More White Next-Generation iPhone Parts Surface as Renderings Gain Publicity

[LYFK]

Just a two-cent opinion:

I gotta say that the design of this iPhone does not look very polished. I know that given material/functional considerations there's a lot more at stake than just looks but for example: The volume rocker, silent switch & lock button on the previous iphones are all so well designed, so thoughtfully considered, and subtle in ways that most people do not understand. AND they look similar to each other. You can't get better design language or heredity than that.

All of the leaked photos show round and flat buttons that have almost no imagination to them whatsoever. I can't speak to their tactile quality because I've never held one of these phones.

However, it still seems a little sloppy, and I don't know whether or not it's because of material constraints, poor choices, or straight up fakery. But I will withhold final judgement for when they are actually released. I just hope Apple has some really pleasant surprises for us all

Worst-kept Apple secret in recent memory? Maybe the Gizmodo thing happened, and Apple just said eff-it, we'll use these leaks to stem Android sales until June?

Just call it free advertising for the Apple core cult, and you get it.

 

[crossifixio]

Not really sure of the design! Not long to wait anyway and I will be getting one regardless since I can get it for free

the new touch could be even better and have an aluminum casing like the ipad.. but considering that leaked one with the camera i dont think its going to change.

But the Touch does have a aluminum case, the basic form factor is like the iPad

apple might do the you get white if you go the 100 dollars more thing again which is why it has a extra piece?

 

[bdavisjnr]

I like their color renderings too:

Beautiful! Apple take note!

 

[temetrepo]

looks impressive in white. might have to get one
oh man
i got my 3gs in Sept
decisions decisions hmmmmmmmm

 

[tribalogical]

I'm not against white... the MacBook looks nice, as does the iPhone 3GS in white...

There's something about the white+aluminum combination that just isn't working for me... maybe it's the rendering, or my own aesthetics... but something about how it looks is just wrong to my eye.

I'll put it down to a matter of taste. I've also learned from experience (especially with Apple products) not to judge it until I've seen it hands-on...

After all, my Apple keyboard is aluminum with white keys, and it looks fine, so maybe it'll work.

man i really want a black back and white front

I still believe that since that "lost" iPhone via Gizmodo, and then the Vietnam one as well, these seems like a well-oiled leak machine created by Apple - like having a carrot available for a horse. Look at all the free PR they have got from this - and its cost them virtually nothing. What a better way to get product feedback on design, etc than a leak - make sense.

That's what I exactly think. I am still amazed to see that so many people believe it's the real deal!

 

[temetrepo]

Time will tell if its the real deal or not, in the meantime we can all still speculate and chit chat about it can't we?
After all this is a rumors site ain't it

 

[videoholic]

Why do I care what color my iPhone is when I put a cover on it anyway?

 

[wesk702]

Makes me come over all nostalgic...

gross

 

[Lesser Evets]

That's the Ugliest Phone I've Ever Seen. I doubt they sell more than one or two of those. I HaVE to go throw up now.

 

[RoDe]

Gosh Sony Ericson is making lovely phones these days. What its an iPhone?

I'm sorry but the design still has me wondering. I don't hate it but it doesn't capture me as well.

I still don't, never will, like the interruption in the lines.

If multiple colors came out I would forgive Apple for staying on AT&T.

hah! i wish i could "Like" or "Thumbs up" this comment.

multiple colors would be a fun new path for the iPhone. not sure it's a good idea though, imagine if they had to replace your lime green at the genius bar and all they had were black and white. they can't even keep the stores stocked with iPads, why would they stock extra green iPhones?

 

[ct2k7]

I only like the original black one, from the designs I've seen.

 

[Yamcha]

finally!! I've always wanted the ipod touch/iphone to be white.. looking good :]

 

[-SD-]

I was hoping for white back/black front again, but the all white design is starting to grow on me. I'm quite liking some of the other colours in the render though. Whatever, I'll be getting a white one.

 

[Skoal]

1. Stupid comment.
2. What is wrong with your shift key capitalising every word?

Don't feed the troll! he didn't get enough attention from mum apparently!

 

[IBradMac]

I'll take a white one. Thank you.

 

[Noreaga1316]

So pretty

put me down for a white one....thnaks

 

[vansouza]

God help me but is sucks...

 

[hssky97]

Why can't we just wait til' the WWDC for the next iphone! Enough with the leaks! When it is announced SJ will go hey ok this is the new iphone big whoop.......SIKE then he announces something better lol, but I dig the new design.

This looks cool but I will go for black one and I really can't wait to have it and I am sure all these people here who are saying it's looks bad and all these people will be the first one to que up to get this iPhone on the launch date
