Steve Jobs' last big project: The next iPhone (Superb iPhone 5)

The
iPhone 4S is not the last vital plan which Steve Jobs worked on, according to a single analyst. That would be the subsequent iPhone–let’s call it the
iPhone 5.

The next-generation iPhone “was the last plan which Steve Jobs was closely concerned with from judgment to last design. For which reason…this product will settle the tall H2O symbol for iPhone volumes,” Ashok Kumar, an researcher during Rodman & Renshaw, wrote in a investigate note this week. He expects the iPhone 5 to be a “cult classic” since of Jobs’ involvement.

In the note, Kumar conspicuous the phone will have a slimmer form as well as incomparable shade distance yet with the same measure as the iPhone 4S (the relatively-small 3.5-inch shade is not a single of the 4S’ most appropriate features). The iPhone is additionally approaching to have LTE, or Long Term Evolution–what’s infrequently referred to as 4G.

Another source, who we spoke with this week as well as who claims to have believe of the redesign, conspicuous the iPhone 5 is a “complete redesign. This is a really vast plan which Steve dedicated all of his time to. He was not which concerned in the 4S since his time was limited.”

That creates clarity to me. Cosmetically, the iPhone 4S is matching to the
iPhone 4. So no large shift here. And yet the 4S has been revamped on the inside, in a little respects, it carries over record already in the iPad 2: the same dual-core processor, same mental recall capacity, same accelerometer, same gyroscope, between alternative similarities.

So, it’s substantially not irrational to design the iPhone 5 to be a “complete redesign,” as the source said–meaning both outwardly as well as internally, yet substantially reduction so internally when compared with conspicuous user-facing changes similar to the arrangement size. (No revelation what kind of plans Apple has on the program front: iOS 6? Siri 2?)

The iPhone 5 should entrance around the time of Apple’s Developer’s Conference in the summer of 2012, according to Kumar’s investigate note.
