iPhone 5 minimal form factor change

A lot of iPhone avid users are wondering what changes could be made in iPhone 5. And a number believe that the iPhone 5 will be different from iPhone 4 in terms of form factor. Some thinks it may look like the iPad 2 with tapered edges and some suggests that it will be a slimmer model with wider screen or it may have slightly different dimensions.

But analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo says that the iPhone 5 form factor will be almost the same but slightly thinner due to the smaller physical size of the camera attached. But this is just another opinion on the ongoing subject of the iPhone 5. If the announcement dates of late September, early October hold true, we should find out fairly soon what the new device will look like.

Other key points reiterated by Ming-chi include:

* 512MB RAM – Lower than we expected as it’s the same as the iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
* 3.5 Inch Display – Rumours hinted at a 3.7 or 4 inch screen in the past, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the 5th gen model stay the same as the rest.
* Slightly Slimmer Camera – As expected, but not much of a change. This “might” make the iP5 slimmer than the iP4, but not by much.
* Glass on front and back. If this is the case, we could see exactly the same design as before.

For those who wanted a new design you might be disappointed if the information by Kuo is correct. However, in our experience of reports in the past, they’ve often not been quite right.
