Next-Generation iPhone Rumored to Adopt Thinner and Improved Front and Rear Cameras

But still, how are you disputing that the 3GS wasn't the 3rd iPhone, and the iPhone 4 wasn't the 4th iPhone?
I never said what they'll call the next iPhone, I just pointed out that he had the iPhone ordering wrong.
Good to see Apple has really cranked up the security to stop these leaks
We have our finest people putting Scotch tape over the mouths of engineers to keep them from spilling the beans. Duct tape was considered too secure.
If it was the iPhone 5...it would be called the iPhone 5.
Was the 3GS actually the 4 in disguise?
I never want to see this point discussed again, it's like a dead horse beating another dead horse with a tiny dead pony.
WrongWrongWrong. It is actually the opposite.
Opening up the aperture on a camera will result in LESS noise as there is less amplification required to expose the image properly. What IS increased is "bokeh," or background blurring, due to the thinner depth of field. Also, you will be able to take slightly better-exposed photos, with lower noise of course, in dim light.
Just for the record, MP's have ZERO to do with image quality. 41 MP's is useless unless you were printing an image the size of a building. the 8MP camera on the iPhone is more then enough mega pixels. It's the optical sensors, lens quality, and the light gathering capability that make a good camera. MP's are the biggest scam going. And while the Nokia camera is nice (from what I hear), the 41MP moniker kinda ruins it.
So was the iPhone 3G (the second iPhone) called the iPhone 2? No.
And if your analysis is that that it's the 5th design, then why wasn't the 4 called iPhone 3 if it was the 3rd design? The 3Gs wasn't that much different than the 3G and Apple still called the next one iPhone 4. The 4S isn't that much different than the 4 so I'm not sure why it would be called the 5 if the 4S is indeed the 5th to have come out.
My bet is that it will be iPhone 6 or something else.
With so many new specs leaking, could a June launch be in the offing? If these are legit, they are appearing a long way before an Autumn launch.

Yes, for the Fart Apps. 60 farts per second

If they make it so the average person doesn't feel the need to keep it in a case, then in practice it will be much thinner. I used to use a fairly bulky but protective case and I see those around a lot. Now I'm using the slim and exellent Elago case. But that case still adds thickness.
I don't care what the next iPhone looks like, how thin it is, how many pixels the screen is. I still have a 3GS and it's all still great.
The only thing that matters to me at this point is getting off AT&T and 3G. Everything about the network has been crappy since I got it three years ago.
Looking forward to jumping ship to Sprint LTE, Verizon LTE or T-Mobile LTE if it ever gets off the ground.

Just dont make it thinner - what is it for? Isnt the current generation thin enough? Just make components thinner but use the space for larger battery to improve battery life.
We are talking about 1.4mm difference. That's .05 inches. Not .5 inches, .05. It's really not anything to get excited about either way.
Exactly! Larger aperture = more light on the sensor = less noise (only slightly less when comparing f/2.2 to f/2.4, but certainly not MORE noise)
There's nothing about HD resolution video that says it has to be 16:9. The designation is only based on a vertical resolution of 720 progressive scanned lines or more.
I just want to know who is making the next camera? Sony or the other supplier who made the camera unit for the iPhone 4?? I would prefer Sony due to it's Exmoor R tech.
So... according to rumors iPhone 5 will have:
- 8Mpx camera slightly better and HD FaceTime front camera
- 4 inch screen which will only be taller and not wider to allow just one more row of icons
- A5 chip better seen on the iPad 2 which allows better battery life plus a new better GPU
- 1GB RAM
- Thinner design
- Bluetooth 4.0 but not for transfers between phones
Is this enough for convincing me to upgrade my iPhone 4?
No.
Seems to me like an iPhone 4SS...

You're forgetting that it will include Siri 2.0.... i.e. a less retarded and more untuitive Siri.
Also... you can expect quite a few new software features that I'm sure they will limit to the iPhone 5 (or the new iPhone).You're forgetting that it will include Siri 2.0.... i.e. a less retarded and more untuitive Siri.
Siri 2.0 Beta?
iPhone
3G
3Gs
So No, the 3Gs was the 3rd iPhone
iPhone 4 was the 4th
now go sit in the corner
Thinner is not better
I don't want thinner. The problem with thinner is it means more fragile. Sure, that's great from the manufacturer's point of view because the phones break sooner so consumers have to buy new ones which makes more money for the stockholders and executives. However, that is environmentally unfriendly, producing more waste and consuming more resources.
I want more robust. After that more battery time. After that more memory. Thinner is not good.

I do get a little tired of people arguing with me and saying "my camera is better because it has more megapixels! That means more quality!" I'm just like "your not even worth arguing about this if you believe that."
You're forgetting that it will likely be 4G/LTE - a wonderful thing to have if you live in certain areas. It might also have NFC or AirDrop features, which would be pretty neat. Putting aside that there are probably features that we're not even imagining, the improvements that you've mentioned pretty much amount to an improvement in nearly every aspect of the phone.
I'm on a great upgrade rhythm (3G in 2008, 4 in 2010, "5" in 2012) and it definitely sounds good enough for me! It's going to be a long summer!
