Apple iPhone prototype pictured, is it the next iPhone 5s?

While everyone is sliding towards the reports that iOS 7 will feature a redesign, here comes an alleged photo of the next iPhone’s hardware – and it looks interesting as it employs the iPhone 5’s look with a totally different implementation. Apple iPhone 5S anyone?

GSMarena received images of what seems to be a prototype of Apple (note that the source couldn’t even swear to its authenticity), but what makes it believable up to a certain extent is that Apple had a similar patent approved last week. The screen on the image isn’t visible, and gone is the signature home-button. The site states that the design isn’t typical of Apple as it favors squarish & compact designs.

patent

The angle we can take this on is that Jony Ive is now working on both hardware and software teams of Apple, and this could be a move to match both and make it compliment each other designwise. If iOS 7 really is facing a redesign, then the loss of a home button can be justified.

It also could be just a prototype which won’t be seeing the light of day anytime soon. Or, just a very good render as we so no flaws in the image itself. We prepared a render for you down below.

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .

But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another
platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

Thank you for another informative blog. The place else may I get that type of information written in such a perfect
approach? I have a challenge that I’m simply now operating on, and I have been on the glance out for such info.

Excellent Emergency · 13 years ago

Such exceptional ideas, it’s almost impossible to look for a person who can in fact discuss this as correct as you did. You gained an additional reader. Cheers for preparing a helpful post.

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes
it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often.

Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Exceptional work!

Provacyl Review · 13 years ago

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

What’s up colleagues, pleasant post and pleasant arguments commented here, I am in fact enjoying by these.

You are wonderful! Thank you!

Right here is the perfect web site for anyone who hopes to find out about
this topic. You realize so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really would
want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject
which has been discussed for ages. Great stuff, just wonderful!

There are different kinds of aquatic plants that can be used for aquascaping depending on
your style and artistic imagination. Now that more and
more books are being written for vamps, another long time love, I am totally enjoying the new
crop of writers who have vamps and magicians as their
heroes. The big business fish is used for food
to feed our world but only a few are used for fish when they
come off a hook on the end of our line.

ang chaka ng design. parang gitna ng xperia at lumia. goodluck sa design infringement. maryosep nawala na iphone when steve jobs passed away. puro marketing at PR aspect nalang ang apple. kung di ko lang type ang apple apps over android eh nagibang phone nalang ako. good thing’s ang i have my spare gnote2.

as for bob, better luck next time. hope u listen to your haters. i dunno if yugatech pays you to do this articw but we hope that it is worth.

More @bobfreking hate. Seriously, Yugatards, just go make a meme pic for this and be done with it.

I don’t read GSMArena. If you do, and you see this article, what do you gain from viewing it? Better to deny the article a viewcount and help the number of Freking readers dwindle. If you read it before on another website, then take the time to read it again here, THEN make the effort to post non-constructive comments about it… well, compare that time and effort you just spent to the time and effort spent by Bob’s supposed “copy-paste” job. Who’s the idiot now? You’re the type who should take heart the methods of some of the other commenters who actually provide some sort of constructive feedback, so the person you’re so annoyed by reading will hopefully become less annoying to you. If that’s too much effort, then just shut up; you’re part of the problem, not the solution.

The man at least cites his sources.

Bob, if you read this, thanks for the article. Copypasta or not, it’s news to me.

Tinignan ko muna yung author bago ko basahin. Hindi na ako nagtaka kung bakit yun yung article.

Ah, kung pala nai-post na ng ibang website ang bawal na palang gumawa ng article. Paki-post nga po sa comment ang law na yan at ng wala ng mag-post ng nai-post na. Mga nagmamagaling! F*CK ALL OF YOU na nagmamagaling! IDIOTS!

Nate · 13 years ago

Di naman po sa ipinagbabawal ng batas, yung originality po yung hinahanap. As a writer, dapat sariling perspective ang isinusulat. Ang weird naman kung copy-paste lang, parang walang dating. Pero OK lang kasi may source naman na nakalagay sa ibaba ng article. :)

garz · 13 years ago

This is a rumor. Anong originality at perspective ang hinahanap nyo? Sasabihin nyo naman magpost siya ng sarili nyang haka-haka tungkol sa bagong iPhone? Tapos sasabihin nanaman ng iba, gaya-gaya lang siya at nakiki-uso?

Then this will never end, bandwagoners! Just read the freaking article. Kung nabasa nyo na sa iba, wag na magcomment. Feeling nyo naman superior kayo..

Nate · 13 years ago

@garz: Oo nga po eh. Nagtataka din po ako sa sarili ko. Parang feeling eh no?

Oh ayan na po, para di na lumaganap ang away.

BertSingson · 13 years ago

The drawing shows a device with a 30-pin connector instead of the current Lightning Connector. It’s probably a old concept drawing of the 4th gen ipod nano.

garz · 13 years ago

I think that’s what Apple is trying to make it look like.. You know, that Prior Art stuff or something. Para masabi nila na nauna talaga sila sa concept na yun.

Remember, iPhone 5, 5S, and 6 are still influenced by Jobs as he already made plans for the next three generations of iPhones before he passed away.

thecorrescode · 13 years ago

Wala bang unique article si Bob Freking. Pansin ko lang, lahat ng article niya ay repost lang from another site like phonearena or gsmarena. Other authors here in yugatech hindi naman… Gesh…

RodNapeda · 13 years ago

Bob Freaking I agree CorresCode. nahalata ko din. Better investigate further, research more, make your tech news more interesting than those writers from your sources.

By the way, I’m an avid reader of this site (http://www.androidauthority.com/) it’s because of a Fil Guy (Josh) there who rocks them (other international writers) all out.

You have the talent and guts, polish it further.
