at least they're getting rid of a glass back. i've been hammering them about this issue since day 1 of iP4 release.

accident rates are sky high with the iP4.

now all the iPhone needs is a LED notification light, and a bigger screen and I'm sold on iPhone 5.

Front screen cracking has always been an issue so why don't they make an aluminium front panel too?

Look, Apple has had multiple opportunities to increase the screen size and each time, they have kept the screen the same size.

That leads me to believe that one person who likes that screen size is named Steve.

His aesthetic is small, simple, elegant, and thin.

Steve isn't going to supersize the iPhone. Simple as that.

Well now Steve is out of the way, perhaps things can advance.
May sound harsh, but perhaps there is something lacking there and focussing on just one and only one model is not actually the way forward, esp when you see how other companies can product a range to suit many peoples tastes.

Take it or leave it, with one model may not be the best policy for ever.

It's all falling into place...

Despite the confused nature of the report, these details come at an interesting time, as the vision of the iPhone 5 has become increasing confused.

Ahh... just as Mr's. Jobs and Cook want it to be...

Keep on guessing!!

Seems to be working for them so far...

Anyone else think that thinner is not necessarily better? Will it be like a slippery goose?
