Fresh Apple [AAPL] iPhone 5 rumors: the iPhone 3GS won't be supported by iOS 5; the fifth-generation model will be smaller, lighter and thinner, and that 8-megapixel camera seems certain, as Apple begins agreeing component supply deals for its next smartphone, expected for introduction in September.
Smaller, lighter, bigger
Speaking to AllThingsD, Orange CEO Stephane Richard (49) talked about the smaller-sized SIM card Apple and its carriers are developing for future mobile devices. Apple had wanted to get rid of the SIM, but bowed to carriers who told the firm it was a "critical piece of the security and authentication process."

That small SIM means the new iPhone will be smaller and thinner, Richard revealed, it will also be lighter and equipped with an edge-to-edge touchscreen, which makes it bigger (in a way). I think Apple may dispense with the physical Home button in favor of a synaptic version to increase display size.
Richard also said good things about Apple, "They just created smartphones with the iPhone. Everybody should be grateful to them to have put such a product in our market."
