Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A new rumor says the next iPhone’s getting a big dose of metal on its backside.
Citing “a close source” Boy Genius Report today posts a smattering of features bound for Apple’s next big iPhone, which it says is due next Fall.
On top of that list is an entirely new physical construction that’s a mix of aluminum on the back, and a “rubber or plastic material” along the sides that will bridge together the front and back of the device.
The new construction, which BGR likens in feeling to Apple’s first-party iPhone bumper cases, lets the outside band continue to serve as an antenna, as opposed to placing a plastic strip on the back of the phone as it does with the wireless antennas on the iPad and iPod Touch.
This is not the first mention of Apple considering a metal back in a future iPhone. Citing an anonymous source from Foxconn, a 9to5Mac report in March said that the company was cooking up a model with a flat metal back. Later, in August, while saying that the next iPhone would sport a “smaller than 4-inch panel,” DigiTimes also claimed the back of the device would “be changed to a metal chassis instead of reinforced glass.”
Of course what ended up happening in October was the unveiling of the iPhone 4S, a device that featured number of hardware and software improvements, but was otherwise indistinguishable from its predecessor–including a back made out of glass.
iPhone 4 and 4S owners interested in getting a metal back for their phones have had such an option from third-party case manufacturers since last year. Though that option, along with numerous other unauthorized modifications that require cracking open your device, will void your warranty.
