Agreed. I love my Apple gear tons but the iPhone is feeling really stale right now. If I wasn't so entrenched in all the apps I've come to use, I would have already jumped ship. I really hope Apple is paying attention.

Would they really package this part individually? A few million of this would be a bit wasteful...
I wouldn't mind if the iPhone got SMALLER and not TALLER. I can understand that the phone can't be smaller than the screen, but it can be smaller than it is now. I think that ideally it should be one big screen, with not much bezel. I'm sure it's possible to do if they want to. The home button is not an issue since they can make it much smaller or move it to the edge or something. I just think the iPhone is a big phone and not very practical because of that. It could also get a bit thinner, like the iPod Touch.
If that's the new front screen then I'm heading to the HTC 4G when it's out.
I was hoping they'd get rid of the black borders around the top and bottom of the screen, look awful now.
Why not do something completly new, like design holes in the screen for the earpiece and home button? that would be awsome and look like new tech.
The borders just make the phone look dated, there is no need for them.
This is not going to be a new phone, it's going to be the 3GS with some things that HTC were using in 2009
Wecome to the 3GSS

As we've noted before, it is not unusual for Asian suppliers to offer parts for claimed future-generation iPhone and iPod products. While some appear to have been true leaks, many of the claims have turned out to be incorrect.
That's an understatement!
I agree - I would be happier with a smaller form factor as well. I've always been partial to flip phones for that very reason.
100% guarantee this is the case. This is done for advertising and to get traffic to the website for the person filiming this rubbish
Ditto! Hole does not equal camera. Even if there was another hole on the other side it could be just another sensor of some kind.

These guys have a history of passing off clones and fakes as being real. Rather than go into any detail, their videos are always characteristically vague.
As has been said, the probability of this being a poorly sized clone is orders of magnitude higher than the probability of this being a 4th gen iPhone screen.
One also has to ask, if this were real (which it isn't), how has a repair company got hold of such an integral part 2-3 months before release is even announced. It's possible apple haven't even begun manufacturing these parts en mass yet.

The iPhone section is for iPhone based stories, not a specific theme that iPhone is friendly with.
Umm... it's a YouTube video. Click it and the video plays in the YouTube app.
It's not rocket science.
It looks like a part from this clone:

Some of the pics even show the same hole next to the speaker.

next generation iphone
I just spoke to an old college buddy who now works for apple. He told me that he is on the team that is developing the next generation iphone. The one that is coming after the iphone hd. He said that its name is going to be the iphone 3d and you won't need glasses to view the screen. Supposedly you will be able to switch between 2d and 3d modes. He also said that it will feature an internal hdtv antennae with dvr capabilities sweeeett. Anyway, just thought that some of the ppl in here might be interested in hearing that.

If your buddy was in fact working on the iPhone that's coming out after one that hasn't even been released yet, I doubt you would be hearing about it... even if he is an "old college buddy".
Sounds like gibberish to me.
