iPhone 5 To Have 3.7-Inch Screen with Complete Redesign

A report has come in from former Engadget editor Mr Joshua Topolsky where he talks and give an information on the next gen iPhone 5. However, this information completely contradicts all the other recent claims.

Mr Joshua Topolsky reckons that the iPhone 5 will be completely redesigned, and will look more like an iPod touch than the iPhone 4. Recent reports state that the iPhnone 5 will be largely unchanged from the iPhone 4.

Another interesting feature that Mr Joshua Topolsky mentions is that the home button will be doing “double duty” and act as a button, and a gesture area. We have seen for gestures on the iPad, and our sources say that gestures are definitely coming in a future version of iOS. The home button will likely be enlarged, but not scrapped altogether.

Mr Joshua Topolsky says his sources have told him it will go up to 3.7-inches. He says that the front of the phone will have almost no bezel surround, and the screen will occupy the whole front. The “sources” say that Apple are even looking at incorporating the earpiece and sensors behind the glass itself.

A lovely mockup regarding this new iPhone 5 .

Multiple sources makes some fairly valid points, particularly about the display size and Mr Joshua claim that Apple is testing a couple of different models of the iPhone 5, and this is what has been seen by some of them until the market release.
