iPhone 5 may be significant redesign after all
Beliefs that the next iPhone would be a major redesign gained support Tuesday after a fresh September window to make it public; BGR understood it might schedule an event in early-to-mid August.
The shipping product might arrive at the end of that same month, according to the tip.
What that design would look like wasn't mentioned but was previously identified as a teardrop-like shape. Some rumors have pointed to a larger, edge-to-edge screen. Others have pointed to a cross between the two.
The tip has partly been contradicted by Apple itself, which doesn't see iOS 5 shipping until the fall. Most every iOS device has been accompanied by a new software release and would be unlikely to ship on iOS 4 just before the upgrade was due to arrive.

can't visualize...
teardrop-like shape? I know what a teardrop looks like... but I can't see its shape being used for a smartphone...
