I actually think this is th one we're most likely gonna get since it borrows heavily from the iPad 2 design.
Can you expand about the 'battery technology'? I thought battery technology on a mobile phone wasn't going anywhere for a bit longer.
It felt right for the iPhone 3G and 3GS users. It's just something to get used to.

Well, holding a mini-brick slab (iPhone 4) isn't really the best either in my opinion, but somehow it has outsold all previous iPhones.
My guess is that whatever new design Apple puts out, it'll definitely be beautiful. It's just one of the characteristics of Apple, which I personally love. Heck, didn't Steve Jobs want the internals of a Mac rearranged so that it would look aesthetically pleasing? Tear drop or not, I have confidence that they will put out a fantastic design. I'm sure when you hold the phone, it will fit just right in landscape and portrait mode.
Sorry, a bit of the fanboy got out.

Physically, holding that brick slab is ideal since it is the same shape from right to left (as were the previous iPhones, so I'm curious as to what Reach9 means...).
I think the mock artists just got happy with the shape of the Macbook Air and tried to apply it to the iPhone. I hope that's the source of those rumors. Teardrop makes no sense on the iPhone.
i believe the MacRumors mockup will turn out to be the most accurate...
HARKEN! If you want the closest design inspiration for the iPhone 5, just look at your iPad 2
If that wasn't missing a silent switch and had a properly placed rear camera with a flash, I might like it.

It isn't the best, but it's better than a wedge
I can't see the camera being in the middle like that and I don't think they would make a iPhone without a camera with flash.
Those are so sexy. God. Amazing.
That said, the camera is definitely too low and they definitely wont be going back to a rocker switch, but still a gorgeous phone.
I'd actually say that the best or most ideal iPhone design (and I am definitely biased in this, so, apologies) is the iPhone 3G/S. The curved back is ideal for storing in pockets, and fits perfectly in your hand/s. If it weren't for the plastic back, I have no complaints against the 3G/S design in regards to how it feels in hands.
The iPhone 4... I didn't buy precisely because of the above reasons. It doesn't fit in my pocket nicely due to no curved back. And, when holding it, it just doesn't feel right. I only have two contact points with the phone when holding it: the left side and the right side, making it harder to hold (not to mention how fragile the damn thing feels!). Whereas on my 3GS, the back curvature perfectly fits the curvature of my fingers while trying to hold the phone. So I have a solid grip on it while texting, while browsing, etc.
Teardrop... I'm reserving my opinion until I see it and hold it in person. I hated the 4's design until I saw it in person. Well, even then I didn't really like it.

You never know until you physically try the phone. Personally, it's hard to judge how it will feel in your hands until you actually hold the phone. I'm sure the wedge/teardrop design will somehow come together and make sense once you feel the phone. Or... it might not. Like how I didn't like the iPhone 4's design even after holding it.
I agree. Beautiful mock up. Although something did come to mind...the metal bezel on this reminds me awfully a lot of the BlackBerry Bold 9900. Basically that first picture looks exactly what the Bold would be if it didn't have a keyboard...
Same here. I really like what Apple did with the iPhone 4 design wise. And the Black and Silver colour scheme works beautifully.
