Rumor has it…
- A bigger iPhone with a 4.7in screen is on the way! Which could possibly be released alongside a redesigned and more familiar-sized iPhone.
- The home button might be nixed and new patents show that Apple has taken an interest in gesture control.
- The iPhone casing could possibly be made out of liquidmetal! Several Apple employees filed patents for liquidmetal back in June of 2012, leading many to wonder why they have yet to utilize this technology.
- The iPhone screen could be made of Sapphire glass – or plastic with a thin sheet of Sapphire glass on top! Apple has invested heavily into the production of Sapphire glass, which leads many to think they will include the material in the next iPhone.
- The iPhone might include a quad-core A8 processor…or an evolved A7!
- The iPhone might include a 12 or 16-megapixel camera! Or a 13-megapixel camera!
- The iPhone might keep the same 8-megapixel camera as the iPhone 5s.
