New anodized colors costs Apple almost nothing in R&D time, so it's an easy one and entirely plausible. Larger screen on the 'S' model? Won't happen.

Remember when Apple used to make computers? 
I love the iPhone 5 like the next person - but it is getting a bit too iOS heavey (though cannot wait for a retina iPad mini). What about the MacPro. Limping along. Those were the days when the first of these with a G5 chip were not allowed to be exported to certain countries as they were supercomputers capable to simulate atomic bomb explosions (at least that's what Apple said).

I know it is only the 5s, but would love be shocked with a redesign, and not just a minor hardware update with different colors.
I see people asking for bigger phones..and that is the number one thing that I don't want. I don't want a phone bigger than the current width of the iPhone. It fits perfectly on my hand.
Sure I understand that some people want a bigger screen. But not everyone wants humongous phones. And if they do make a bigger phone, they better make a 2nd screen option. If the only option is a bigger one, I probably won't get one.

I think if they made it like 4.3 and not just longer it would feel better in hand. You say the current width is perfect until you try something else when it could fit better in hand while making it larger.
it is anodized like from companies such as anostyle

the verizon iphone 5 is unlocked for use on gsm carriers. you wont let lte but still has the option of their hspa network
I would love a red iPhone. This mockup by mendmyi looks superb.
If they go with pastel colours than I'll likely pass.

So that's why no one buys cases and stuff

I'd take the green one
Agh.
I just hope they provide decent color options, the pastels and neons that they have used in the past will not fly on an iPhone.
Black/slate
White/silver
(RED)
Why not? I mean, it's all about options. Cannot go wrong with options, IMO.

Options are great.
Just saying, I hope the current colors offered for other iDevices do not transfer over to the phone - they're quite atrocious.
Simply, better color options
I've always liked purple. I'd buy the purple one in a heartbeat, and my wife would love the red one.

Believe it or not there are actually other sections here that aren't about the iPhone or the iPod.
It is still called MacRumors, not iRumors.
I just found it curious as it seems pretty obvious with the all of the advertising, both in media and within stores whenever a new Apple product is released.
Yeah, we don't do media manipulation in this household. No commercial TV with adverts for example & we download the programs without adverts to watch if there is something we really want to see.
On the web, we all use AdBlock.
We homeschool our kids, well the two 14 year old twins now, as the eldest is past that. Have spent a bit of time explaining the purpose of advertising/propaganda in regard of manipulation of the human mind over the last few years with them. Not in a tinfoil hat wearing kind of way, but in a way to allow them the choice not to be invasively manipulated if they so wish.
