Apple will reportedly release its redesigned iPhone in the fall of 2012 and may plan to use a rubber or plastic material similar to that of the bumper accessory in its new device, according to BGR.

In all likelihood, this material will be used as a bezel surrounding the front edge of the phone (like the iPhone 3GS bezel) and it will serve two purposes. First, it will join the glass iPhone face with a new aluminum back plate. It will also cover a redesigned antenna system that surrounds the device, allowing Apple to build the rear case out of aluminum without having to use a large plastic insert above the antennas as the company does on its iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Earlier reports suggested that Apple's next-generation iPhone will feature an aluminum case similar to the one found on the iPad 2, as well as a larger display around 4 inches.

While its very likely that Apple will release a redesigned device next year, there is still plenty of time of Apple modify its plans or designs for the next device.
