Ya but thats my opinion. Its too wide. But guess what, if that was the 5, Id still buy it
That's a pretty sick concept dude. I am far from expecting the LED light on the bezel to show up anytime soon, but seeing it there makes me really wish it would.
I do agree with previous posters that it looks a little too short and fat (chode?). But otherwise nice job.

I think Apple feels that an led indicator would take away from the clean look of the phone and make it look too..ordinary? Also I think 4.3 is somehow too big for an iPhone but 4 would work nice for me.
Another thing, let's keep the traditional home key but make it have a multi-colored backlight for indications

Large screens definitely feel WAY more natural in my hands than he iPhone.
I held the atria a few weeks ago, as well as the HD7, it felt so amazing. Beyond what I can explain.
Too bad the is was jus too "less smooth" than iOS for me.

Oh yeah, just the reaction I was going for. I say what's on my mind. Gotta have a little humor being un_pcNice last sentence there

Haha you knew I was kidding.
No way will it be that thin.
If it was, how would Apple be able to top it? It looks nearly 40% thinner than the current model, and that's just way too much!
Having the phone be 10-20% thinner will be perfect for the 6th model (since I believe the 5th model will have the same body).
10-20% thinner, will be already thinner than any phone out there.
Hell the iPhone 4 is thinner than these new phones coming out (HTC Thunderbolt, Motorola Bionic, etc).
It's also too short. You can keep the phone the same size (height), and still be able to have a large screen. Maybe make it a little wider, like right in between what you have, but that's just me.
Can you mock up a design with the suggestions I made? 20% thinner than the current iPhone 4, same height, width in between your concept and the current iPhone, and a screen size between 4-4.3 inches (do I dare say 4.5 inches?).

The iPhone 5 will be thinner for sure. It needs to be able to claim back it's statement of being "the world's thinnest smartphone". Even if it is only 0.2mm thinner than say the Galaxy S II, that'll do it!
I also think that making the phone shorter but fatter will jeapordise movie watching as the widescreen proportions will seem a bit strange
There surely can't be any additional off screen light indicators, goes against all of what Apple have done and stand for.
I'm liking that idea of a capacitive-hybrid button though, good sketch in all!!

Ya the captive button is what I was wrapping this whole thing around.
If anything, I hope apple impliments something like it, where it's both touch and press.

nice mockup, but i don't think it needs to be shorter nor thinner. much thinner and these things (in your pocket) will snap in half when you bend over. i think for proportion's sake you should keep some of the height. the problem with the iphone isn't it's height but it's width.
I would absolutely buy that and I actually like the proportions of the mockup. It seems like a very efficient way to get a larger screen without being stuck with a huge phone. Although I do think i would prefer it if it were somewhere in between the mockup you made and the 4. I suppose a little more height would be nice. Thinner is definitely nicer though, it means i can get a bigger case
I really like it even though it seems to be too wide, but reading on it will be more convenient and browsing too, nice concept!
