Another Likely Physical Mockup of Next iPhone Offers a Realistic Look

[Pokerodu]

Looks Ugly

Hope its a false model. Phone shouldn't have that big of bezel on top and bottom.

 

[FelixDerKater]

Please, no!

 

[PatrickW98]

Fake

It says the iPhone is charging but it isn't plugged in. (first pic)

 

[lazyrighteye]

I feel like one of the few that isn't excited about a taller phone.
The current size is so user/pocket friendly.

 

[Razorhog]

That looks like garbage...

EDIT: There's no way that's a realistic look at the next iPhone. For one thing, I expect the bezel at the top and bottom of the phone to be much thinner to accommodate a larger screen and make the phone look more slick.

And, as other people have pointed out, there's no way apple uses phillips head screws at the bottom.

Then there are the rough edges, no metal around the bezels...

Farse.

Farce is right, but the iPhone 4 sitting in front of me has Phillips head screws on the bottom on either side of the dock connector. Just FYI

I also highly doubt that person has 5 pages of apps on it...

 

[SpeedyRacer1]

Depressive

Off topic... but I feel Apple lost its spirit. It feels more like a corporation and manufacturer rather than an inspiration.

It is sad that the spirit of Steve is not around and is actually disappearing faster than what I thought. That blanket that kept us intrigued about the new invention is gone and now is about the gadget.

The good news is that there is room in this world for creating minds. Maybe Apple had its chance but for sure, the legacy Steve Job left to the corporate world is that creative ambitious people are the key.

I am waiting for the next creative mind that will change the world again, who knows in what field or what industry, but that is going to be something good to watch.

What kind of post is this? Sounds like you're butthurt about a RUMOR.

Looks like a piece of painted cardboard. All the app icons colors/hues are all off.

That's because it basically is.

These folks are taking the rumors and making mockups off them. They have no confirmed info and are gambling on the design. Worked so great for them last year.

Frankly I think the new iPhone is going to be the exact same size and shape as the last two. It feels like Apple is seeing this as a winning design for the foreseeable future. They will change up the internals, the display quality, perhaps stronger glass especially on the front. It might get a tad thinner and certainly a little lighter if they can. But there seems no real reason to make it wider or longer so I don't think they will.

And the folks that call it a fail if Apple doesn't do a total overhaul at least every two years will hate it while the masses buy millions of them

totally fake look at the iOS 5 images,

 

[egibbys]

Too chunky, even on a prototype Apple would never use visible screws! a mockup maybe, but probably miles off what they have planned.

Have you ever looked at the bottom of your Iphone 4S? There are visible screws.

 

[Astro7x]

Yup, looks like the iPhone... I'm just going to assume the last three pages has at least one comment about somebody switching to Android because they don't like how the headphone jack is on the left instead of the right side.

 

[theluggage]

Ok, so its probably a fake (although this is supposed to be an iphone in a case so some of the fugliness could be the case).

However, staring into that blur of pixels inside the dock connector I see:

A butterfly,
A snake,
Elvis
...and a USB 3.0 Micro B socket.

Now that would silence some of the people who've been agonising over the new dock connector.

Actually, it probably makes it more likely that this is a fake...

 

[benaudio]

I don't trust people using Windows and plastic/carton iPhones.

 

[knewsom]

*yawn*

 

[miamialley]

Oh, you mean the iPhone 4s+? Yeah, nobody would be disappointed.

 

[PJMAN2952]

Looks like crap

As Steve Jobs says it "It looks like *****". And from the start of the iphone 5 rumor this design is ugly. It looks like a brick. A long skinny brick. I liked the tappered design when before the iphone 4S was released. This design looks a lot better than the current one.

 

[Elven]

Have you ever looked at the bottom of your Iphone 4S? There are visible screws.

Nothing compared to Phillips screw heads on the bottom, sorry for not being specific.

 

[Tech198]

...

Yep.

But just like Apple would dis-convient all of their customers, by a re-design of the dock connection.

Even though something slimmer, must undergo a new change.... Its bad when you think about it...

A better way, would be to offer an adapter at least.. so previous customers could still use their old 30-pin dock cable with the new one..

Kind of how Apple sells the MegaSafe to MegaSafe 2 adapters.

Have you ever looked at the bottom of your Iphone 4S? There are visible screws.

It would be too easy for Apple to provide phillips screws,,, Their game is to inconvenience as many customers as possible. And they say "Its to protect people from opening it"

The only thing does is frustrate us that we NEED to buy readily available Torx.

Its a universal problem.

 

[Earendil]

And, as other people have pointed out, there's no way apple uses phillips head screws at the bottom.

Apple using 'phillips' head screws? Yeah I doubt that

Philips (+) head screws on the bottom?
Somehow I doubt it..

Philips screws - fake Apple loves their pentalobes.

Too chunky, even on a prototype Apple would never use visible screws!

So guys, I'm looking at my iPhone 4 and it definitially has visible philips screws in the bottom. And unless the internet is wrong, the iPhone 4s looks the exact same.

So, huh?

 

[Rafterman]

For some reason I am still not 100% sold on a longer iPhone. I would rather it stay the current size than it getting awkward long. Or at least if they want to make it bigger, they make the entire device proportionally bigger.

I agree, that long screen just seems so odd...

 

[FearlessFreep]

As others have said it's likely a Chinese knockoff. No pentalobe screws is a dead giveaway. Plus it looks like **** too.

 

[Diode]

I'm going to laugh when the next iPhone looks like this....

 

[hipnetic]

I'm hoping that all of these rumors turn out to be false and we get something more like the rumor from last year (essentially a thing, curved back like the iPod Touch). I do want a larger screen, though. I've never been a fan of the sharp-edged iPhone 4/4S case. It feels "richer" than the plastic of the iPhone 3GS, but the iPhone 3GS was more comfortable to hold.

 

[TheOrioles33]

Not digging the elongated candy bar look.

 

[Akarin]

Regarding the f*%&* up Gizmodo made with the leaked iPhone 4, you'd think they'd stay clear of "leaked" Apple stuff. Especially when it looks like hoax n°1056 only created to advertise for a website (even two, in this case).

Those creators of "leaked" photos will soon be selling ads spaces on their images
