We have already seen some photos of what is reported to be the new back panel for Apple’s next generation iPhone, and now we have a video of the iPhone back panel compared next to the iPhone 4S.
As you can see in the video below, this new iPhone back panel is considerably larger than the existing iPhone 4S, which would indicate that it will feature a 4 inch display as we heard previously.
We have no idea if this is actually the new back panel on Apple’s next generation iPhone, although it looks exactly like the previous photos we saw.
Design Changes and Speculations
The larger back panel suggests that Apple is moving towards a bigger screen size, which aligns with the growing trend of larger displays in smartphones. The iPhone 4S features a 3.5-inch display, and the jump to a 4-inch display would be a significant change for Apple. This change could potentially offer a better viewing experience for users, making activities like watching videos and browsing the web more enjoyable.
Additionally, the new back panel appears to be made of metal, which could indicate a shift from the glass back used in the iPhone 4S. A metal back could provide better durability and a more premium feel. This design choice might also help with heat dissipation, potentially improving the phone’s performance during intensive tasks.
Expected Features and Launch Timeline
Apple is expected to launch their new iPhone sometime in September or October of 2012, which would be twelve months on from the launch of last year’s iPhone 4S. This timeline is consistent with Apple’s annual release cycle for their flagship devices.
Rumors suggest that the new iPhone could feature a faster processor, possibly the A6 chip, which would offer improved performance and efficiency. There are also speculations about an upgraded camera system, which could include better low-light performance and higher resolution capabilities.
Another anticipated feature is the inclusion of LTE connectivity, which would provide faster internet speeds and better overall network performance. This would be a significant upgrade from the 3G connectivity found in the iPhone 4S.
