This.... unless they made it that big for multi-gesture possibilities like a left/right click additional/configurable action
Something changed when they released the 3GS? Really?
old tech, ARMv6:
iPhone
iPhone 3G
new tech, ARMv7:
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
iPhone 5
What's the reasoning behind the giant home button again??
There were rumors of some gesture support being added in.

Because you can... in Photoshop.
Or Apple could focus more on Mac and therefore generate more Mac rumors...
I don't think MacRumors is disregarding any "Mac" rumors out there in favor for iOS rumors...
I agree. Also, shouldn't there be some water mark or something that says "mock-up"? In previous posts it was made clear it was a mock-up.
Well I for one am pretty much convinced now that it's going to be a early October launch.
I have been struggling with my 3G for years now, as an earlier poster said it's painfully slow and only really use it for it's phone functionality.
At least it's all given me time to save up for the top model when released

AT&T doesn't "confirm" Apple's plans. Nor does the Wall Street Journal, Shaw Wu, Gene Munster, etc.
The only people who confirm Apple's plans are Apple managers. Guys by the name of Steve, Tim, Phil, Scott, Greg, Peter, etc.
Nothing is "confirmed."

What do you mean? Its coming to AT&T and Verizon. The iPhone was first on AT&T.
iPhone 4 was announced on June 7, 2010 and launched on June 24 (although FedEx delivered mine a day early on the 23rd).
He was being sarcastic.
I want the iPhone to revert back to the aluminum back panel.
We're seen and got almost used to these pre rendered images of what the iPhone5 will be like.
I just hope it turns out in reality to be as nice.
If I was Apple and the device I was about to launch did not look anywhere near as nice as the pre-rendered shots that were all over the chat sites, I'd be doing my utmost (undercover) to change these images (leak some real shots) so that it was not a disappointment when we see the real thing.

In a way I hope there is a re-design, though I still like the current design.
So when can we expect the keynote to take place, assuming this 'rumor' to be true? I wanna see what it looks like and what's new
I disagree. I went from the original iPhone to the iPhone 4, expecting to be blown away by the speed difference. Guess what? Not much faster at all. Camera is still a closed shutter _forever_ while launching. Text messaging, maps, etc. slow to respond. Typing characters just as slow as ever - I've typed a whole word and then look at the screen to see the letters i n d i v i d u a l l y appear. I still love my iPhone4, but I can't imagine how you could have seen a difference from the 3G to the 3GS when Original to 4 was minimal improvement. Don't get too excited for the 5.
My sister has a friend who works at one of them ATT stores, they say the dumbest things. I already don't like ATT, and it might not be like this at all the stores but I know they say things just to get a sale. I remember when the verizon iPhone was coming, she was like "no it's not" and now they are like "ATT is getting the latest iPhone first, and then verizon will get it 30 or 60 days later" and a bunch of junk.
She works sales but that's what you should expect from sales people. I doubt this guy really knows what he's talking about. He's probably right, saying September to October launch, but that's almost as accurate as someone saying a new iPhone will be released this year or in the next 2 months.
