The iPhone 5 – Steve Jobs' final project
Analyst Ashok Kumar has stated that the next iPhone – which we’ll tentatively call the iPhone 5 – was “…the last project that Steve Jobs was intimately involved with from concept to final design”.
A second source also informed CNet that the iPhone 5 is likely to be a complete redesign, which we expect will be the tapered body and larger screen that were the subject of persistent rumours around the launch of the iPhone 4S.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died on October 5, is reported to have had minimal involvement in the development of the iPhone 4S due to his limited time, which comes as no surprise given that the overall design remained the same.
Either way, Apple’s next iPhone announcement looks set to put the hype machine through its toughest test yet and we expect the rumour mill to keep on churning away.

Given that he had been on leave since January, it is doubtful if he had much to do with the development. Seems to be to be in poor taste to try to cash in on his passing away. It's America and the dollar will always rule. Let's hope that they have a second thought before the actual launch.

It is so amazing to see what a great job that he did with this project. The future of the iphone is so good. There is so much to get from it. orlando accident lawyer
