14 DAY TRIAL // There’s a rumor floating around that the next batch of iPhones from Apple will arrive in a flurry of colors. And the company has just hired a person who is fitted for the job.
Analysts Peter Misek of Jeffries and Brian White of Capital Markets issued a couple of investor notes recently, saying that their industry checks seem to point to a multi-color iPhone in the not-too-distant future.
Apple is believed to be working on a new “S” iteration of the iPhone 5 for this year, and possibly even a second iPhone that’s either cheaper, or has a bigger display. Or both.
Either way, the iPhone 5S is expected to launch with multiple color options for customers later this year.
A couple of reports surfaced this week stating that Apple had opened a job for an Engineer with expertise in anodizing processes. The company is known to be using anodizing to give its iDevices some pop.
That position has already been snagged up by someone as it can no longer be found listed on the company’s website. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out where all this is going.
In all fairness, the new recruit is most likely already working to give Apple’s next iPhones some much needed color.
Pictured above is the work of Anostyle, a company which offers a custom color service that allows you to change the color of your iPhone 5 or iPad mini.
AnoStyle uses the same anodization process to change the color of your current iPhone or iPad to a color of your choice.
And that’s pretty much what the next generation of iPhones and iPads will look like. Only this time, you won’t have to send your device to a third-party to have it done.
This year, you’ll most likely be able to pick one up readily colored straight from Apple’s shelves.
