iPhone 5 may release with reshaped batteries

There will be many owners of the iPhone 4S currently downloading the Corona Jailbreak now it has gone live.

Apple hasn’t put the technology into their handset because the current chips are not only too large, but also put too much strain on the battery.

However, Bloomberg reports, “Apple is bringing LTE to the iPad before the iPhone because the tablet has a bigger battery and can better support the power requirements of the newer technology.”
