Next-Gen iPhone to be “touch-sensitive” with “new plastic casing”?

By on January 14, 2010 at 9:32am in Asides, Mobile News, Various News

Many rumours are circling around the next-generation iPhone that’s targeted to be released in June. Starting with a 5-megapixel camera, faster processor and multitasking. Bloomberg is reporting that the next iPhone will have casing that is similar to the popular Magic Mouse. This will change the overall feel of the device.

The article states “Apple’s going to put a lot of innovation, not just on the hardware, but also on the software of the new iPhone,” said Taipei-based Chen, a member of Asia’s top-ranked technology hardware research team. The handset will feature a new plastic casing similar to that used for Apple’s touch-panel Magic Mouse released last year… The technology may be replicated in the new iPhone to offer touch-sensitive features on the rear of the handset, Chen said.”

If this is true… what are your thoughts?

  2. Just give me multi tasking, and flash for the camera and ALOT better notification system and then I will be happy.

    Hell I’ll settle for better notifications and LED flash.

  3. I hope the updates are not to significant because I just bought a 3GS a couple of months ago.

    Hopefully all the best parts of the update will be with the OS.

  4. How about the ability to run Adobe Flash websites? Also would be nice if they made it easier for third-party input device integration (e.g. keyboard).

  5. Flash support will never happen. Apple can’t control the type of apps people make and distribute using flash as a platform.

  6. I hope that the next iphone will support the AWS frequencies, so that new carriers can use it.
