Last night I written an article in which I presented the video clip above plus some information about the differences between the 2 cases presented in the clip. The images appeared in the meantime on all the specialized websites and each author had his own opinion about these components. Most say that it would be about the internal structure of the future iPhone 5 terminal because there are quite a few changes, minor ones to be sure, and last year in February there was a leak similar to the case of the future iPhone 4 terminal.
Watching the video clip several times, I noticed that most of the changes were made to allow a redesign of the antennas but also to allow the integration of new components. Considering last year's problems with the antenna, it seems that Apple paid special attention to them, but there is a possibility that the attention has another reason behind it, the preparation of a CDMA terminal. It has long been rumored that Apple will release such a device, and although I don't think that an iPhone 4 CDMA with a modified design will be available this year, an iPhone 5 with the case in the images above could be released in the summer.
I said above that the launch of an iPhone 4 CDMA with this design will not happen. The motivation for this statement lies in the fact that Apple could not compromise its image so much as to release an iPhone 4 CDMA with a modified design, around the antennas, especially considering the whole scandal of last summer. If he did this, he tacitly acknowledges that the problems exist, and they do exist, and that would upset millions of customers around the world. On the other hand, Apple could launch an iPhone 4 CDMA with a modified design and could invoke the fact that the changes were necessary to make the terminal compatible with the new networks.
Returning to the statement in the first paragraph, the one in which I said that last year images of the iPhone 4 case appeared as early as February. On February 8, 2010, an iResQ company that repairs iDevices publicat some pictures of components that are now found in iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G. It is true that they published them a month later than what appeared now, but the current information is plausible considering what happened last year. Taking these into account, it is possible that in the images presented yesterday we will see for the first time what the outer casing and the internal structure of the iPhone 5 will look like.
What do you think?
UPDATED: The video has been deleted, so guess it might be real!
