Leaked: Apple Testing iPhone 5 With Slide Out Keyboard? (Auckland iPhone Repair)

According to Apple.pro Apple are working on 3 different prototypes for the iPhone 5. One of these is said to include a sliding keyboard while the other two are apparently more spec boosts.

It certainly would be interesting to see an iPhone with a slide out keyboard, however i’m not too sure it would happen since Apple hate buttons and are advocates for touch screen gestures.

In relation to the two other iPhone prototypes, the source claims that they are similar to the current iPhone 4 but with an upgraded battery, and an 8 mega pixel camera. You could claim that it’s a jump that was similar to the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS, no real design changes, just new internals.

It’s important to remember that these are just prototypes if they are real so may never make it to the market. The only thing is Apple.pro seem to have a habit of being fairly accurate with their Apple news.

iPhone 4 Diamond Edition – Comes In White, Unlocked And With Diamonds

Ok so I think we can all safely say that the new iPhone 4 design is certainly a step up from the original iPhone and iPhone 3GS when it comes to its design. But just in case it wasn't flashy enough for you, or you really really wanted a white iPhone 4 (which you wont be able to get for a while) here's the iPhone 4 Diamond Edition for you.

Stuart Hughes has gone all out and has invested diamonds big time in his latest creation. The whole surrounding frame is encrusted with approc 6.5 carots of top quality diamonds, individually set with sparkling gems.The rear section houses beautiful solid Platinum and the Diamond Apple logo.

Of course it's unlocked, which is the least I would expect when forking over £12,995 or $20,000 for a iPhone and it's the 32GB model. It even comes with a case made from real Ostrich foot.

You better be quick though because it's a limited edition run of just 50 units and i'm sure they'll be sought after at that bargain price.

Leaked News: Apple Working On Mini iPhone For US$200? (Auckland Apple iPhone 4, 3GS Repair)

Bloombergs authors Peter Burrows and Greg Bensinger have reported on anonymous sources revealing that Apple has apparently developed a prototype iPhone model that is cheaper and one-third smaller than the current-generation iPhone 4.

Could this be the iPhone 5? Or some sort of iPhone Nano to squeeze into the market?

They claim that this smaller iPhone could be priced as low as $200 without a contract hoping that it will help Apple compete with the huge surge in Android sales over the past year or two.

One version would be cheaper and smaller than the most recent iPhone, said a person who has seen a prototype and asked not to be identified because the plans haven’t been made public. Apple also is developing technology that makes it easier to use the iPhone on multiple wireless networks, two people said.

The main reason while Android is doing better than Apple at the moment is the price gap, any iPhone is still much more expensive than an Android smartphone in general.

If it was priced at just $200 for a contract free iPhone, this would allow carriers to offer subsidies selling the phone for free.

Whether or not this iPhone could come to light still remains unseen, it’s not clear if it will actually make it into production at this stage.

While Apple has aimed to unveil the device near mid-year, the introduction may be delayed or scrapped, the person said. Few Apple employees know the details of the project, the person said. Apple often works on products that do not later get released.

The report also mentions that Apple are working on another iPhone, quite possibly the iPhone 5 which will on both CDMA and GSM networks, making it a more world wide universal device which could be used on most networks, as well as the idea of in built sim cards

We did hear rumors of an iPhone Nano years ago, but that never came to light, I wonder if this is just another one of those?
