Rumor Roundup: A fool's game
Foxconn Robots Proving Unsuitable for iPhone Assembly, Updated Versions in the Works (MacRumors)

Chance it's true: Who knows

Saved you a BGR: Apple filed a patent for a 3D display on the iPhone.
We normally don't bother reporting on the vast array of patents Apple applies for, simply because there's no guarantee any of them will actually make their way into a shipping product.
