Thanks TenoBell. I missed the explanation on the first read. I'll go back and check it again.
EDIT: TenoBell, it must be my lack of sleep catching up with me, but I still don't see the explanation you've tried to direct to. I see where he makes reference to needing more space, but is that thickness?
"you?re actually referring to the GSM/UMTS and the CDMA/CDMA2000 mobile telecommunications technologies. There are 4 GSM bands, 2 CDMA/CDMA2000 bands, and 5 UMTS bands that would be needed to make the current iPhones into one phone. Then you have technologies over those technologies to deal with."
"Qualcomm now has Gobi, which is the only option I know of that allows for the communications options and bands that the iPhone would need, yet I don?t know of a single phone that uses this chip in it?s entirety so why would be assume the smallest cellphone would have had this capability long before their competitors with much larger volume devices?"
You can?t use the quasi-?world mode? phones from BB that are locked to Verizon but also have a crappy, single UTMS radio for Europe because that is 3 less than is currently needed for consumers.

I saw that. But your clip still doesn't indicate if the additional volume needed means thicker, or wider/longer, or both.
Both? There are 3 dimensions for volume. Length, width and height. You should know this! Why don?t you don?t this?!
Apple can alter 1 or more of these to make the overall internal space greater. They could even lessen the size of other components, including the thickness of the shell to allow for more internal space. Note that increasing one dimension does not mean that the overall volume is greater as you?d have to determine the other dimensions as well, not to mention any curves that alter the overall design.
Why would you assume I don't know the definition of volume? That's an odd reply since knowing what the word means doesn't answer the question posed.
Your post didn't address in what way the volume would need to increase. My question was fairly simple. Did thickness need to be increased because the necessary chipsets were currently all thicker, or would they install laterally, thus needing a wider and/or taller shell. If you don't know then not a big deal. If you do then just say so. Yelling doesn't make your post more useful or informative.

And I appreciate the clearly stated answer. So Apple could increase the width and/or length to accommodate the necessary chipset(s), with perhaps the added benefit of a slightly larger display. That might be a good change. Or they would have to make it thicker, which might not be as acceptable. Got it.

Because both means two which is not the dimensions of volume...
"doesn't indicate if the additional volume needed means thicker, or wider/longer, or both."
Both in this case clearly refers to "thicker" and "wider/longer", a combined term I use in the original sentence. Geez, let's discuss real issues rather than trying to find a disagreeable word that you've obviously (and perhaps intentionally) misunderstood.

Solipsism addressed that in his post.

I did answer it.
