[From Hans] Hans emailed in with this link and it seems that Apple have developed a new design for the iPhone which is smaller flip design,
electronista is showing the deets on this one with some mock up images. "Apple has developed a technique that could allow for a smaller iPhone with all the controls but half the size, according to a recent but not yet fully public US Patent Office filing. Described as a "dual sided trackpad," the primary variant on the invention would have a translucent cover with a capacitive, multi-touch trackpad that accepts input on either side and can activate controls depending on the pad's position."
electronista after the jump for the full read.
