Nooooooooooooooo
Looks like I'll be getting a 4S.....!!!!
Taller iPhone = fake 4" screen = stupid.

I really don't hope it doesn't just have a longer screen... They used to ridicule Android for fragmentation and now this...?

No.. New iPhone is going to be a huge disappointment. I don't want a taller screen. I want it bigger, wider, taller. Where's innovation? Where's Apple technology that makes people think " I can't believe they really made that happen"? I think I will have to use 2 phones. That rumored HTC with 1080p screen seems nice. I just don't like android..
Why not just go 1280x800 and then do the same for the impending 7" iPad. 1136x640 here and 1024x768 on the iPad mini just seems terribly...weak
I'm finding less and less incentive to upgrade any of my Apple hardware so far in 2012. Looks like my 4S will be staying with me for a while longer after all.

Yup, i guess this is another sign that we have truly seen the next generation iPhone through the leaks.
I'm gonna be skipping this and will probably pick out the next "redesigned" iPhone, hopefully by that time NFC will be mainstream.

Apple will call it Retina. Since it's just a term Apple invented out of thin air, whatever they call Retina is Retina.
I almost want to say that there will be a dedicated area at the top of the display for notifications only.
At the moment I find that sometimes when a notification appears it covers some buttons in certain apps im using, and I have to wait till the notification disappears before I can use the app.
Having a taller screen dedicated for these notifications at the top would alleivaite that problem, as well as not cause too much disruption in NEEDING to fill the whole screen with graphics, ie scaling every app.
This would also allow the phone and iOS to be compatible with other gen phones.

Removed the stupidity for you.
Meh. I can understand why the iPad is 4:3. The iPhone being 3:2 instead of 16:9 is a reflection of it being first released in 2007. Time to get with the times. 16:9 is the best ratio.
What about it looks terrible? All of the icons are the exact same size and resolution, there's just one more row.
Instead, you'd rather them change the horizontal and vertical resolution and force developers to re-render their icons, apps etc. etc. so it can have a 720p badge.
This is not a hack of the software. They're discovering an undocumented feature. Setting the resolution to anything else causes an iPad default resolution, as stated right in the article. Why would they make a special case for this resolution if they weren't going to use it?
Anyway, it's probably fake right? Remember these retina iPad graphics that went nowhere?
It still will be hard for developers; this is just the homescreen.

Yep, I'd say this confirms it.
As much I hate the tall phone idea, I guess it's coming.
Apple is making it very hard to want to upgrade from my 4.
-Display is still too small
-Tall phone is ungainly and ugly
-Thinner makes is worse ergonomically
-New dock connector means having to get many adapters.
Advantages are LTE (could be a big deal for you), weighs less, glass back done away with.
TBD....battery life.
Oh well, maybe following generation phone will finally embrace a proper display .

I don't need a mother****ing taller phone. I need a bigger phone with the same aspect ratio as before or just the same old ****ing 3.5" screen phone.
Apple, have you gone insane?
