: Though its far from certain, we hope better battery life makes the iPhones feature list. Device batteries have been getting bigger and more powerful, but its mainly been to keep up with the increasing demands from high-power processors, larger and higher-quality displays, and fancy features.

We all know someone whos shattered the front or back glass plates of the iPhone 4 and 4S, despite their touted sturdiness and scratch-proof nature. Some online rumors have suggested that the new iPhones rear casing will trade in the glass of its predecessor for some form of metal, similar to the original iPhone. While that may not exactly help fend off scratches, it does make at least one of the phones sides less likely to completely shatter upon contact. But any additional measures that could be taken to avoid accidents that result in broken screens would certainly be welcome.

No wonder then that our hearts skipped a beat upon . The video, which originated in Vietnam, claims to show off headphones with a smaller profile and a single integrated part that wont fall to pieces. We want to believe.
