iPhone5 Rumors n Leaks.........

[optimus950]

Salamz To All Bros,
Decided to make this thread coz 9to5mac claimed the leaks of next gen iPhone parts.
Please share with us whatever you come to know about this upcoming beast.
Regards.

Black and white next-gen metal iPhone backs, mini-dock, taller screen, moved earphone jack present

Earlier today, we posted the first image of the back plate for the next-generation iPhone, and now we have received several more images that are very high-resolution. These new shots showcase a comparison between the black and white versions of the next-generation iPhone back. The black and white coloring is, of course, a trim, and a large portion of the back – as you can see – is made out of metal. We are unsure at this point what purpose this metal serves (or if it is just a stylistic addition), but the metal is definitely present in all of our photos of the device’s back.
From a production standpoint, it appears that the metal antenna band is molded into the metal backplates. We assume this is Apple’s way of creating a unibody enclosure for mobile devices. Apple introduced unibody notebooks in late 2008, and the purpose of the unibody is to allow Apple to produce thinner and lighter, yet stronger, devices. Now that most of the phone’s external elements are one piece, Apple is likely able to squeeze more into the iPhone internally. Apple needs all the space they can get with their plans of producing LTE smartphones with proper battery life.
These photos also clearly show some of the features of the next-generation iPhone. The long rumored smaller dock connector is present, the earphone jack has been moved to the bottom corner of the device (the first time Apple has done this on one of their smartphones), the speaker grills have been redesigned, and there is a new opening between the camera lens and the LED flash. We’re not sure what this opening is, but it is possible that Apple is moving the second microphone (Apple started shipping two microphones with the iPhone 4) to the back for improved audio capture during video recording.

We also have photos of some of the next-generation iPhone parts, other than the black and white backs. The photo above is of a next-generation iPhone frame that holds in components such as the home button (which is definitely present). According to our supply chain sources, who obtained these parts, the frame indicates that the new iPhone will be the same width as the current 4 and 4S models, but it will be longer. This adds to our report in which we claimed the new iPhone would sport a taller screen with the same width. Sources say that the new iPhone’s interface will be redesigned to take advantage of the newly available screen real estate. The screen resolution is said to be 1136 x 640, with a screen size of 3.999 inches (diagonally)

Adding to that, above is a photo of what we believe to be the black next-generation iPhone front glass. According to our sources, this glass has room for a taller display with the same width as the screens on previous iPhone models. Notably it appears that the camera lens for the front (what Apple calls the FaceTime camera) has moved above the earpiece. It is now centered. From the above photo, we can also deduce that the rumored edge-to-edge technology is not coming in this iPhone (as previously rumored), and that Apple is definately testing these units with the Micro-SIM technology from the iPhone 4/4S (smaller SIMs – and even no SIMs – have been rumored). We’re expecting the new iPhone to launch alongside iOS 6 in the fall, complete with other rumored features like LTE and an improved processor.

anyone can make a rumor, but rumor from a reliable source does carry some weight.
9to5mac is very famous n quite right in the past about apple leaks besides images n build quality of the parts looks promising.

anxiously waiting for ipod touch 5g
here is a look at expected 3d maps in ios 6

​

 

[HAMMER of THOR]

it must be true... no one is gonna buy a 3.5" screen anymore if they are looking for a flagship phone... apple needs to make it bigger and thinner... and maybe stronger...

 

[Lord Ammar]

LOL I bet if they even make it 3" it will still outsell anything else out there.

 

[SHKHAN]

put the apple logo on any thing and it will sell like hotcakes.

 

[Shabak]

I agree with @Hesab Magsi ... Apple needed come back into the competition due to the launch of Galaxy S2, and they it did with the launch of the iPhone 4S ... But now, they surely will up the game with something even more ellaborate and better with the release of the new iPhone 5, with a definite change in the shape and an upgrade in the iOS and this will surely take some time to develop.

 

[amaga]

i need a huge changes n leap in iOS other then phone.

hope Apple ll give us a unique n advance OS in iPhone 5.

[mohsinmk]

Ahan, this is what people used to say about nokia when their symbian was on peak with cellphones like 6600, 7610, they did the same mistake n did not evolve with time, Consequently did'nt take much time to be kicked out of the game.

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

I am sure @annas92 won't be buying the new iPhone next year, cuz he said that he cannot use phones with displays larger than 3.5 inch...

^ that comment was for the poongi to android hope you know poongi

anyways i got support for 3.5 inch screen here

Why does the iPhone have a 3.5-inch screen? Why do larger smartphones feel awkward on your hand? Dustin Curtis has an answer, and I think it is spot on:

Touching the upper right corner of the screen on the Galaxy S II using one hand, with its 4.27-inch screen, while you're walking down the street looking at Google Maps, is extremely difficult and frustrating. I pulled out my iPhone 4 to do a quick test, and it turns out that when you hold the iPhone in your left hand and articulate your thumb, you can reach almost exactly to the other side of the screen.
​

His graphic shows this clearly. It makes total sense. And that is exactly why we would never see any larger screen iPhone. That 3.5-inch screen will be the ideal size until all humans are 7-feet tall and have hands the size of frying pans.

No, Nokia went bust because they started making garbage, plain and simple.

[h=2]Next iPhone’s Leaked Rear Shell Matches Up With What Is Being Tested Internally At Apple[/h]

If you are keeping up on all your iPhone 5 rumors, then you will no doubt have gotten all hot under the collar about yesterday’s leaked images of what appear to be rear plates from an “iPhone 5”. The images were part of a collection which also showed a relocated FaceTime camera and altered unibody design. The new shell, or should we say supposed photos of the supposed shell, caused something of a frenzy across the internet yesterday, with arguments breaking out as to their authenticity.
Today the same blog has come back to say that these images match up with at least one of the iPhone prototypes that are currently being tested by Apple internally, and with no handsets yet being left in a bar or being the subject of a raid, then we will have to take9to5Mac’s word for it.
Of course, the site is not simply guessing. Using sources that have been used before, 9to5Mac believes that Apple is currently working on a variety of possible future iPhones at its Cupertino campus. If these leaked photos do indeed show the handset in deconstructed form, then we are in for an all-new design, complete with a new screen. Taller than the current iPhone screen, but the same width, a change in screen size would be the first time the dimensions of the screen have changed since the original iPhone was released back in 2007. With Android competition seeing increasingly large smartphones hitting the market, Apple is potentially set to increase its 3.5-inch screen size in order to keep up with the Joneses.

As of right now, the only thing we know for sure is that the rumors are beginning to come thick and fast, and when photographs start showing up then it is an indication that something is definitely afoot. If Apple is indeed altering the screen size of its next iPhone, we suspect it will need to inform App Store developers sooner rather than later in order to afford them as much time as possible to prepare. With WWDC coming up, could Apple let the cat out of the bag? Possibly not, unless the new handset is going to put in an appearance much sooner than the expected October release date.
