An observant iPhone addict would
probably know that the best way to know if the next iPhone model is on its way
to unveiling is by looking into the rumor mill. While it can be said that Apple
rumors are the worst sources of information, it still creates a pattern to follow
as the time goes by. For one thing, you’ll notice that in the early stages of
rumor spreading the details of the story are vague and the sources usually from
unknown people who are said to have some knowledge on the tech giant’s plans. As
the possible release date comes nearer, iPhone gossip tends to get more
detailed, proof-ready and analyst-approved than before. The closer the release
date is, the more people are inclined to hear iPhone gossip and sell iPhone 4 or 4S. We
believe this is that time of the year; when sources seem very sure of themselves
and the press seems very sure of their sources while the rest of the world
continues to doubt.
Well here’s a piece of gossip
that gives us the impression we truly are getting nearer to the iPhone 5
release. Apparently, people from 9to5mac.com believe they have finally found
some proof that the next generation iPhone will have a bigger and taller screen. Apparently, the iOS 6 developer’s kit from the WWDC allows for a
scalable setting for a 640 x 1136 resolution display. The said resolution settings were first rumored
last May and were ‘confirmed’ by leaked photos of iPhone housings where the
screen is taller horizontally when compared to the iPhone 4S. Bet you’d want to
sell iPhone now
that the next one is better!
9to5mac reported that they used
the iOS Simulator on the iOS 6 developer’s tools at the resolution stated in
most early rumors. A comparison of the current iOS 5.1 and the beta versions iOS 6 showed four rows of apps on the home screen for the former. Meanwhile, on the
iOS 6, the home screen featured five complete rows for the apps. The site also
included screenshots to show the differences between the iOS 5 and iOS 6. The
simulator still cannot display five rows of icons clearly and correctly at the
640 x 1136 resolution. While these tests are not yet considered concrete proof
that we will be seeing an iPhone 5 with a tall screen, it could be a premise of
something better for the unveiling of the next iPhone.

Meanwhile, iPhone addicts are
getting ready to sell iPhone 4S anytime now to make way for an iPhone 5. Right now, experts say
consumers are slowing down immensely from buying new products as seen in
Apple’s Q3 revenue reports. And while it is understandable that people are
still savoring their devices for a couple of months until something newer and
bigger comes our way, we all have to remember that Apple has a reputation for
slashing the process once a new product is launched. If that’s the case, iPhone
4 owners may want to sell iPhone 4, 4S and 3GS right now before they lose value completely.
