Possible New iPhone Leaked

The iPhone repair experts at iFixyouri have unearthed what 'could' be the next iPhone - or iPhone 2012 as it's currently being called. From a production standpoint, it seems that the metal antenna band is molded into the metal backplates, possibly Apple’s way of creating a unibody enclosure. Apple introduced unibody notebooks in late 2008, and the purpose of the unibody is to allow Apple to produce thinner and lighter, yet stronger, devices. This could mean that now that most of the phone’s external elements are one piece, Apple is likely able to squeeze more into the iPhone internally.

Apple needs all the space they can get with their plans of producing LTE smartphones with proper improved battery life.

The long rumored smaller dock connector makes an appearance, and the headphone jack has been moved to the bottom of the iPhone. Speaker grills have been redesigned, and there is a new opening between the camera lens and the LED flash.

Obviously, this could be a pretty great iPhone fake, or even a design that just never got made into production, but the guys from iFixyouri were the first to reveal that the iPad would come in white, so who knows.

If it is indeed real, we expect the iPhone 2012 to be announced along with iOS.6 later this year.
