More speculation on the next generation Apple iPhone has hit the net waves, this time an image of a purported iPhone 5 part along with the speculation that the iPhone 5 may come out to play carrying a sliding cover of some description. According to an article over on Apple Insider, Chinese site Tw.apple.pro have posted what appears to be a picture of the 30-pin dock connector cable for the next generation iOS smartphone, with the item tag of 821-1300-02 HF/c1.
According to the Chinese site via a rough translation by Google, the previous rumours that the iPhone 5 may arrive with a larger edge-to-edge display are fake, and claims that the latest piece of mobile tech from the Apple camp will have a “frame shape” the same as the iPhone 4 but will be “slightly thicker,” and have a “sliding cover.”
No real word on just what the iPhone 5 “sliding cover” will offer, whether it would deliver a physical keyboard to the iPhone is unsure, but the same site also claimed earlier that there are 3 iPhone 5 prototypes, one of which would have a sliding keyboard.
Obviously this is all firmly in the speculation stages at the moment so should be taken with the usual pinch of salt, but would iPhone users like to see a physical keyboard finally come to the iPhone?

iPhone 5 Sporting a 4 inch Display Visualised
Ah the never-ending speculation that is the next generation iPhone, namely the iPhone 5. Thus far we have heard that the iPhone 5 may turn into a QWERTY sporting iPhone, may have a bigger camera, and even be a mini iPhone 5. Well apparently the latest is that the next generation iOS handset may appear packing a 4-inch display, and thanks to the guys over at 9to5 Mac, and by way of Twitter user Arnold Kim we have a visualisation of what a 4-inch display would look like on the iPhone 5.
In the image the new larger display placed on the same size iPhone as the current iPhone 4 would fit edge to edge apparently, which apparently no mobile phone can do at the moment so if true perhaps the Apple geniuses have found a way.
Personally I’m not too sure if I would like an edge to edge display and it would make handling the handset a tad difficult I would have thought because as soon as you pick it up wouldn’t your flesh activate something by touching the display immediately, I know I do this even on my Samsung Galaxy S at times.
So what do our reader’s think about an iPhone 5 with an edge-to-edge display, do you think it’s a plausible idea or not?

iPhone 5 May Release on Verizon and AT&T Simultaneously
It’s probably not too surprising but when the iPhone 5 eventually see release at some point later this year, the iPhone 5 may simultaneously launch on both Verizon Wireless and AT&T networks, which would be a bit of a bummer for those Verizon customers who have just picked up the Verizon iPhone. According to an article over on Ubergizmo and by way of Beat Week, apparently Apple has laid “too much groundwork” to no go ahead with a simultaneous launch of the iPhone 5 on both networks.
There’s also mention that eventually Apple will deliver the iPhone 5 to both T-Mobile and Sprint as well as the mention of a carrier free iPhone 5 this summer, although personally I can’t see Apple delivering an iPhone 5 without carrier intervention somehow.
I’m not quite sure where they got their information so for now at least this should be treated as pure speculation, although personally I see no reason why Apple shouldn’t release the next generation iOS smartphone to Verizon and AT&T at the same time.
What are your views on this matter, do you think Apple should push out the iPhone 5 to both AT&T and Verizon simultaneously or do you feel AT&T should get the first bite of the cherry and Verizon gain the iPhone 5 at a later date?
