For months, rumors about the iPhone 5 have been weaving a whole network of possibilities that, recently, have ended up configuring an imaginary terminal that many clueless have ended up taking for good. Perhaps before this revelation, a group of German engineers have jumped into the ring and have built a model of the apple phone that brings together the main rumors about the iPhone 5.
They have been fans who participate in cyberspace through the Giga.de and Benm.at websites. As it is a model, and not a model with full functions, the entire simulation has been based on the design, which is not small.
For starters, get a four-inch screen into a slightly more compact design than the iPhone 4. To do this, hastens the distance to the edges and earn a few millimeters integrating another rumored points: the key rectangular start.
With this home button , the design of the iPhone 5 achieves that the length of the phone is compressed, developing a wider screen without stretching the design of the phone itself. The same key, in addition, is supposed to integrate multi-touch control options, approaching the philosophy of the Magic TrackPad for computers from the apple firm.
Something that draws a lot of attention is how they have attended to that rumor that raises an irregular thickness in the iPhone 5. Thus, the model developed by these German fans have a measure of 5.33 millimeters striking at its thinnest area (at the rear of the home button) and 6.86 mm at its thickest part.
In addition, the finish of the outer case would be very reminiscent of the iPad 2, with a touch of aluminum that would seek to give more firmness to the design, compared to the fragility that the glass ended up giving the iPhone 4.
As for the external controls, the volume and lock / power buttons would remain where they have been, thus obviating the clues of the latest cases that, supposedly, would have been designed from leaked official prototypes.
In any case, in general terms we really liked this model, although now we have to compare the prophetic proposal that it constitutes with the model that Apple will present next Tuesday, October 4 from 7:00 p.m., Spanish peninsular time.
