iPhone 5 rumor rollup for the week ending Nov. 4

04.11.2011

The news site then rehashes a bunch of long-standing rumors about the Next iPhone: it will have a bigger screen, be "super slim and light", a metal casing and support for HSPA+ 21, which is how some define "4G."

"Apparently, the iPhone 5 will be that massive redesign that everyone is demanding, as DigiTimes' sources say that Apple is planning an "overhaul" of all its product lines for 2012," pitched in Josh Wolford, at . Except for the millions of people who are demanding and buying the new iPhone 4S and the other existing models. In case we're not sure what an "overhaul" would mean exactly for Apple, Wolford helpfully adds, "This would mean the iPad, iMac, MacBook, as well as the iPhone would be seeing significant changes."

KnowYourMobile concluded that Apple isn't just overhauling products, even though that's actually what DigiTimes claimed. "After nearly nine years of creating products composed of aluminum, brushed metals and shiny materials, Apple is reported to be changing its design philosophy for 2012 - and it's starting with the iPhone 5 and iPad 3," . 

"And while good design never ages, we don't think we're alone when we say that people are ready for some new form-factors within Apple's range of products," he added, implying that the good design has in fact aged, or that because it's aged it wasn't a good design to begin with, or...something.

Of course, one is never alone when one is commenting on what Apple should be doing.
