Next year's iPhone to be similar to iPhone 4, report claims

Yes, it's only been two weeks since the iPhone 11's launch, but rumors about next year's iPhone are already here. And this time, it's potentially good news for fans (me included) of Apple's iPhone 4 and its slick metal frame.

The current crop of iPhones also have a metal frame, but it's rounded, whereas the iPhone 4's frame was flat.
