The front camera opening looks smaller on the white panel. Also, can't see the proximity sensor on the white one.
Got a tip for us?

People die for loyalty. You underestimate what someone will go through to remain loyal to the iPhone. It'll take a long time of zero change before people switch (think RIM).
These are two separate pictures showing one piece, not two pieces side by side. One is showing the front side and the other is the same piece flipped over.

I remember a while back there was a rumor about additional colors. Haven't heard anything since. I would like to see a couple new color additions to the lineup of white/black. I've had both clolors and it'd be nice to try a new one 
- The iPhone screen is better than any Android I have used save the HTC One X. If superior to you means larger, then you'll be excited to hear the new Note is 0.2" larger.
- You can make similar arguments about any UI. Mac OS X is 11 years old and with a broad stroke its "the same". I wouldn't go back tho. ;-P If customization is your thing, well, you already mentioned jail breaking.
- I find it hard to believe you get great battery life out of any android LTE or GSM. I barely get 4 hours of screen time out of my Galaxy SIII on GSM and HTC One X. That's absolutely pathetic compared to the over 12 hours (3 days of use) I got out of the iPhone 4. The best life I got from an Android was from my Droid Incredible 4G LTE, mostly because the screen was a reasonable size and it used IPS technology instead of SAMOLED. Even the RAZR MAXX can't really best the iPhone on anything but talk time. So, I sort of support your argument that the Snapdragon S4 can handle LTE without annihilating the battery, but I can't agree I've ever seen a droid with good battery life in the first place. The nexus is especially pathetic. (Yes, I've used one)
In any case, I find it highly hypocritical of a group that screams choice till the blood vessels burst in their foreheads trying to make an argument against a choice. The iPhone is now and has always been a great choice.
If it works well, why change it, just for the sake of change?
I'm happy with the iPhone's look and interface. Look at how many people are complaining because Microsoft is changing Windows 8 for the sake of change! If something is well designed and looks good, there is no reason to change it.
I sold my 18 month old iPhone 4, great condition and SIM free, for £270 and took out a contact with O2 for the 4S. Sure, I could have waited, but having used the 4S at length for the first time it's actually amazing how much quicker and smoother it is than the 4, just when using iOS. I was one of those 4 owners who kidded themselves on about the 4S through sheer denial.
By the time my contract expires, the "S" version of the new device will be out (whatever name it will have remains to be seen) and that'll be a more substantial upgrade.

Bigger isn't always better. In fact I'm not sure that I'll even consider this Apple design if it truely ends up being larger than my 4S. I will probably hold on to what I've got for as long as possible. But I'd never consider one of the larger Android phones.
Sucks, because I'm usually looking forward to an upgrade.
i hate this home button so much. i hope it goes away and never comes back with the iPhone 7
and meh at still using the same design just bigger. is apple getting lazy now that they are on top?
i wish they would go back to something with more curves, my 4/4S are uncomfy to hold. saw the S3 for the first time out in the wild last week and i have to say, it feels nicer in your hand and its actually not that much bigger considering its screen size.
ill wait for the announcement of the iPhone and decide after if its time to try something new and fresh

looks revolutionary!
good timing as my iphone 4 is running sllllllllllllowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I would recommend a complete restore and start clean, maybe that would solve the problem.
I think some of your criticism is unfair.
I mean the current gen iMac looks very similar to the one released in 2004. Macbook pros have changed very little in appearance over the past 5 or so years. I'd say not a bad thing that it looks similar to the original iPhone. I mean, they shouldn't just change the design for the sake of changing design.
Look at the ipod nano for example. People were probably too crying that it needed a design change, and since they have changed it to the smaller touch screen design, I'd say probably most people have said that apple should go back to the old design.
What I'm saying is that apple aren't being 'lazy' or have 'ran out of ideas' with these leaks if they are to be believed, but they are just sticking with what the currently believe to be the best design on the market. I mean personally, and I don't even own one, I think the 4/4S are the best looking phones out there, they just look stunning.
Do you think they should just make it look different for the sake of looking different, even if the new 'different' design looks worse?
