MobilePhone.co.uk has posted diagrams for an iPhone 5 case that allegedly reveals a new design for the popular smartphone.
In April, former Engadget editor Joshua Topolsky detailed a radical teardrop redesign with a 3.7-inch screen and a home button gesture area. The case diagrams posted by MobilePhone seem to depict this design; however, MacRumors says they have received a reliable tip that this is not what the iPhone 5 will look like.
The diagram below show a device with a larger 4-inch screen made possible by a smaller bezel. The phone's rear panel curves gently back around its edges, much like the iPhone 3G. A gap for the Apple logo suggests that perhaps the logo will serve as the iPhone's antenna.
The physical home screen button has been replaced with a touch-sensitive ovaloid area which takes up the middle half of the bottom border which could be used for multi-touch gestures. The buttons have been moved to the opposite side of the device.
The source of these diagrams is said to be a Chinese case manufacturer. Although their authenticity is questionable, recent reports have predicted a major redesign for the upcoming iPhone.
Has anyone noticed that the first diagram on the left is wrong? The phone is up side down and the sleep button is close to the home button. In other diagrams, the sleep button is close to the camera like it's supposed to be.
That would be so dope is the screen was larger and it was thin like an iPod! Sounds like an apple move to me! They specialize in making devices not only better but thinner!
