Another Prototype of the iPhone 5

Im very much looking forward to a new iPhone - having had the iPhone4 for two years I just hope its a little bit more durable (we've had three cracked screens across two lines in two years lol). A better battery for the LTE, and slightly bigger screen, will do us just fine :)

I agree with you on this. I really do hope that there is a redesign that involves width as well as height. I am sure that Johnny Ive will make something extremely aesthetically appealing! I liked my iP4 well enough but without a case it always felt too delicate and small.

Without a case, it is too delicate. I hope the next phone is a bit more rugged. I'm tired of having to feel the need to baby my phone.

You actually like that design? It looks like something Sony would make.

ahahahahahahahahaha... that was funny!!!.. :D

Don't you think that Apple released those photos of the iPhone 5 on purpose to get our attention somewhere else?... maybe Apple will come up with something totally new and redesign.

I'm hoping there will be a completely new design. And I'm really hoping it doesn't look like this.

i think that they were considering that, and they scrapped it, which is why its been leaked, and that its going to look completely different. or at least, not that, lol
 
I hope that on the Iphone 5 it use a strong glass that doesn't get scratched easy and there is no glass on the back of the Iphone.

I hope that this Iphone 5 has a HD screen along with a improved battery, I hope the battery can last like 2 or more days without recharging.

What makes you think that?

Ask those who have the iOS 6 BETA if there is anything that looks like it won't work on the 4S. On the apple website it looks like everything in iOS 6 works on the 4S, there is nothing new that requires a new device with improved hardware. That makes me think the 4S will be the top of the line iPhone until at least next summer.
 
These are the things I would love to see in the new iPhone 5

iPhone 5
- Bigger screen (4" would be perfect)
- Complete redesign
- More RAM
- More battery time
- 10mp camera
- 5mp front camera
- 4G speed (LTE)

So you also think that the iPhone 5 will come out with an all new iOS... maybe iOS7

iPhone 5
- Bigger screen (4" would be perfect) 99% sure this is going to happen.
- Complete redesign Possibly. Maybe a tweaked iPhone 4/4S
- More RAM Most definitely
- More battery time Most likely.
- 10mp camera Possible, but the phone would have to get thicker.
- 5mp front camera No. That's not going to happen. Even the Macbook Pros and Thunderbolt Displays don't have this kind of high resolution front facing camera. 2MP most likely.
- 4G speed (LTE) This has to happen. LTE has been around for a year now, it's time to put it in the iPhone.

My opinions are in bold.

iPhone 5
- Bigger screen (4" would be perfect) - Doubtful. I think it will stay the same.
- Complete redesign - Doubtful. Maybe slightly tweaked, but not a redesign.
- More RAM - Likely, with an updated processor chip.
- More battery time - Likely, to compensate for 4G/LTE.
- 10mp camera - Doubtful.
- 5mp front camera - Doubtful.
- 4G speed (LTE) - Likely. It would be stupid of Apple to release another 3G phone.

My opinions in bold.

Thinking realistically (and knowing that any iPhone Apple has released will sell well, even with just 1 or 2 key changes because they've always left people wanting more), I think the biggest changes in the next iPhone will be 4G/LTE, better battery, updated processor, and iOS 6 (with the biggest feature disabled in older iPhones, ala Siri with the 4S - its already been announced that the turn-by-turn GPS will not work on the iP4 and lower). Those changes will be enough for people to upgrade.

I'll be upgrading just for the 4G/LTE, as will many other people. The super smart business/marketing/development people at Apple know this.
 
I think the 4s is a great phone. I am hoping for a larger screen, LTE and a new look. If the look doesn't change I won't cry, but since I look at my phone alot, its nice to change it up. I was hoping iOS 6 would change it up on the software front. Nice features but would like to see something different for the springboard

Nooooooooo
 
I just want them to announce the new iPhone already. I hope there's not another 4s situation with delayed release as I'm upgrading this year! If the release is October, when should we expect the keynote?

...and you could have asked anyone who had the iOS5 beta if they saw anything that didn't look like it'd work on the iPhone 4 and get the same answer- but we know that a 4S was released.

If there's something extra special about the next iPhone, it wouldn't be hard for them to simply not put it in the current iOS 6 beta.
