So no discussion of the latest rumor? Here's the link to frontpage article: http://www.imore.com/2012/05/03/iphone-5-rumored-4inch-screen-smaller-dock/
Rumors of a return to the metal backplate have been around for years, probably since the day after Apple dumped the original iPhone?s casing for the plastic of the iPhone 3G. Having metal-on-glass, the inverse of Apple?s current glass-on-metal aesthetic, looks a bit odd. But so did the iPhone 4 design when it first leaked. Likely radio transparency will dictate the final composition.
Anyways, i see the metal backing and think wireless charging. This would mean a new accessory like the Palm Touchstone (but probably designed better). Hopefully magnetic as well.
So..does a taller iphone help in this regard if you envision the touchstone like dock? With any hope, along with new iOS 6 maps/nav, this could make in car use much better. The first thing i did with touchstone was put in car.
