On the earlier leaked photos wasn't the camera lens on the back of the phone un proportional on the top piece of glass/plastic? On these pics it appears to be centered up?

Yup, the camera is in a different location. Looks bogus.. :mad:
 
Sorry, but if true, not enough to keep me from the S3. If fact, bought one on Monday. Taking an iPhone break.

I'll return to the iPhone (been with it on the first day of release for EVERY model since 07) once it gets wider - which is what I REALLy need and want.

Maybe I jumped the gun on rumors - and IF (a BIG if) Apple comes out with a wider version this time, I'll weigh the values of each phone and sell/keep the better product. Hell, I may buy the thin/tall iPhone this round, not open it and sell it. I have two lines and both are availiable for upgrade.
 
This design is very much growing on me.

The thinness is deceptively brilliant, that bezel and a back that doesn't require a case.
 
Does it really justify buying a new phone just because of the longer screen?? If there is no NFC, limited LTE in most countries (if even available) and just a new chip/camera......why bother? This is the first iphone I will skip. I just had my 4S replaced yesterday at the genius bar (i dropped it and chipped it) for free, so I am holding onto this one for another year. iPad updates hold much more appeal for me now than iPhone..............any thoughts???

Apple makes the phone better each and every time. If you use it enough (like I do) having the latest 1 is important.

If you use the iPhone a lot, the question is "why WOULDN'T you upgrade?"

New computers are different and don't need to be bought every year, but a new iPhone means better cameras, faster, LTE 4G (which is available in my area), I welcome the new dock connector, speakers/mic are probably better, nice design etc.
 
So you got the iPhone 3GS and 4S but not this? Come on man...

There's another pic that should be posted of the 3 as a stack, and hot damn is that thing THIN.

I am just saying I have yet to see anything in the leaks to convince me to buy this, but as another forum member said, there is likely some secret software bonus we don't yet know about. To me, iPhone 4S is about as perfect a phone I want....I don't want longer, and don't mind the current thickness.

yes, correct, but in the end, you just use the same old features on the phone as you normally would. I would rather upgrade my MacBook every year than my iPhone.

It's that Apple attention to detail. We weren't the only ones who noticed that slight design flaw. One thing I also noticed from these pics is that the glass sections on the back of the iPhone 5 seem to be a lot smaller than those seen in previously leaked iPhone 5 pics. This is a good thing, though, IMO. The more metal, the more protection, the better.

This... You sprung on the 4S, but won't on the 5? Odd decision, my friend.

I believe you're thinking of this picture:

I hope that 5 is a fake. I liked the earlier ones but this one has a silver line right next to the gunmetal band that makes it look terrible. I thought the black was going to be just gunmetal and black. If it has the silver line then I may have to look at the white because that is hideous.

Lol. It's probably just the angle that the picture was taken at.
 
one thing the design can't do anymore is the perfect position of the camera

On the iPhone 4/4s the camera was positioned way better. Now they can either position it fitting the round edge OR the glass part. Either way, it doesn't look as good as the 4/4s camera

Furthermore it kinda looks like the camera opening is a bit smaller?!
