The
iPhone 5, claim the sources, will arrive in September, and Apple is
putting a lot of thought and effort to make the bezel as negligible as
possible, so as to ensure fairly comfortable one-handed operation. Of
course, Tim Cook already warned that reading too much into channel
checks is not advisable, as there are a lot of tests and prototype
batches there. Next year is the big bi-annual redesign of the iPhone,
however, if history is any indication, so where there's smoke there
might be a 5" fire indeed.
Such a large iPhone
would be a radical departure from everything Apple has tried with its
handset so far, and the ergonomics issue will definitely be front and
center on Jony Ive's desk until the design is polished. Since the
chassis will have to include the Touch ID
fingerprint sensor now, too, there aren't many other options to ease
one-handed operation but to make the iPhone 6 as narrow and elongated as
possible. What do you think?
