Apple's wraparound screen patent could be featured in the next iPhone
Rumours about new phones constantly crop up and Apple's iPhone 5S is no different. For the first rumour about Apple's iPhone 5S unveiling date, while a few sources have said that it could be in August 2013, some are saying that it could go on sale one month earlier in July. This rumour is based on a prediction by an Apple tech fanzine. Other launch dates include June which would allow it better competition with the Samsung Galaxy S4. If the Apple iPhone 5S were to be launched on 20 June 2013 it would also nearly coincide with the anniversary of the original Apple iPhone's launch (29 June 2007).
The iFloat supposedly stops the iPhone from impact by creating an airbag, defying gravity
In related news, Apple recently got a patent for a wraparaound screen approved. While this seems highly unlikely as the next Apple iPhone 5S and more likely as the Apple iPhone 6, the figure does bear striking similarities with a smartphone interface. The other Apple iPhone 5S rumour is about an anti-gravity safety feature called the iFloat linked to an earlier made safety device patent. This rumour is in all likelihood an April Fool's prank as it not only was published on 1 April 2013 it also named it's accompanying image as april-fools.jpg.
