Apple will sell a new set of Bumper cases to match the Verizon iPhone, a company spokesperson has reportedly confirmed. The series will represent just a minor revision, rather than an aesthetic overhaul. The spokesperson has not elaborated on when the new Bumpers might ship, although the phone itself is due on February 10th.
The tweak is necessary to accommodate different button placements on the new iPhone, which are a few millimeters off. These in turn are a result of a redesigned antenna band, intended to serve the switch from a GSM-based radio to one using CDMA. The new phone is otherwise virtually unchanged.
