Analyst Chris Whitmore with Deutsche Bank is predicting that Apple will release a redesigned aluminum unibody iPhone 5 and a low-end iPhone 4S next month, reports AppleInsider.
The 'iPhone 4S' is said to a have bill of material cost lower than $150 letting Apple sell the device for between $300 and $350 without a subsidy. The device is described as a essentially an 8GB iPod touch with a cellular antenna.
Whitemore said he expects the iPhone 5 to be a completely redesigned handset with an aluminum unibody construction to replace the glass back on the current device. It is said to feature a better camera and slightly larger screen.
I suggested a few weeks ago in another thread that iclarified should just add a new section called rumors and put these kind of stories in it. Instead of "sounds like a good idea" the response I got rude and basically saying if I don't like it don't read it or come here. Albeit it was from a reader not anyone from iclarified. But still.
