Another Report that the Next iPhone is Already in Production in China

Depends on what "begun production" means
Well, "begun production" could mean:
- Signed the deal with Apple, and/or
- Put together a few prototypes with final components to see if it all fits, and/or
- Built out the assembly line, and/or
- Hired and trained assembly line employees, and/or
- Started a trial production run to find and fix bottlenecks, and/or
- Provided a few thousand samples to Apple for evaluation, and/or
- Ramped up full-scale production.
So yeah, Pegatron may well have "begun production" already.

It's not going to be released before the new OS so it's hard to get excited about production news. Just waiting for the Fall launch.
That would be harder to hold as a phone, though. You can hold an iPhone comfortably no matter how tall it is.
Larger screen is about eyes not hands. As far as hands are concerned people manage to control much bigger touch screens just fine - iPad is one such example.
They should just change the little design on it. I think a tiny horizontal line or just nothing looks good

That would make sense.
4x4 looks clean.
4x5 looks messy and very un Apple.
5x5 would work too but that would mean a slightly wider phone.
Hoping they'll implement a way to light up the home button (square), for notifications and such.
Sorry about your broken keyboard. Hope you get a replacement, 'cause using that one must suck even more than reading your post does. If possible.
Exactly.
Considering the amount of 4.3" and larger phones on the market... people seem to be doing just fine with them.
Besides the iPhone... I haven't even seen a touchscreen phone less than 4" in years...
Will MacRumors please stop using BGR as a source for news? Man, those guys have a terrible track record. You a few months ago they tried to tell us that the iOS TV platform were to be unveiled at WWDC...
Wrong again. It will have far more than most Android phones, unless you count only the tiny fraction that runs the latest OS. Word is, all iPhones from the 3GS on will get most of iOS 6.
Trying to work out the psychology of someone who loves to lurk on MacRumors forums to trash talk Macs and iDevices. I spend no time on Android sites. I have no reason to.
Actually, my theory about the Big Phone fad is that it was the only way Android had of getting better battery life: bigger batteries.
It's just as much about hands when you are talking small devices. I frequently text/navigate with one hand. The widescreen TV thing that seems to be the blueprint from most new smartphones makes this quite tricky.
The weirdest thing is that there are people here who will strip out all punctuation and capitalization out of a correctly written post and replace it with this illegible garbage.

Just the length of time I've been running the excellent Motion X GPS. Voice directions, an exorbitant $15 a year. Of course, Google could have given the iPhone their free software too. But the "free" and "open" company were just dumping their software for reasons of competition.
Tell me about it. I think it would be both quicker and easier to read the entire bible. In a foreign language.
Without meaning to sound too disrespectful to them........WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS THINKING? Do you go back and read your text even once before posting?
I don't think they're fools.
They are probably borderline sociopaths. They know they are stripping out all of the standard legibility features of the English language out of a particular chunk of text. Deliberately.
It's as bad as that Boing Boing forum moderator who "disemvoweled" posts. Truly antisocial behavior in the most cowardly passive-aggressive manner. Despicable.
