Design Drawings for Next iPhone?
Tw.Apple.Pro has published some design drawings which they believe to be for the next generation iPhone. The drawings aren't particularly revealing but they draw comparisons to the leaked iPhone parts video that was posted earlier this week.
That video was removed from YouTube at the demand of Apple, suggesting the contents were legitimate. The video showed that the break points in the frame between the two antennas have been moved to different locations, indicating that the antenna design has been tweaked despite a very similar overall appearance for the new iPhone.

Apple legal will have these drawings down by tomorrow morning.
Looks legit. 3 band parts instead of 2 suggests 2 separate antennae GSM + CDMA plus Bluetooth/WiFi

New/more separator splits in the antenna band so that they could put more antenna signals. Dual CDMA/GSM anyone?
Looks like the new antenna has four separate pieces as opposed to the previous two:

Nothing to see here folks, move along. Not a major re-design by any means. Just some fiddling with the antenna's placement.

Most likely an incremental update. iPhone4 is an incredible piece of technology, engineered to perfection. It's unlikely to see any dramatic change anytime soon.
This looks to be akin to the iPhone3G to iPhone3Gs update. Faster processor, more memory, tweaks to the antenna to prevent the death grip, and the use of updated/smaller components.
Time is up for the exclusive AT&T contract so dual CDMA/GSM support is likely, rather than separate phones.

Neither was going from the 3G to 3GS.

or instead, the top and bottom of the iPhone will become nothing, and only the sides will be the antenna, that way you won't be able to attenuation the antenna by putting your finger between the black splits/dividers.
wasn't that the issue, by putting your finger on that 1 spot of the phone you joined the antennas together causing it to loose signal?

Makes sense to me ... I'm not an engineer, but I would think putting the antenna at the top of the phone would have made the most sense and reduced overall interference.
Here is to looking forward to a great revision of a great product!

Match the central plate of the video... this is because of the camera, now surface mounted, and the central plate holes in the drawings matching those in the video...
Also the redesign of the wire to the longer one in the video matches the separation of the external aerial.
Also when you look on the video the frame screw positions have shifted so there is a separate band on the top which matches the new wire length...

...but, it should be mentioned that the drawings could have been done by the same person who filmed the earlier YouTube video.

I could see the bottom becoming nothing and fixing the issue but that would still leave the piece at the top for using another signal type.
