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. Other improvements are increased battery life due to advancement in battery technologies, the printed circuit board (PCB), the touch screen, and LCD power consumption metrics.
