Sources say new iPhone 5 to have smaller than a 4-inch panel

August 29th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

There have been rumors about the iPhone 5 having a 4.2inch panel within the IT area for awhile now but following a leak from Apple’s website in Switzerland in early August, some sources from upstream panel suppliers have revealed that the iPhone 5 panel size will be less than 4 inches. It has also been noted that the iPhone’s back design will be a metal chassis instead of the reinforced glass that people are so use too. The rumored specifications of iPhone 5 include a 4- to 4.2-inch HD touch panel, 8-megapixel camera, Full HD video recording, A5 dual-core processor and new ultra-thin industrial design; however, the sources believe that the leaked specifications are rather the market’s expectations for iPhone 5. The sources pointed out that the upcoming iPhone will not have many differences compared to iPhone 4 in terms of components and the panel will still be less than 4-inch.
