Here comes an iPhone 5 rumor you won’t enjoy. The word from the king of rumors Digitimes is that the Cupertinos won’t be equipping their overly due next gen iPhone with a 4 inch touch-screen as rumored here.

Apple’s mainstream panel suppliers have told the Taiwanese publication that not a lot will change with the iPhone 5 in terms of components except for the following:

  • iPhone 5 will adopt a 3.5- to 3.7-inch panel with a design to allow the bezel of the panel to become thinner and make the screen look larger.
  • iPhone 5′s back design will be changed to a metal chassis instead of reinforced-glasses.

The rumor mill has told us that the much awaited smartphone will be available for pre-order in late September and will hit retail stores is US on 7th October.
