Rumor has it that Apple may finally give its next gen supplying a 4-inch screen. According to Jeremy Horwitz, editor-in-chief at iLounge, the iPhone 5 could have the bigger screen and a design change "even though the move was against the wishes of the late Steven Jobs. According to iLounge, a pretty trusty source for iPhone news and rumors, the iPhone 5 will be very different from the latest incarnation of Apple's mobile.



iPhone redesigned

The upgrade, slated for next year, is rumoured to have a larger 4-inch screen "like almost all of its Android-driven rivals. That is not the only change. With a bigger screen, the iPhone 5 reportedly would also be about 8mm longer than the present version. It'll also have a square design and will come outfitted with a 4G aerial capable to providing a super fast 1 GBPS mobile web connection. According to the iPhone news sources, the device will also have an aluminium case like the iPad.



Allegedly, the new iPhone is still in the designing and engineering phase, since other versions of the prototype failed thanks to the shortened battery life caused by the 4G aerial. Industry and Apple insiders say the iPhone 5 was ditched one or two months before the iPhone 4S was released, because the late Steve Jobs strongly opposed the bigger screen. Job's reason? The bigger screen "fragmented" iPhones. The difficulty with 4G (the LTE aerial) battery drain also threw a wrench into the new phone's design. (4G service is not available in some areas, including Great Britain, but sources guess that there would be one in place once the iPhone 5 hits the shelving.)



Other changes

iPhone news reports say that the new design, though longer, will be flatter than the existing iPhone. It will also feature a 10-megapixel camera, a better screen, and will still feature an individual assistant. Though the private aid feature will be retained, it will not be called Siri but will only be known as "Assistant."



Some fans have replied 'no' to these rumoured changes, though others are quite open to the concept of reconstructing the iPhone. Do these rumours have any real weight? We'll certainly see as fast as we hear more on the iPhone 5. In the meantime, we will keep you posted on iPhone news and more so keep checking back.
