Anyone remember how accurate released photos were for the iphone 4/4s?

Are you serious about this? While 9to5 was accurate, most of the 4S rumors were so far off it was ridiculous. So many sites wrote about how the design was going to be radically different with a 4" screen, NFC, LTE, etc. There were mockups and some case designers had geared up with the supposed design.
If the rumors are accurate, then great. If not, the disbelievers are going to be laughing their asses off.

but there were never any actual part leaks for this new 'radically different' design. It was purely speculation.

The post you quoted clearly labels actual part leaks - which is what we are seeing with the new iPhone.

Why are u so disapointed about it? It is a good thing for me since I don't want to be like android manufacturer redesigning their lines zillions time in couple months.

No, don't want to be like an android manufacturer and redesign every 2 months. Want an Apple manufacturer to give us something that is worth tying me over for another year so I am not tempted to jump to android because their 2 month cycle is better.

Well for me I have the 4 upgrade to the new iPhone with a 4" is a big change no matter what! My wife has a 4S and she still want to upgrade to the new iPhone. To us it is still a change!

I guess I just expected more of an upgrade aesthetically

like the jump from 3gs to 4 was awesome! I remember seeing the new design of the iphone 4 and knew immediately I wanted it.

Call me shallow, but I want my phone to look cool too
