Apple's next iPhone will be slightly taller to accommodate a 4-inchscreen with a new aspect ratio, will feature a redesigned dockconnector, and will also have a new metal panel on the back side, anew report claims. The latest rumors about Apple's sixth-generation iPhone came on Thursday from iLounge , which said the new iPhone will be about 10 millimeters taller,giving it dimensions of 125 millimeters tall, 5.8 millimeters wideand 7.4 millimeters thick. That's about 2 millimeters thinner thanthe current iPhone 4S, with essentially the same width as thecurrent model. Because the new iPhone will allegedly be the same width, that wouldmean that new applications would need to be designed to work withthe handset. The taller screen would have more pixels at the topand bottom, giving it a different aspect ratio. "According to our source, Apple will make one major change to therear casing, adding a metal panel to the central back of the newiPhone," the report said. "This panel will be flat, not curved, andmetal, not ceramic." Author Jeremy Horwitz also added that the new iPhone is expected tobe partially made from Gorilla Glass 2, which offers identicalstrength to the original Gorilla Glass with a thinner design. Atjust 0.8 millimeters thick , Gorilla Glass 2 can withstand 121 pounds of pressure. Finally, the report also claimed that the next iPhone will have anew, smaller dock connector that will be "a little larger" than thebottom speaker and microphone ports on the existing iPhone 4S. Thenew port was described as "a pill shape," and is believed to havejust 16 pins, compared to the current 30-pin dock connector. "It will be used in all upcoming devices, including an update tothe iPod touch that's expected this year, and will almost certainlyfeature a similarly updated screen and CPU," the report said. In March, iLounge reported that Apple was working on a new case for the iPad that would protect not only the front screen, as thecurrent magnetic Smart Case does, but also the aluminum back panelof the device. The site credited a "repeatedly reliable source,"but such a case has not yet been released. The rumors come on the heels of a new component claimed to be the SIM card tray for Apple's next-generationiPhone. A home button also purported to be from a prototype Apple handset also appeared,but no components thus far have given any concrete indication thatthe next iPhone's design will be a radical departure from the lookof the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Still, there has been rampant speculation that Apple's next iPhone will have a redesigned exterior. Rumorsof unibody enclosures, larger screens and thinner form factors haveall cropped up in recent months. Early prototyping of the next iPhone is believed to be underwayahead of a launch anticipated this fall, one year after the debutof the iPhone 4S. In March it was said that Apple was reviewing potential components for the new iPhone. Rumors surrounding the next iPhone have picked up steam in recentweeks, as one report said the handset will feature Qualcomm's"MDM9615" LTE 4G chip for high-speed wireless connectivity. Reportshave also claimed that the next iPhone will adopt in-cell touch panel technology, which will allow Apple to make thenext iPhone thinner by 0.44 millimeters, or fit in a largerbattery.
