I took some iPhone size comparison pictures today for y'all.

Let's start in the kitchen....

The iPhone as compared to a slice of delicious cake.

Two pretty thick ones. It was about 3 inches high. The top layer was chocolate and the bottom layer was vanilla.

There's one slice left.. I think I'll go finish it.

I like your wallpaper. Is that one of the standard ones already on the phone?

siurpeeman · Jun 30, 2007, 07:58 PM

good thread. i took these just now, comparing my iphone with my razr, a fifth generation ipod and a gameboy micro.

ne one got any that show how thick/thin it is say compared to a 60/80 gb ipod? Judging by the cake picture it looks to me as the status bar is transparent... am i correct? if so that's pretty cool. I guess they didn't follow verizon with their red bars UI

i can't speak for the 60/80 gb ipods, but it's the same thickness as a 30 gb. i'd take a picture for you, but my digital camera just ran out of battery.

I need to see it next to the cat again to gauge its size properly.

devilot · Jun 30, 2007, 08:26 PM

Love the piano key comparison pic.

localoid · Jun 30, 2007, 08:57 PM

But (most importantly) is the ratio of its longer side to the iPhone's shorter side in accordance with the golden ratio?

mkrishnan · 09:20 PM

Nice pictures, if some of the choices were...well...odd.

I'm surprised at seeing it next to a RAZR -- I had an impression of it being a lot bigger. Which is weird because I also had an impression of an iPod being a lot bigger than a RAZR, which consequently, is probably also inaccurate.

Now can I please have my slice of cake?

P.S. Sorry, I'm obsessed. Couldn't resist.

TheAnswer · Jun 30, 2007, 11:44 PM

Katie...this definitely calls for some iBrownies or something.

I'd say iCake, but someone already beat you to that.

I was amazed with I placed the iphone next to an 80G ipod.

Nope, it doesn't. Maybe the screen does...

Nope, screen doesn't have the golden ratio either.

Interesting... But if not from Sacred Geometry just what is the source of its magical powers? Has anyone checked to see what its cymatic image looks like? A metal tray and some sand… could be revealing!

what the picture doesn't show about the micro comparison is how much thinner the iphone is. it's really amazing, same thickness as a 30 gb video ipod.
