As for those who are quite eager to know more about the status of the rumored next-gen iPhone, we’ve heard that the handset is currently gearing up for mass production. If you can still recall, we did mention in our previous posts that Apple could be preparing for the upcoming release of its latest iPhone version.
Even so, there were no clear statements that could confirm the phone’s features and specifications. But guess what? An unnamed yet reliable source from Foxconn (courtesy of 9to5mac) leaked that prototypes of the rumored iPhone 5 have been circulating around certain establishments. The source added that these sample handsets vary in terms of features and specs. Nonetheless, there’s a common feature that could possibly hint that the next-gen Apple handset will be made longer and wider than the current iPhone 4S. That being said, all models were sporting a large 4+ inch display.
But that’s not all. It was also revealed that the iPhone 5 will not be offered as a teardrop-shaped device. Instead, it will be a symmetrically shaped handset with a form factor that won’t be made similar to the earlier iPhone versions. Do take note that none of these sample devices have been claimed as the final version. Another important thing to consider is the timeframe allotted for the handset’s production. Given the fact that the production of the iPhone 4S started on late spring and if we tend to follow the month-interval, there’s a great chance that the iPhone 5 will hit the shelves by summer instead of fall.
Looking back at the previous rumors, it was mentioned that the next-gen Apple iPhone will be housed in a redesigned form factor. One of the key highlights of the completely redesigned model will be the rubber/plastic bezel. It’s really up to you if you want to remain sceptical. Just bear in mind that there’s no confirmation or whatsoever from Apple.
