I love Apple as much as the next fanboy, and I do plan on buying the new phone. But I had to laugh when I saw that we're measuring the holes of the casing now.
Really? It's come down to that? This isn't a new foreign species that we have to document every millimeter of. It's a larger phone, larger screen, and you get one more row for icons on the home screen. That's the news in a nutshell.
Having said that, I'm not sure why people keep complaining that Apple needs to do something "different" with the design of the phone. Why mess with perfection? The phone is thin and elegant with no wasted space. It only takes up the amount of material that is necessary to house the components, and nothing more. That's how it should be. There is no fancy beveling or textures like on other phones. No excessively rounded edges.
A smartphone should focus on the content on screen and the exterior should fade into the background. Apple has mastered that. So I don't know what else people expect. Shooting rainbows and unicorns?
According to your logic, why was "2" skipped?
It went to 4 because it was the 4th generation iPhone.
iPhone (1st Gen)
iPhone 3G (2nd Gen)
iPhone 3GS (3rd Gen)
iPhone 4 (FOURTH Gen)
iPhone 4S (5th Gen)
iPhone...?? (6th Gen)
Then why would Tim Cook say that Apple is
going to double down on secrecy. He also said that they would go to any measures to secure future products. As far as I'm concerned, this is drastic measures. It's genius. We'll just see on September 12th. I'm writing your name down
I thought he was wearing them as to not damage the screen and then he starts scratching the hell out of it with his keys... So I am left wondering why the finger condoms to begin with?
Related to the actual thread: "The New iPhone"
Like the design (excited to see the finished product)

?? = 5 (3 -> 4 -> 5)
And I believe it went to 4 because 4 comes after 3.
Oh, and they skipped 2 because they wanted to include 3G in the name (since it had 3G). This also serves as proof that they don't care about the generation when numbering the iPhone).
There's plenty of wasted space in the front. Just look at the top and bottom borders on the iPhone compared to pretty much any android phone out there.

No.
Count with me:
1st: iPhone
2nd: iPhone 3G
3rd: iPhone 3GS
4th: iPhone 4
5th: iPhone 4S
6th: ?????
It'll probably just be called "the new iPhone."
It's so funny to see people trash the OneX and GS3 because of their size which I think the new iPhone should at least match, but watch next year when they stretch this new version out sideways to make it more along the lines of those phones everyone will say it's amazing...![]()
Only took two posts...... We get it!
I like calling it the iPhone 4XL. Bugs the hell out of my friends.![]()
Thats exactly why Apple is purposely leaking these designs to level and set expectations for the upcoming design.

No, because it was the fourth generation. Steve Jobs literally said that today they were introducing 'iPhone 4; the fourth generation iPhone.'?? = 5 (3 -> 4 -> 5)

I agree about the top of the screen, but the thin bezel to the sides and the bottom bezel serve as thumb rest to keep you from accidentally hitting the touch screen.
That is one of my big problems with some Android devices, that and the lack of a dedicated physical home button- especially on my Samsung tablet.

You mean "The new iPhone" or "iPhone 6". The 5th one came out last year.
