When the current iPhone 4S was introduced, a radical change in its design was expected. Nothing is further from reality. Apple decided to give a little more life to the model it was selling at that time -the iPhone 4-, and only presented a renewal of that model. The main changes are a more powerful camera, a new dual-core processor and the star feature: the personal assistant named Siri.
Users began to criticize the position taken by those in Cupertino and the results can already be seen in the poor sales that the iPhone 4S is suffering in Europe. However, the iPhone 5 should appear next year and apparently - according to The Boy Genius Report page - it will be a completely renewed model, very similar to the design that the second generation of its tablet currently has: the iPad 2.
According to the anonymous source -but very close to the apple company-, which has released the information to the portal, the new iPhone 5 will put aside its glass back cover to make way for an aluminum one. In addition, the part that joins this part with the touch screen glass, will be carried out by a rubber band or some similar material, which will serve to introduce a new antenna system that the terminal would use. In addition, in this way, there would be a lateral protection at all times and the grip by the user would be much safer and preventing the iPhone 5 from slipping from the hands as much as possible.
Finally, the thickness of the new generation of Apple's mobile would be less than the current model, in addition to achieving a larger multi-touch screen that could reach four inches diagonally; one of the characteristics that the public most demanded before knowing the version that is currently sold.
