Hands On with a Physical Mockup of the iPhone 5

You know the first one wasn't all metal either. In fact it had a black plastic bottom on the back that really did not fit in and looked really ugly imho (so it really amuses me you are wishing for that instead). At least on this new design:
1. It's symmetrical rather than just one different color on one side
2. it is quite possible they will do the duller black metal with the black glass that one post a while back showed that actually looked nice. I agree I'm not too enthused if they make the metal silver and bright with black glass ends. But I still think it looks better than the first cause at least it's a symmetrical design).
And they might actually be doing that (a previous rumor showed a design like you say). Thing is, this is a model by a case manufacturer, they dont' need it to be accurate by colors, just by dimensions
. So I wouldn't say the look is set in stone (at least for stuff like colors or even materials) by this model make up they made.In fact the mock up I saw of it being a dull black in the middle and the shiny glass black at the ends I thought looked better than just one solid color along the back. Though I would prefer one solid color to making the middle silver and the ends black like the mockup here has (I do think that is ugly).
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Seriously... the new iPhone looks awesome and it will break all sales records again.
Having colors like that only looks fine cause they show it with similar colors on the screen. You really don't want anything but a nuetral color surrounding the screen otherwise when you have a screen that constantly changes images the surround of the screen will take away/clash/distract from the images on the screen (and I imagine most people want to focus on the images on the screen). This isn't like it's a static picture where you can find a good color to compliment the picture for the frame. The picture will keep changing and you can't guarantee cause the color goes with one image it will go with another.
Absoltuley agree. I can't believe the p*ssing and moaning going on about the two-tone and the antenna bands.
There's nothing odd or wrong with the design. Looks fine.
Besides, most of the whiners will probably be putting it in case, so moot point.
To get people excited over a steaming pile ***** with an apple logo.
As much as I love apple products this is butt ugly.
Millions of people will be saying the same thing and will still line up to buy one. Every company on earth dreams of having customers who will blindly buy anything they produce.
The lone voice of reason.
I've never lined up to buy any Apple (or other) product and i certainly don't intend to start with iPhone 6.
Now there's some smart thinking. Buy your phone based on how it looks rather than how it performs.
Those look like they came from Toys R Us.
To each their own. I won't be contributing to those sales records though.
I've played with a Cyan Lumia and was happy with it overall.
Smart thinking, assuming you know how a user is selecting their next device. I've used Windows Phone and wouldn't be considering a Lumia 920 if i wasn't happy with performance of the OS. The device also has decent specs.
1.5GHz DC CPU
1GB RAM
32GB storage
8MP Cam
4.5" HD display
They may look like they came from Toys R Us but to me they're far more interesting than a glorified iPhone 4S with two-tone colour.
Whats wrong with that Nokia phone? Or do you thrown up just because it isnt apple branded?
This iPhone is an evolution of an award winning and sales monster design. It seems to fix a few of the nuances of previous generations such as the speaker and microphone grill is always getting dirt in it which can affect the reliability of things such as Siri, the new design should help alleviate the problem. The rear was always subject to breaking, again the metal should prevent this. When you have the phone in your hand, you have it the right way up. However when you put it in the pocket it goes in upside down. Moving the earphones to the bottom means you do not have to rotate the phone when removing it from the pocket.
Although I think the odds are 1 in a million that what I'm about to say will turn out to be true, I'll say it anyway..
What if Apple is pranking everyone with these "leaks?"
I, for one, will be laughing my ass off if these parts were leaked intentionally and aren't completely representative of the final iPhone 5 design!

Totaly agree, I think are parts of the iPod Touch prototype mounted on a intentionaly custom build case.
so....what are you looking for a round or square phone? iPhone is a brand and why would they move drastically away a popular design?
This reminds me of last year before the 4S came out. So many people were convinced that it would have that ugly ass teardrop shape that a few case manufacturers started producing cases for a non-existent phone.
It is ugly. Oh... and if you see my sig, I am currently using a Galaxy S III.
really don't mind the nokia's design look. Just not ready to commit to a windows phone yet. That being said, I think that the wp7 is better the than android. Only a matter of time before everyone catches on.

Tastes differ but between "throwing up" and "dont liking it" there is a vast difference.
Compared to the S3 I like the nokia better, the S3 is very bland .
