Seeing as it's being put out by apple how can you say it's not apple. The ego it takes to say such a thing must be huge.

It is not put out by Apple ;) apple direct repply to me on mail said that these rumors are speculations!
Or you trust some french design engineers who are putting out new design? They maybe hawe new screens, (maybe) but case design is definatelly not Apple! It just cant be... ;) because design is stupid...!

Ego? No, just opinion - as i said, maybe i'm getting old or maybe young peoples hawe bad taste on design :)
 
I've been waiting for 2 years too! Can't wait to get it!
I will be getting the new iPhone either way as the iPhone 4 will be going to m gf and the 3GS he has is bein sold for £150 to go against the iPhone 5 :)

Bring it on!!
 
No its an shell over the back body.

The source alleged the phone back is made of a new material non metallic, HAS NFC, no 3D cameras, CPU is an A6 768mb ram.

That photo I saw really looked like a shell and not an final product, not stream lined. The idea of something not shinny is always a good idea for electronics.
 
I have not read the million other topics about this next statement, I imagine it cannot have a five in the name since it is not the fifth iPhone.

Your logic fails already with the 4S since it was not the 4th iPhone.

But I do believe you are right. The "New iPad" set a precedent.
 
as i slightly agree, i also feel windows and android started further ahead than iOS

Who cares about Android have started further ahead than iOS? iOS and iPhone helped Apple to patent whatever Apple developed on them.

User experience with Android may be better than iOS now, but time will tell who win the battle.

I gave them a slight pass on that because of the S after the four. So going from a 4S to a five does not make all that much sense. People like numbers, letters, something to keep track of what is what, however none of the Macs do, nor the iPods aside from calling it the whatever generation. I can see why they may want to go that way, iPod, Mac, iPad and maybe just iPhone, not sure if that is the direction they will go in or not.

Not that a number makes it bad, iPad 12? yeah, I can kind of see the reasoning behind that.
 
I think it looks awesome, and the reason is purely because the screen is almost fully camouflaged with the bezel !!
 
humm i like the "new" design. let's just wait to see how it feels in person. am i the only one who thinks that the "new" design makes the 4s looks so fatty and outdated? i'm diggin' the cleaner look, but the bottom grills are definitely a little odd. well that's still room for improvements. :p

So more drilled holes on one side than the other? Is that what he's truly worried about? How often do you look at the bottom of your phone? Seriously?!?!

Symmetry has its place but unless form over function is the rule then it never made sense to make the speaker port and the microphone port the same size. Speakers are simply bigger.

Yup - I agree with you both. This is not something that would worry me at all. Just pointing out that dv8r meant asymmetric rather than asynchronous in his post.

Hopefully Apple will be sending out their invites to this Apple event in FIVE DAYS time - can't wait for that!

RTP.

honestly I still think iOS is a better user experience than android.

the point i was trying to make was iOS in it's first incarnation was rather lacking, even compared to the dumb phones of the day. Remember the first iPhone didn't have MMS or exchange email

What has really changed since iOS 1, the interface is still the same. The whole phone design is getting dated at this point.
