I think that is the look they were going for. I wonder if that aluminum back is that liquid metal stuff they bought out last summer.
 
I don't like it. The front is identical, still with huge wasted areas that could be used for a larger screen. The back is like the first gen iPhone and the 3G paired.

It's boring and unimaginative. Not good enough.
 
These mockups never seem to come close to what the actual iPhone looks like.

The mockup looks fine. The iPhone 4 looks fine. They all look fine to me.
 
Maybe the casing will be Zirconia. Apple applied for a patent to use it for mobile devices in 2006 as it is radio transparent. It could produce some interesting effects.

Apple like to make the devices as clean as possible. Have you seen those devices that turn a window into a speaker? Maybe that technology could be used to turn the screen into a speaker, doing away with the old speaker outlets.
 
Reminds me ALOT of the iPhone 2G

I can deal with aluminum back, but i do NOT want an old iPhone style curved back. Love the flat iPhone 4 design.
 
Hmmm, could be a nice design. The magic question is, "How does it need to be held?" :p
 
Fail though because iPhone does not need display cover.

I would love that tbh. I think I like this design tbh. I do like the flat back of the current design however. I dont want the glass back on the next one.
 
Hell, it could look like this and we'd still queue up like lemmings to buy it on launch day because we're so pathetically predictable to Apple.
