Although its screen size has grown, some other dimensions of the next iPhone have shrunk, according to ETrade Supply. The firm recently conducted measurements of what it claims is a front panel for the iPhone 5; it notes that the upcoming phone's screen should measure about 4.065 inches, versus 3.61 inches on the iPhone 4S. The panel is about 0.1mm thinner, though, and the Home button has shrunk by about 0.3mm. The area around the Home button has been reduced from 18mm to 15.4mm, and a similar reduction has taken place with the area around the earpiece.
