iPhone 5 Schematic Revealed
Not another post about the rumored iPhone 5! Sorry, but it has to be talked about because the time is drawing near. The iPhone 5 is rumored to be released in the upcoming months but no one knows EXACTLY what the new phone will feature.
With some pictures from MobileFun, we see some images of an iPhone 5 case schematic. If this schematic is 100% real, we can get a basic overview of what the new device will feature.
You will notice a larger, edge-to-edge display for more viewing and better resolution. Do you think this is plausible? It may feel like a good idea to have the most screen space possible but putting it so close to the edge sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I can see so many of these screens being cracked with the slightest fall. If this screen rumor is true, hopefully Apple will take this to heart and make a very durable screen.
The two other things you may notice from a quick glace is that the home button is made larger and the back of the device is slight curved, like the iPad 2. Although the curved back seems like a great idea and will make it feel right for holding, why make the home button larger? I thought the reason behind the iPhone was to eliminate most of the button use so why make the button larger? I truly believe they should keep it the same or completely eliminate it with the new gestures iOS 5 has.
What are your thoughts? What would you like to see in the next generation iPhone? Leave your comments in the comment section.

No, they shouldn't eliminate the Home button. It's useful and iconic. The most likely reason to the larger Home button is it will be adding some features to it. Maybe touch sensitive features. Example: A swipe to the left on the home button will do something, and a swipe to the right will do something different. I could see that feature being very useful for different tasks, kind of like a short cut "button" for Home Screen access and then access to whatever you designate the swipes to do.
