you don't care about new features, could be cause you don't want any, so you took the time out of your life to come and post it on the internet to the rest of the people, that do care?

Its an opinion thread dude read the title:rolleyes:

Come'on are you really trying to pick a debate with me on this? LOL!! Keep it moving man go an enjoy the rest of the forum.
 
I doubt that the next iphone's screen would be bigger 'cause that will affect the Retina display:D, unless they double the current resolution but the ppi by then would be monstrous (nearly 600ppi):eek:. But such high resolution on such a tiny screen is not really practical, is it?
Also the iPhone 4's design is nearly perfect, I dont think there will be much change anyway.
Still, if the 6th Iphone have this design. I would buy it without a second thought. Using either ipad 1 or ipad 2 design for the iphone would be awesome

Judging by the recent release of the new Ipad, iPhone 5 (or 4Gs:D) would have the same spec anyway, Apple A5x, Improved Siri, 1gb Ram, 16-32-64 version, 4g LTE, 12MP camera I guess:rolleyes:

This is the only mock up i've liked and would be spot on.
 
iPhone 5 same as iPhone 4

If they look the same, then its crap. Don't bother introducing a so called new phone. In fact, tell us now that it will look the same so we can end the rumors and wait until 2013 after the Android phones progress with 18 newer models.

How will you feel if on the outside it's an Iphone 4/4S but has LTE, 10mp camera, better flash, A6 duel core, NFC?
 
I love these types of threads.

Conspiracy theories and Chinese rumours.

One can almost feel the excitement building !
 
For those who think Apple won't change the new iPhone

The 6th gen of the classic iPod introduced the iPod touch. Completely redesigned and with a larger screen. There was little reason to do this as the iPods before it all sold well. The new iPhone will be the 6th gen, will Apple be changing its look and size too?
 
The iPod Video/5G/5.5G and the Classic/6G have the same 2.5 inch screen size.

Not the iPod touch...Maybe they do like they did with the iPod 6th gen, release two models. An iPhone with the same size screen and a new one with a larger screen. Or they just call it the new iPhone and change it up. Apple is not keeping this same design and size forever.
 
The iPod Touch is not a redesigned iPod Classic. It is a new product all of its own. At best it can be called a redesigned iPhone.
 
Didn't the iPod classic continue to exist in it's current form? the iPod touch was added as a new product, not a redesign of the ipod classic.... So unless you are suggesting Apple is making a new phone while keeping the current iPhone format, then your logic is off.

How do we know! ? Know one here is Mr Cook, so absolutely no one on these forums will ever know until its announced.

I like the mock up shown here on the forum, but would be just as happy with the same as we now have it.. ;)
 
i got a 4s pay as you go, so im guessing itl last me at least 2 years, unless theres a major reason to get the next iphone, for me the only thing that would make me go out of my way to get it as a must have phone is if there was a way to have logic pro and final cut on my iphone... could be rdp or whatever i dont care aslong as i get it, otherwise theres not much appeal to me i already have a good phone and itl stil be good when the new iphone comes out..
 
Trust me we are not a minority..... many people have been saying that iOS needs a new look.

There are tens of millions of people that use iOS daily. How many of those people are in this "many" that you have talked to? I think a lot of people read other's views on the internet, and assume that this makes it the majority view, especially when said views coincide with their own...

Exactly, most people would freak out if they changed the look. They like it because of the consistency.
 
As for the design of the next iPhone. I do expect we will get 4G LTE, and Apple will be forced to keep the iPhone at the same width or (maybe) a touch thicker a la new iPad in order to keep the battery life the same or better while using 4G.

If Apple is dumb enough to release a thicker iPhone, it will be the beginning of the end for the iPhone brand. Samsung and Android will eat them alive.

iPhone 3G was thicker than the original. As long as the phone feels good in my hands, the thickness is more or less irrelevant to me. Ever since the original razr, phones have been thin enough to essentially be imperceptible in one's pocket
