I think they had to go to the new aspect ratio... but yes they NEED a BIGGER SCREEN. Not 4 inches. They need bigger! and by bigger they can go thinner!
Got a tip for us?

I actually dunno what can be worse:
- Being unable to see them;
- Getting excited about a bunch of stretched iOS icons and predicting the obvious.
Stretched Icons Revealed
I figured it out... Applying the "Bas Relief" filter (13/3/Bottom) in Photoshop to the screensaver pics at macstories.net reveals a... [spoiler alert] ... If you like surprises, you may want to stop reading--but, you can't, so here goes... It's just the Safari icon (both the icon that looks like a tree and the one that looks like Safari, they're the same). Here's the filtered pic:

Will the new iOS 6 will be out on Wednesday?
Would be surprised if it was as they haven't released the gold master edition yet. I think it will come out the day of iPhone shipments.

At least we know what they all are now and we can relax a little
Anyone who believes this was a conscious effort to hint at a taller iPhone and not just a design choice by whomever was tasked with designing the facade seriously needs psychiatric help.
Will the new iOS 6 will be out on Wednesday?
For developers, yes. Week after for everyone else.
All it shows was that Apple wanting to use its bright color theme it not infrequently wheels out music events, and some bright spark with a few months in graphic desgin under thier belt goes "I know, if we streach out the iocns in photoshop they look like a rainbow!" with pats on the back all round sipping double Frappuccinos
i think the unknown icon is the bottom of the safari app icon just like there are two icon itunes one of which is the top and one of which is the bottom
Pretty much the entire English speaking world will disagree with you there.
Unless they make it narrower, taller is in fact bigger.
New apps or services
Could the two apps toward the middle be new apps, one possibly being that streaming music service we've been hearing rumors about?

Icons reveal iPhone 5 Projector?
I made a little video that shows that the stretched icons could indicate an new iPhone with projector.

Every conference. Every bloody one, gets its banner over analysed.
I remember a few years ago one with a guitar, people were saying hte number of dots and strings represents the software being released and new macs, iphones etc. Never happens.
Clutching at straws, as usual.
ITs just a banner, nothing significant.
