I don't think Apple has run out of ideas, unless your you think it's an idea to copy the android herd.
- This isn't a bad thing unless you start with the assumption that what the competition is doing is better. Personally, I don't want a 5" mini-tab with a grainy pentile display. I want a minimalist screen with as high as pixel density as they can get without sacrificing color or brightness. And for the record, your galaxy nexus has less pixel density than the iphone 4. Who's years the behind the competition then?
- Don't fix it if it ain't broken. The only reason google changes the UI on Android with every major revision is because they never got it right to begin with.
- You're mostly right on this one. They aren't exactly the last company to market with LTE. They did release an LTE iPad in early 2012. However, when it comes to phones, they are a bit late to the LTE game. Then again, LTE coverage right now is limited only to major cities. Also, I just don't care about LTE. 3g is fast enough for 95% of what I do on my phone (email, calendar, small data apps like yelp, etc.), and the other 5% of the time I'm on wifi.
That is strange how the black cover has a larger home button hole. I too agree that Apple is getting lazy with their phones which arguably is their biggest revenue.

Jailbreakers tend to forget that the majority of people don't want to jailbreak. Most people expect Apple to be perfect as is.
I love these rumors. "Here is a tiny screw from the front, left corner of the maybe white iPhone"
Then...the comments are something like this "That screw is boring and Apple didn't innovate enough." or "That screw is even tinier and shinier than last year!" or "I think the screw was photo-shopped, just look at the glare at the top."
Here is the deal with hardware leaks...Apple is a software company that builds the hardware to run it. Hardware leaks are just part of the story behind the total experience on the iPhone. I eat these posts up like iCandy.

but thats what im saying ... get rid of the home button and come up with something innovative and special again. isnt that their job?
as it stands right now, apple is only improving 3rd party additions to the iOS like Yielp (sigh) or Facebook. they are slowly turning iOS into an ad platform without people even realizing. pretty smart from their point of view tho, some extra few bucks into their pocket for getting those partners on board
who says anything about jealbreaking? all im saying is that there are better ways already out, so apple could easily come up with their own solution
I fear this will be another dud model.
The Iphone 4 seems the best to me, better battery life too. Can't see battery improving on the 4S with this screen.
Long is strange. Not a fan of the new Galaxy but they are going with a wider screen which is better for a 4". What's the point in a tall one other than making it a brick phone from the 1980's and looking like the LG Prada?
Bring back those mocks of the aluminum back, slimmer design like the Ipod touch from a year or two ago. THAT should be the next Iphone.
All I see is a BIG Iphone 4?? Time for a proper change of design.

Yes, because every single Android phone is TOTALLY different! I'm pissed they didn't make it star shaped. Rectangles are so boring!
I just don't WHAT some of the posters here are going to do if Apple releases a 4" screen on an iPhone. You know the ones - the ones that said anything bigger than 3.5 is stupid and won't fit in their hands and pockets. I guess they won't be upgrading?
Is there any market research you can point to? Keep in mind that people who will worry with their smartphone preferences on a site like this ARE the minority.
I look around at my family and family that well represent the majority. They want a device that's mostly a phone, but that they can check e-mail on and play the occasional bit of Angry Birds. For those purposes, why would they want to pocket something large?
The only people that I personally know that have anything larger than an iPhone are 2 guys that work as IT systems engineers, and one of them also has the huge extended battery strapped on so he can make it through the day. Not the majority..
with all the millions of different sized android phones, why doesnt one of the manufacturers have a premium phone that is only 4'? all the flagship models are more like paddles. That is one of the biggest reasons holding me back fom anything else. Yeh ive heard the new note is .2 larger, when i picked up a note first thing i noticed was how small it was................
I am curious why the leak is supposedly from China, while Apple just builded a shiny new iphone factory in Brazil? 2 prototypes send out and see which one surfaces first?
Thats the beauty of choice. You've gone with Android/Nexus, some prefer WP7.5, others prefer other platforms. The rest who don't subscribe to your criticism will welcome the new revision with open arms.
Buy what works for you and move on.
And yet people are still expecting a radically different looking new iPhone.
Once again.... You've seen the new iPhone. Stop expecting something different.

Oh, I am all for it, but I don't think Apple will remove the button and has a software only option.
Aren't there special button presses that will invoke a certain action with the home button, example press button X together with home button to reset or something like this.
yet im the only one of my friends and former iPhone users left with an iPhone. see, personal experiece doesnt really mean anything. they were all tired of waiting for a new iPhone and indeed wanted something bigger.
That's what I like about it - constancy. The UI might need some changes, system-wide, because the new iOS 6 beta still seems like a total failure to me. I think we'll all eventually get used to the 16:9 ratio and the phone doesn't look that bad. I am not a huge fan of the new back though, unibody would have been nicer.
