I had some speculations that the iPhone 5 wouldn't look "Apple" enough, but this confirms my thoughts that the iPhone 5 will NOT look like that. That looks nothing what Apple would do with a phone.


Umm, it looks like a mini iPad. Why WOULDNT they do this? SMH

Why people wasted time to make this ugly mockup?
Because they get lots of clicks for it on their website.

How could this possibly not look like an Apple product. It's basically a mixture between iPad and iPod Touch...

Apple, listen up, people like the looks of that thing. Do not miss out, otherwise some other company (likely Samsung) will wise up and take advantage of your missed opportunity.

Do you really think the masses will default to the Galaxy just because of the way an Apple product looks?

Apples products are dead sexy and it's the user interface that draws people in...

Am I alone in the opinion that the iPhone 4 is a beautiful design and shouldn't be tossed aside yet?

It's just a very high class looking (and feeling) gadget. Glass + stainless steel sandwich = a winner.

That is really nice. It's tough to make a classy, sleek looking phone with a big screen stuffed in there. I see it as a middleground with the common sense to change the weakest parts of the phone, the antenna and the glass backing. People still probably have a **** ton of repairs still going on with the 4. One would think they'd like to avoid that issue entirely with a redesign. And I doubt they want to give the media more antenna fodder. That **** was blown way out of proportion anyways. Give the media an inch and they take it a mile, Apple does not want that. I don't see how they could stay with the same design without the media at least questioning these things and maybe customers too.

Man i can't wait til the 4th. I really like that design and i would rather see the iPhone made out of aluminum because its much more durable then the glass iphone 4

This mockup shows an iPhone 5 with 4 inch display and its dimensions are nearly the same of the iPhone 4. Chinese cases are bigger, so the real iPhone 5 could have a 4.5 inch display!!!

It is wider. Look closer... because of the thickness of the iPhone 3G and 4... they look thicker than they are.

Looks ugly to me. It's a step backwards in aesthetics in my opinion. Hope it doesn't look like that.

Couldn't agree more.

If they want to change it, I'm ok with that. But create a product that looks better than it. This is mediocre by Apple's standards.

yes, i do. Most would remain loyal to apple and buy their quality products, however, there are a lot of people out there who are expecting something big (as far as a redesign goes) and depending on their character they will either accept a slight disappointment and buy the new iPhone 4s or they will take their business elsewhere. im not saying apple would go bankrupt, just that it would lose a lot of customers.
