New iPhone 5: Slimmer with increased battery power

Athough the Verizon iPhone 4 is hot, our attentions are already being drawn towards the Apple iPhone 5, thought to be due for release in June.We’ve already looked at some new features that may be coming and then had more news that it could have a solar-powered back and an upgraded processor. Now more news show that it could, be an even slimmer device. Desire Athow over on ITProPortal tells of an Apple patent that has been granted.

The patent says that due to smaller conductive nodes which could be placed under the screen, it would be possible to make the next-generation iPhone even slimmer. Apparently this would also give the next iPhone and iPad an improved battery life as it saves power.
