Sorry but the iPhone 4S, with it's redesigned antenna band, only proved that the iPhone 4's antenna band was a bad design.
If this was an issue, the current iPhone would be unusable with anything plugged into the dock connector...
I would really like to see an entirely new design, i.e. not this. I'm sure if this is it, they'll claim they'd found the perfect shape for your hand with the 4 and 4S and this is only improving upon it. It kind of makes me feel like I'm buying he same thing again.
More like recycled rusty old baked bean cans
Looks like an abs 3d print that's been poorly finished. out of a machine like this:
http://www.dimensionprinting.com/3d-printers/3d-printing-faq.aspx
they have less-than perfect, but pretty good dimensional stability, resolve detail similarly, and leave a grain structure. could also be a plaster print that was worked a bit more and then spray painted.
it makes sense that this would be a mockup for creative design, but not for fabrication design.
Interesting that the front-facing camera isn't even centered above the speaker like it is in previous leaks.
Not gonna lie, I prefer the overall shape of the Galaxy S3 over the shape of the iPhone 4/4s. As far as build quality, I'm sure the iPhone blows it out of the water. But I do like the curves that the Galaxy S3 has...

Hideous. 4" screen or not, I will NOT be buying one if it looks like this (which I doubt it will).
The iPhone 4 did have a flaw it in...which they fixed with the 4S.
Did you forget about all this?
just got the new galaxy in as a test device at the office. It's the first time i've picked up a phone and been blown away and thought...man this may replace my iphone (and i was an early iphone adopter)
At first, I didn't like the idea of the headphone jack on the bottom. I still don't like it, however, I have switched to Bluetooth headphones, so it's not a big deal to me.
fake! apple would never release an iphone with seams!!!

You know, the screen rotates when you turn the device upside down
No, that's the iPad.
And even if you could that would be pointless since the home button would be almost inaccessible one-handed. Not to mention the awkward moments where you would answer your phone with your ear next to the home button.
I have to agree with you. When you buy a new product, whether it's a pair of running shoes, a car or a new phone, you want it to be different, with a new look, new features but mostly, just something that doesn't resemble what you have now. If the new iPhone becomes what all of these mock-ups have been pointing to, it will be interesting to see the reaction. If you are loyal to Apple, then I guess you will buy the new phone, but will some go to Android or elsewhere?
It just feels like the time for Apple to bring out something "new" in functionality and design.
Wow this phone is going to look like crap, they needed to make it at least a 1/4" wider rather than just stretching it out.
So you only care how a phone looks, not what it does?
You'll only feel that way until you use it.
Maybe its just me, but I just have a gut feeling for some reason that the next gen iPhone wont be unveiled until sometime early 2013. Heaven knows why I think it, its just my instinct although I'm possibly wrong. I know we have until October to find out, but meh.

Not by default, unless the developer explicitly programs it that way. The default for the iPhone/iPod touch interface is to support portrait mode only.
BTW, the Music (iPod) app does not rotate upside down either.
what "mockups" ?....... the actual physical phone leaked and was shown off in a video. Apple is not gonna pull some completely different design out of nowhere. we all have seen what the phone looks like.
Apple is in a position where they don't need to make a radically different phone every time. The iPhone 4 still looks amazing and this next-gen is also looking great.
