The unusual concept of the iPhone 5

Because now, all around tremble in anticipation of the third iPad, passion for the sixth iPhone (yes, the fingers on your hand is not enough) a little subsided. Not heard speculation, curious Chinese with bad cameras often come into the shop, where planshetniki collect, etc. There are no reliable or at least prima facie data - however, there is no plausible or concepts.

While the initiative to render MacRumors speculation finds no application, the Italian studio CiccareseDesign comes off, as is often said, "in full". Just look at this concept. Never say 'never', but you can not imagine that Apple in the near future, do something like that?

The author sees the notes here are two things that do not fit in my head. First, why the side key, and even in the top of the device? To take a picture? But the photograph, then the right hand. Secondly, where a 30-pin connector? At the bottom, if you can call it that, no butt connectors are not visible, and at the top, too. What do you say? It is understood inductive charging, or the designers screwed up?

And again, glowing logo. Battery 4S is already "live" on a third smaller than its predecessor. Beautiful, technically achievable, but it is far from reality.

Translate from: English Allow phonetic typing iPhone 4S in the China Telecom from March 9

By the way, news came two months after being in Shanghai and Beijing stopped the open sale Yabloko latest Apple phone because of an angry crowd waiting for a riot.

Since China Telecom in a given situation requires a high-profile advertising moves, special price on iPhone 4S operator will be ... zero. That is, each user who wished to have a brand new devaysom, concludes a three-year contract with the operator and receives a "zabesplatno" pipe. Minimum monthly fee for a plan for the use of $ 46 (289 yuan)
