Showcase
Those designs are from Contour Design, it's for their piece of **** 'Showcase".

Or should I call it "scratchyourphonecase"
you would have to look at their ipod touch version or iphone 3g to see, but its theirs.

Knowing some rumors about their business I wouldn't be surprised if they were paying someone in china for inside info. I work for a company that works with them, and holy crap they are idiots. The only reason Apple hasn't caught them yet is because they know to tell Apple they have no idea what future Apple products will look like.

I guess we all have a different definition of "design," and some of those definitions are wrong.
Are there even curved phones like that on the market? With so many apps for ANY phone being used in landscape, I'd think there wouldn't be. Needless to say, the next iPhone won't have a curved back. It just wouldn't make sense for holding it horizontally.
Bollucks
Calling it, BS!
Anyways, I really disliked the older designs. I never actually owned an iProduct (except for iMac) up until the i phone 4. I thought the curved, slopey look was weird and ugly.

quite the opposite. I think that the sharp-edged design of the iPhone 4 is ergonomically bad to hold. I would be surprised if the iPhone 5 had the same design.
I disliked the iPhone 4 design, ever since the prototype was leaked.
every other android phone has a curved back, i think its actually a requirement from google before it can be considered as a "google phone". G1, the HTC one and that new Samsung one for example
How did you hold your original, 3G, and 3GS iPhone horizontally?
I think you're just holding it wrong.
Sorry guys this is not the ipod touch 5g design.
ipod touch 5g is retaining same design and likely no larger screen.
This design is either fake or iphone 5. I'm leaning towards fake since iPhone 4 is so splendid but with Apple you 'll never know what will happen.

Hmm, I don't mind the iPhone 3GS design, it's OK. Everyone's allowed their opinion though
Honestly, this mock-up design is still around!?
The first time I saw this I thought that it would be laughed at and forgot about, but it's still here...why? It's ugly.

People who put any belief in this rubbish, you only need to accept one simple fact to put this to rest - Apple will NOT change the screen size of the iPhone. Not for the iPhone 5, possibly not ever. (OK maybe in 5000 years if we evolve to have those funny, big, long alien hands).
Case closed.
no pun intended

Pfft. A red herring from Apple designed to send the Samsung copycats in the wrong direction.
Not even, really. This has to be to work of a wanna be designer sitting at home with too much time on their hands and nothing better to do than mock up bogus rubbish for inter webs dweebs of the world to pant over.
Multimedia,
Two sources for the PDF for 4.3.0:

the link didnt show. i have an ipad 2 on 4.3.0 and have been searching for the last 3 hours for the cyda pdf link. Can you please send it to me?
Not iPod Touch
I thought that too, but there's a few aspects that make it much more likely to be an iPhone. The speaker grills on the bottom, the headphone port being on top, and the extra mic right next to the headphone port. No iPod Touch would ever have features like those.

Case reopened
They wouldn't have started implementing gestures into iOS, specifically the version of iOS meant for the iPhone, if they didn't plan on increasing screen size. Some of the gestures require 4 fingers being placed on the screen, try that on any current iPhone and tell me you think Jobs, the most design conscious CEO on the planet, OK'd that. They can easily increase the screen size without noticeably increasing the size of the device. The current iPhone's have so much bezel, they can do a 4" screen just by filling in the gaps. An increase in screen size has been cited by every reliable source with supposed "insider information". I'll be blown away if they don't announce it as a new feature next month.
