iPhone 5 redesign rumours floated

Tuesday, March 8, 2011 - 09:29:48

The latest reports from within the mobile industry, suggests that the Apple iPhone 5 will have a look and feel which is more akin to the first three handsets in the range and not to the flat, glass-backed iPhone 4 design.

When the iPhone 4 arrived last year, it was praised for its enhanced stylings, which did away with the metallic backplate of its predecessors, although issues with the external antenna band did something to detract from its initial impact.

Now the iPhone 5 will be going back to the metal casing on the rear and will even feature a new antenna arrangement, which will eliminate the issues with reception which still require iPhone 4 users to slip a bumper or case onto their mobile to avoid dropped calls.

Apple will be integrating all of the antenna gubbins into its famous logo mounted on the back of the iPhone 5, according to Japanese website, Makotakara, which has mock-ups of how the new handset might look.

Some might see this as a step backwards from the splendour of the iPhone 4, but Apple has rarely fluffed a design and it is unlikely to do so with the fifth smartphone in its class-leading range.

The reports about the iPhone 5 imply that it will feature a dual core processor that is identical to the one unveiled in the iPad 2 last week, which would certainly correlate with Apple's previous hardware strategies linking its smartphones and tablets.

A launch date for the iPhone 5 of June or July is also being restated, quelling rumours that it was being pushed back until later in the year. Previous iPhones have arrived like clockwork in the summer and so this trend looks likely to continue with the next generation in 2011.
