iPhone 5 Prototype With Slide-Out Keyboard by Apple?

Posted by unlocker under News on Saturday Feb 26, 2011

People from Apple.pro reported that Apple is working on three prototypes for the next generation of iPhone and they claimed that one of the prototypes contains a slide-out keyboard.

June is the anticipated release date of iPhone 5 and three months prior to the release, there are rumors that tell that Apple built the iPhone 5 on three hardware prototypes.

The Taiwanese site Apple.pro has a strong track record when it comes to news about what is the latest from Apple. They reported that: “There are three iPhone5 prototype one is a sliding cover which is the introduction of the keyboard after the side cover.”

As previously mentioned, the first prototype has a slide-out keyboard. Limited information was released about the iPhone 5 with slide-out keyboard. It seems that the virtual keyboard is not enoughs for some consumers and that there is a demand for a physical keyboard. Apple.pro said that the second prototype of iPhone 5 is an upgraded version of the iPhone 4, with upgraded battery and an 8-megapixel camera compared to iPhone 4’s 5-megapixel camera and with no major physical change just like the transition from iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS.

However, if you are a long time user of iPhone and its virtual, touch screen keyboard, you may find the slide-out keyboard unnecessary. However, some people insist that its one of deal breakers. It is something new and interesting when Apple released an iPhone with a slide-out keyboard.

Is it really possible that iPhone will finally release a handset with a physical keyboard? Do you miss a physical keyboard in iPhones?
