iMore: the final design of the next iPhone is not yet defined

The story develops in a spiral, and usually after there is a new iPad (funny pun turned out), the public begins to focus on the future model of iPhone. Constantly there are some rumors, assumptions, concepts, in general, the usual thing, and now just such a period. Moreover, the situation was quite tense, because the next iPhone, according to the update cycle of Apple (3G-3GS, 4-4S) to be severely altered in comparison with its predecessor not only filling, but also in design. Editor in Chief iMore, Rene Ritchie (Rene Ritchie), procured from their own "reliable sources" interesting information about the iPhone and the sixth generation, amid mass hysteria, by its nature it resembles "the spitting image of a hot body to a tub of cold water."

The giant screen, as in modern monstrofonah based on Android? Forget! Widescreen display with 16:9 aspect ratio? No way! Metal back panel? Yeah, dreaming! That's because Ritchie dispelled the dreams of some users to the nines, and for good reason. He said the reason for such a bold speculation and allegations involving "close to Apple sources, who with his own eyes have seen the new iPhone» is the active creation and testing of prototypes within the company.

Johnny Ive and his design team does not trust the sketches or plastic crafts, have touched the future of the product with their own hands, to feel how it would be in the palm of your hand which will give tactile feedback. Engineers and designers are also easier to work with the prototype, not only with circuits on paper or PC. These prototypes are the most often are the source of rumors about what would look like a new product. And in fact, as noted by Ritchie, the final design of the next generation iPhone is not even defined. Nevertheless, some important points have already been approved.

Thus, the Home button will remain a fundamental change in the mechanics of the interface iOS is not expected. Work on the new, more compact dock-connector really is, but no major changes are foreseen for the display. If we decide to Apple and to increase the screen size, then it is unlikely to exceed 4 inches. But most likely, the company will retain a 3.5-inch display. In principle, due to ease of iOS, it is quite comfortable for virtually any tasks (writing, based on personal experience, which includes a comparison with 4,3 - and 5,3-inch units), except for viewing video, although you can get used to it.

In addition, work is underway on the introduction of LTE-modem in the iPhone and the rejection of the maps Google, as a standard application iOS. It is expected that the release of the gadget will be held in October this year. At the same time can happen and start the 7-inch iPad.
