Rumors about the iPhone 5 have been swirling for over a year now. Though the iPhone 4S temporarily kiboshed dreams of a radically redesigned phone, strange new images are continuing to leak out. While most have focused on screen size, one aspect which might see a change is the faithful 30-pin connector that has been the standard on Apple mobile devices since the early days of the iPod.

As always, everyone is champing at the bit to find out the cool new details about the next iPhone. Maybe it'll have a holographic keyboard! Maybe it can fly! Maybe it's actually alive! Okay, there are no rumors to support any of those theories, but there is word on the street that suggests that the next iPhone -- the real iPhone 5, presumably -- will be made primarily out of something called Liquidmetal. Before you get too excited, it's worth noting that Liquidmetal and liquid metal are not the same.
