Why the 2013 iPhone will look exactly like the iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 is the first new hardware redesign of the iPhone since the iPhone 4 came out in June 2010. That’s about 2.25 years with the old design. I’m warning the tech press now, next year’s iPhone will look exactly like the iPhone 5. You’ve seen the pattern already with the 3G/3GS and 4/4S. But why does Apple do this?

This is great news for me because the closest Apple store is currently in Salem, NH (about 1.5 hours away).
