iPhone 5 to be as slim as the new iPod touch!

I much prefer the iPhone 4's build over the iTouch. Easier to hold and looks much nicer, IMO.

You made it sound like you had a photo or something..

yay, thinner phone, worse camera, yayayay!

Isn't this true? I thought that a thinner phone would leave a poorer quality camera (not video camera). The iPod Touch seems too thin to be honest, I'd be afraid of ever dropping it. I rather have an amazing camera and a thicker phone, the picture quality of my iPod's camera can't be compared to the i4's.

You obviously don't know engineering.

The iPhone 4 camera is thicker than iPod touch. Think about it.

Exactly!

The OP is clearly clueless.

Good to have that confirmed. I always wondered why a camera for pictures had to be thicker than a good camera used for video recording. One would think the opposite.

A larger sensor produces better quality images (other factors notwithstanding).

To get light to refract onto that larger sensor you need a certain amount of focal length. It's the reason that a DSLR and its lenses are so large.

An iPhone can't house a huge sensor. Or, more specifically, a lens to cover that sensor with an image. And if you try to cram too many pixels onto that sensor you run into other issues related to pixel density.

A bigger MP number is not necessarily better "just because".

I wouldn't want a phone that thin. Sometimes bulk is a good thing

If you think the 4 is a brick, google "Bag Phone"

Jebus crust. I want one.
