And the rate at which Apple sells it to iPhone users, when they want to upgrade from default memory size to a 32-GB model, is ten times the price at which Apple originally buys it. This brings in hefty profits for Apple merely from reselling the NAND flash memory in iPhone devices.

Before the launch of iPhone 4S, a number of news sources had claimed that the back of the device would be made up of metal instead of reinforced glass. But the actual design of iPhone 4S trashed these arguments. However, the same set of rumours are back. Some sources are claiming, yet again, that the next iPhone will support a metal back. Not only that, they state that it will have a rubber material on the sides which will let the outside serve as antenna.
