the web.

Apple has not commented on the photo or indicated any cooperation with Harris, but it has already created excitement among a market group that has long been ignored by the technology giant.
