Could this be the end of antenna-gate?
After releasing two generations of iPhones with exactly the same form factor, Apple is expected to show off a new chassis design, and possibly new materials, in its sixth-generation smartphone. Korea IT News reported on Wednesday that the iPhone 5 is likely to be housed in Liquidmetal, which is the commercial name for an alloy of titanium, zirconium, nickel, copper, and other metals. It would make the outer surface of the phone smooth like liquid, hence the name. This is quite impressive, but Apple will need to ensure a change in material does not compromise the performance of the device. They have already had performance issues with the antenna positioning on the last two models, so they should at least fix that up this time round. In other news, Facebook unveiled changes to its terms-of-use document yesterday, tweaking earlier drafts in an apparent effort to ease users' concerns about privacy and how their information is used.
