High Resolution 'iPhone 5' Renderings Based on Leaked Parts

100% fake, has to be.

I'm sorry but number one reason for apple success is lack of fragmentation of apps and os, this goes against it

Design, it's ugly and not like any apple product at all.

Easy to fake, it's not exactly hard to whip up a back like this.

Antenna, i'm sure anyone with antenna knowledge can see a metal back with a metal back plate is not gonna work, they didn't choose the original glass because it looked good.

The fake is based on some fake plans that are dubious at best.

No solid evidence from anywhere that this is from any reputable source.

Apple has made no attempts to stop this supposed leak! I mean come on apple went mad about the iphone 4 and even more so over the 4s despite it being the same design with no external changes.

Apple would never consider sending any spares out before a solid launch date and even then a new design like this would warrant new procedures before allowing anyone else to fix or replace any parts.

If you think this is real then you must be pretty blind and i really wish mac rumours would stop posting such disgusting designs as if they are 100% the truth.

It couldn't be any more "like any Apple product" - it looks exactly like the iPhone 4 (but a bit longer).

This is true.

When Tim Cook recently spoke about doubling down on secrecy - - this was exactly the type of diversionary tactic he was referring to.

Go Apple!

I'll assume you mean the alleged leaked parts, as we know the renderings are not real...

So all iOS apps work on all iOS platforms today without any fragmentation?
Yeah, Riiight:rolleyes:

That is your opinion. We heard the same rhetoric about the iPhone 4 prototype.
Not everyone shares your opinion.

The metal back plate does not extend to the top and bottom where the antennae are located, a different material is used there so that the antennae will work.

So you expect them to continue confirming leaks?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

So, since it couldn't be a spare part, it could only be a fake? Not a prototype or stolen or whatever?
That would be a false dilemma, proving Nothing.

It's MacRumors. They post RUMORS.
 
Based on the leaked prototype back, liquid metal state, and welding patent I'd guess the iphone 5 will be a 'composed' unibody:
  • a lasercut thin section of a stainless steel profile (1 part, no seams)
  • a stainless steel backplate welded to it
  • liquidmetal antennea inlays (the shiny top and bottom of the back)
  • a plastic insert for positioning the inards and spacing the antennea from the backplate

Assembly would be greatly simplified, and colors could be anything (glascoating and liquidmetal out of mold color) contrasting with the stainless steel silver.

True, one piece is stronger than three fused pieces, unless the fused pieces are stronger themselves. The strength in the iPhone 4 and 4S can be attributed to the one piece of glass on the back as well, though I think the frame is more important for overall strength in these models and the frame is made of at least two pieces in the iPhone 4, and perhaps 4 pieces in the 4S. (Also the one piece of glass shatters more easily)

A big reason for aluminum is to decrease thickness and increase strength, (or be virtually shatter proof). Also, the original iPhone did have all of it's antennas inside under plastic at the bottom with an aluminum backing. At least if this new phone has plastic (or thin glass) at the top and bottom, it would have much greater (spatial) area for the antennas and could enable MIMO for the 4G LTE, instead of just dual antennas.

Remember, two pieces of glass increased the overall thickness by almost a quarter! (2mm, or 1.6mm with 0.8mm Gorilla Glass minus the thinner alternatives).

Also, concerning RF capability, sure nearby metal changes the RF radiation pattern, but so does touching the antennas with "mostly water" fingers!

Correct the metal frame contributes to the majority of support in the iPhone 4/s only when attached to the internal metal backplane. It's attached to this plane with screws. The glass back provide reinforcement if the phone lands on its front or back face. That's where these fused parts will get found out as stress will be applied at this point. It's not like the apple logo on the back of a iPad because that's not on a major part line whereas in the leaked photos it is and would not tolerate flex. Gorilla glass can flex quite well but only comes undone when exposed to a sharp and concentrated force. Is Apple to blame that your phone is not indestructible? Use one of the many cases if you want it bomb proof.

Since the frame contributes to the majority of support the requirement for a metal back is unnecessary.

And did you use the original iPhone? Antenna reception was worse than the iPhone 4. I'm not saying its impossible to do, its just that Apple won't risk compromising RF performance after the last episode. MIMO will basically be negated in such tight confines. How many 4G antennas do you think you can get out of these two windows which will differ in signal integrity?

Correct, touching the antenna with your fingers will affect the RF hence the issues with the iPhone 4. That's why it was changed to have a second fallback antenna which will be unobstructed. A metal back will be a permanent interference for both antennas.

This is really upsetting if this is the design, won't be upgrading and possibly moving to android, unless ios6 has intelliscreen built in...

As a current Android user (Had to get an LTE device in order to double my data for the same price on Verizon-which is why I hope the next iPhone has LTE), you don't want to do that. I've had my Bionic for a month and a half and regret it already. Stay with iOS and Apple and life will be much better in that regard.

Sorry but do you bother reading website addresses and titles / articles ?







Let us help you out.... [dons his Sherlock Holmes hat]



firstly this is

The 'rumor' part of the title is clue number 1



Let's have a look at the thread title. [get's out his CSI scanner]

High Resolution 'iPhone 5' Renderings Based on Leaked Parts

Rendering eh? So this must be clue number 2





Ok how about the Article text.. [Miss Marple eat your heart out]

Bryce Haymond of Blackpool Creative has created a set of high resolution 3D renderings of the "iPhone 5" based on the circulating part leaks and diagrams.

Quote:
"There's been quite a bit of hype recently in the Apple universe over the imminent announcement of a new iPhone, or rather the new iPhone (aka iPhone 5). Many of the biggest media outlets have already published photos and videos of "leaked" parts that are supposedly from the iPhone 5 as it makes its way into the manufacturing phase at Apple's suppliers. I thought it would be fun to piece together these fragments to see what the iPhone 5 might look like when Apple makes the big announcement"

So confirmation these are indeed renderings and not made by Apple!! I'm just in shock here!! Congratulations we have found clue number 3...








So yes they are FAKE! They never conspired to be anything other than FAKE because they are as title says

Of course they don't but iOS has so little fragmentation it's not even worth mentioning. When developing an iOS app you only need to support two resolutions -- 480x320 and 1024x768 -- and then supply your app with standard and retina assets.

There's only a handful or so of devices that you need to support: iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPod touch 3, 4, iPad 1, 2, 3. And you can target the current iOS version since iOS 5 has such a huge user base, and if you wanted to catch the minority who haven't updated, or if you want to support the original iPhone and iPhone 3G, then you can just target iOS 3.

Contrast that to Android which has hundreds of different smartphones and at least a dozen or so different slates, each with different resolutions, aspect ratios, CPUs, GPUs, and varying amounts of RAM. And each of those running versions of Android from 2.0 up to 4.0, with 2.2 Froyo still carrying a large user base, and the latest version -- 4.0 -- only carrying a small user base.

The retina wasn't really a problem was it. Non-retina games run on a retine screen, retina games run on a non-retina screen, without issues or black strips on the sides of the screen. It's something completely different.

But I do agree that, if the screen ratio is changed, eventually apps will be updated, but it doesn't cover the fact that all developpers will have to consider both screen sizes the coming years, as the iPhone 4S and 4 and even 3G are still much used, and will most certainly still be in stores for another year, as lower-entry model.
Click to expand...

Correct.

But my point was Apple has only had a major shift once in the iPhone's history... and once in the iPad's history. (Retina upgrades for both)

And while it was a big deal at first and developers had to do some work to adjust... it happened.

Now here we are again... with a 3rd iPhone resolution and screen ratio.

No one said app development was easy :)
 
the rumor is not true

So it appears the rumor about longer iPhone aspect ratio is not true. Otherwise we would learn about it today from the iOS6 keynote and the beta is publicly available.

Good point, I didn't think about the spacing of the two antennas. They generally need separated by at least half the wavelength of the signal. In the case of 2100 MHz LTE Band, this would be about 2.75" (5.5" ÷ 2 = 2.75"), which is surprisingly close to the hight of the current iPhone screen (~3"). In this case it could work. The new (taller) iPhone could have it's antenna's close to 4.5" apart. This would work for the 1700 MHz LTE Band too, where half the wavelength is about 3.5".

But the other LTE bands are around 700 MHz. And half those wavelengths are around 7.5"-8.5", that wouldn't work very well.

In the USA, AT&T uses 700 MHz, 1700 & 2100 MHz bands for LTE, however Verizon only uses the 700 MHz bands. This would be another odd advantage for AT&T at present if MIMO were actually used. (The other current advantage being the GSM HSPA+ 3G speeds are consistently 3 times faster than CDMA's 3G speeds, and the iPhone doesn't have LTE yet. When the new iPhone gets LTE, Verizon and AT&T are the same speed generally for LTE, but Verizon has a bit more LTE coverage. But I wonder how much faster could MIMO really be in the real world? For AT&T?)
 
New video and renderings posted!

Hi all. I've posted brand new renderings of the iPhone 5 based on leaked parts (calling it version 2.0). New longer video, and 47 new hi-res images. These are much improved over the first version. These have many fixes and refinements that bring them much more in line with the details seen in the leaked parts/prototypes.

I've also included a bunch of photographic real-life shots with the CAD models composited into them, to give a feel for the more every-day look of the phone. Here's the link:
http://www.blackpoolcreative.com/blog/version-2-0-the-new-iphone-5-based-on-leaked-parts/

Let me know what you think.
 
So the headphone jack suddenly moved from the left side to the right side and everything turned black and I can't fit an extra row of icons on the screen in Photoshop.... and this person has 2 new iPhones? I'm very suspicious :)
 
I just hope it is not just taller. That does not looked balanced. The width needs to be greater to have a better appearance.

Taller does not help a lot for good functioning real estate.

Please let the leaks be wrong, this redesign is not as radical as going from 3GS to iPhone 4.

I want more????
