Apple has been in news for quite a while for its rumours with changes in appearance of the upcoming iPhone5. Two of the most hyped rumours are that iPhone5 is expected to feature a larger display as compared to its previous models and the other is that it will come with a micro dock which will be much smaller in size than the previous one. However, the latter seems to be a confirmed information by TechCrunch as the upcoming device will feature a 19-pin dock instead of a 30-pin dock which comes with the current iOS running devices.
The report stated, ”Although the form factor and actual size are still unknown, TechCrunch has independently verified that Apple is working on adding a 19-pin port, replacing the current 30-pin port, to the new iPhone. It is a move that will surely send shocks through the iPhone accessory ecosystem.” They go on to add, “Three independent manufacturers all agreed that the 19-pin dock port is in the works and many accessory manufacturers are facing an uneasy few months as they wait for official news of the standard to be announced.”
Even MobileFun showed a list of possibilities of changes that might take place in the new phone. Its website presented a leaked picture of a case to get an idea of how the change in dimension of the device will affect its look. The report staff of MobileFun stated, “It looks like the iPhone 5 is getting closer to release, as we’ve seen a few tantalising images leak of the hotly anticipated next-gen handset. Today, we’ve got a few more fresh images that may confirm that the iPhone will indeed be a fairly drastic redesign from the iPhone 4 and 4S. One manufacturer we spoke to said that he was sure that the leaked images were accurate – so sure that he was already preparing to construct iPhone 5 cases and he’d be willing to ship replacements for free if they turned out not to be perfect.”
It is expected that the upcoming phone will be bigger in size as compared to its previous versions. It will measure 58.47 mm in width and 123.83 mm in height with a 4 inch display and 7.6 mm of thickness. The headphone jack of the device will also be located down instead of the top and the dock will be reduced to almost of a size of a micro USB.
The report also stated, “There are some other big changes afoot if this leak is accurate – the speaker grilles are much bigger and more pronounced on the bottom of the phone. The rear chassis is also new, with a two-colour aluminium design that separates the main rear cover from the antennae. Inside, there are expected to be changes too – including high speed LTE connectivity and the iOS 6 operating system. The phone is expected to launch in October.”
