The iPhone 5

Rumors are spreading on the Internet that Apple could be launching the next generation iPhone 5 as early as January of next year. The iPhone 4 has lost steam and potential buyers because of its antenna issues and may be the cause for the early release of iPhone 5.

Most likely, the iPhone 5 could just be a repackaging of the iPhone 4 components in a re-defigned iPhone case and some minor tweaks in the functionality

Though Steve Jobs has offered free iPhone cases to help ease customer infuriation over Antennagate, a hardware modification should really be done, but is only possible in the next generation of the iPhone (iPhone 5).
