Rumors of iPhone 5 are heated up on internet day by day and the latest news suggest that Apple is sticking to its new release schedule and making some major design enhancement to the new iPhone.
The case of iPhone 5 will be Liquidmetal as reported by Washington Post. Its a metal alloy that acts like a metal glass. Its a strong material having smooth surface and can be used to manufacture the phones in various ways. Thats an exciting speculated rumor.
As per reports the parts made with Liquidmetal is a same process to plastic injection molding rather than by die-casting. There have been several rumors that Apple would be considering a unibody case for the iPhone, indicating that there is strong speculation that Apple will move away from the form factor it chose for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
There could be more than just the outer shell of new iPhone. Digitimes, a major supplier of Apple rumors suggest this week that the in-cell touch panels are manufactured by Sharp and Toshiba. However no official word came from both companies so far. If this rumor comes true then this change will turn the phone lighter and set a new standard in mobile industry. This technology would let Apple to make its touchpanels thinner because the sensors of the tocuh would be placed inside the color filters on the screen rather than on top of them.
So when, theoretically, can you get your hands on what appears to be a super-light, metal-backed iPhone?
Few weeks ago some strong rumors circulated after a massive hiring spree at Foxconn, a manufacturer for Apple, that Apple will be released in this summer. But analyst advises consumers to plan their budget for purchasing new iPhone in the fall.
Bloomburg reported that Munster has changed his mind about Apple’s release after Qualcomm announced it was having trouble meeting demand for LTE chips that will likely be used in the next phone. Although the analyst had previously expected an August release for the iPhone, he now believes the big day will fall in October.
Nothing, of course, is set in stone — even the name of the next iPhone, which could just be the “iPhone” — so don’t take any of these as a given until Apple announces the features itself.
