Do want.

Either way, 50% of the people are going to be sorely disappointed come June.

Yay, back to the original iPhone! It was the strongest, best-looking and most user-friendly design.

I'd definitely pick one up if it looked anything like that. I miss the design of the first generation iPhone.

My IP4 is my first iphone so i'm not sure what the longer design felt like. But this design seems similar and looks to be thinner. I wouldnt put it past Apple to incorporate liquidmetal for this device.

I'll be picking up the next iPhone pretty much no matter what the form factor is. HOWEVER, with that said, there are two key exceptions: if the device gets bigger, wider, squatter, etc.; or too thin.

The design is not bad but it looks too much like an iPod Touch, which makes it look cheap IMO...

I like it. I REALLY hope they bring back the rounded edges of the previous models. I like the flat back, but it's so much easier to pick up and to hold with rounded edges.

Really looking forward to the new iphone 5's coming, and the mockups are jsut the guesses, we must wait till June or July!

I think we can be pretty confident that we will not see a fully enclosed aluminum back on the next iPhone because of antenna issues. A similar Liquid Metal back is also out of the question because it's a mix of 3 or more metals.

If Apple sticks with the current design (and there's no reason to believe otherwise) they could go for a Liquid Metal back plate (since the antenna is on the outside), or carbon fiber (or anything else but shatter-prone glass). I still think 'metal' is out of the question even for the back plate because of it's close (if not direct) proximity to the wrap-a-round antenna.

Other than 'innards', I think that is the most we're likely to see.

Love it.

I love the design. However I doubt there will be a smart cover for it...
