The rumour of Apple releasing two new iPhone models in the next few weeks has surfaced again. We now hear reports from J.P.Morgan that suggests Apple [AAPL] will release an iPhone 5 as well as what it referes to as an iPhone 4-plus.

The iPhone 5 is expected to be the big launch here which is expected to have a complete redesign with rumours also hinting at a slightly larger screen and a metalic back with tapered edges.

The new iPhone 5 stands to be based on the iPad 2?s A5 processor or a newer A6 version. We also expect 1GB of RAM to increase memory access times.

The iPhone 4 bumper case seemed to be a convenient way to fix the antenna problem of the Apple smartphone. The case is designed to wrap around the edges of the device and protect it from surface scratches due to lifting the glass slightly off the table.
