Apple has patented an iPhone without the home button, and the device in question is believed to be the rumored cheaper variant of Cupertino's successful smartphone.

The United States Patent & Trademark Office recently detailed patent No. 8,364,032, which shows an iPhone that has no home button on its face or front-facing camera (a rear-facing camera is included). The device will be made out of a "clear plastic body," according to the filing.

No front camera, plastic body, no home button... A lot of "expensive" features stripped...

I just wonder if they do release a cheap phone if they will come up with a new name to differentiate it from the iPhone.

Maybe aPhone?

Maybe aPhone?

Not a bad idea on the name, conveys a = Apple, yet aPhone sounds somewhat more generic.

Perhaps iPhone 5p for plastic... ok not plastic but prepaid market. The iPhone 5max could have a 5" screen...

Of course, Apple patents A MILLION things. Many of which do not ever come to fruition. No clue about the names.

. The first product offered on the website was the sleek, new iPhone 5 battery pack which was offered to the public for pre-orders yesterday. The battery pack is designed specifically for the iPhone 5 manufactured by Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL). The ergonomically designed battery pack effectively doubles the useful battery life of the popular iPhone 5 while also serving as a protective case.



"We are very pleased with the interest shown in the new battery pack based upon the number of hits to the new e-commerce website and the number of pre-orders placed," said Oscar Hines, President of Massive Dynamics. "We will be pushing hard to add other new and exciting products to the website in the near future, including the first WEB 4.0 Computing Tablet designed to operate on Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android platform."

Company management believes this cutting edge product will give the company priority access to the potential 210 million tables forecast by Digitimes to be sold in 2013. According to the forecast, 70 million tablets will come from companies other then Apple, Inc., Samsung Electronics, and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT). With that size of a market available for a Massive Dynamics entry, management believes this new "next level" tablet can capture a sizable portion of these estimated 2013 sales.
