Apple Rumours: Next Gen iPhone caught in the snare – Part 2

The blog, which correctly targeted the announcement date of Apple’s third-generation iPad unveiling, as well as the tablet’s inclusion of 4G LTE networking, added that the new phone would follow in the iPhone 4S’ footsteps and launch in the fall.

Besides 4G LTE, which was rumored ahead of the iPhone 4S, this is the latest such mention of Apple working on a miniaturized dock connector to help make extra room in its portable devices. A report from Japanese Apple-centric blog Macotakara in October claimed as much, with iMore adding to those claims last month, saying the smaller ports were headed to the iPhone and iPad so that Apple could make more room in those devices for other components.

The 30-pin adapter, which Apple uses on iPods, iPhones, and iPads, was originally designed to help make iPods thinner; Apple began with full-sized Firewire ports, later switching to USB exclusively. It’s since become the standard for third-party docks and accessories.

In addition, the aforementioned sources reveal that the new smartphone from Cupertino might also make changes in real estate of screen, eventually leading to the overall size of the device. As the co-founder and visionary leader Steve Jobs is no more around to keep his foot on extra and absurd developments in his beloved device, there are chances that the company might show flexibility in the resolution of the device aside from the size of the screen. Though the iPhone has a 3.7-inch screen which is not a very big display as compared to the likes of HTC Titan and Samsung Galaxy SII, much less the Galaxy Note, it is still the best in terms of resolution and in terms of handling by smaller hands.
