Why are these sizes specific for sex? Is the iPhone 5 going to be the blatantly sexist edition?
Both phones will be the same, the women will say it's 3.5" and the men will say it's 4.5".
And what will you say when the iPad also changes its aspect ratio? What's next? Will the next iPod nano be capable of running iOS? What about fragmentation then?
I'd rather see the iPhone/iPod touch get the same aspect ratio as the iPad and the same resolution as the first iPad. Less of a mess this way.
Going with the "X isn't as bad as Y" is not a good way to look at things if you want to move forward.
The ladies haven't complained about the size yet. They all say it looks a little too big at first glance, but it's a comfortable weight, and fits perfectly in the palm of their hand.
I agree that Gizmodo is a shaky source, but the arguments in the article are very convincing nonetheless.
Fake !
No way apple will release a phone with seams!
Lol remember those guys ?!
It's real and I'm disappointed
Apple will probably tell us why it's better to go taller than taller and wider. Pretty much telling us we are stupid

Why in the hell would the iPad change it's aspect ratio? It's perfect.
And no, it would not be cool if the iPhone/iPod Touch had a 4:3 aspect ratio. That new LG phone with a 4:3 aspect ratio looks ridiculous. If the iPhone was a small iPad with it's aspect ratio and resolution that would be a huge mess.
Just take a look at this: http://regex.info/exif.cgi?imgurl=h...2012/05/tall_ipod_touch_front_panel_front.jpg
Yup, common sense. Was just telling my buddy this in the morning. WWDC will be very telling.
The reason it got shot down in the other thread is because its a tired argument and doesn't make sense.
Apple is not in the business of making a phone that everyone on the planet wants. Apple makes the best phone it knows how for the greatest number of people. It does not and will never sell things to appeal to niche's like yourself.
That sentence there is why no one takes your argument seriously, because you are obviously delusional.
I cannot state this any clearer: Apple makes tens of billions (BILLIONS!) of profit (PROFIT!) from iPhone sales every quarter (QUARTER!). They make 75% of the entire mobile phone (MOBILE - not smartphone) industry's profits. The market is buying their phone as fast as they can make them and is demanding nothing except more phones. If you cannot see that, and still think or hope that Apple will take pity on the few thousand people that won't buy an iPhone because of its size, you are truly delusional. If they change the size of their phone it is because they've decided it is a better phone, not to pander to people who want a bigger phone. That is also why Apple will never make more than one phone size. They don't need to. They sell 30+ million phones per quarter. The amount of extra phones they would sell by having more than one size would be far outweighed by the costs involved in doing so (and the annoyance for developers)
To those who expect Apple to give in to what you want:
They won't do it. They won't make 5 different phones, each with a different size. They won't give you several options beyond a white or black model.
Apple is in the business of making products you don't know you want yet. And such is the case with the next iPhone.

In an argument as to what CONSUMERS want in a phone, why do you fanboys always make it about what makes sense for the best profitability Apple? Are you Tim Cook?

Or more accurately being 100% positive what you DO want, but know you'll never get.
I'd love to hear of even ONE single example / feature of your way.
