Does anyone really like that design mockup on BGR with it looking like a door wedge? I think it's horrendous and a step back in design. Hope it's not true!

It's not a possibility, it whats going to happen. Anything else is just BS.
September is the latest for iOS 5 / iPhone 5. Anything later and Apple's stock is going to tank so far it might actually become affordable.

Obviously since its an amateur mockup, its not even remotely close to accurate. Nothing to worry about. Apple's actual iPhone 5 will be much nicer.
This sounds like the comments of someone who has a 3GS and isn't eligible to upgrade to the 4 yet. Bet if he had a 4 he would change his mind. I did.
The same goes with me on Verizon. I have an Android phone that's showing it's age ... however I use between 3GB and 6GB per month of data (no tethering). I'm holding of for either the Samsung Galaxy S 2 or the iPhone 5... and Verizon is introducing tier'd data next month... If I'm forced to drop unlimited data when I go to upgrade, I'm walking out and into a Sprint store.
it'd be cool if this was the "iphone air" or "iphone cloud" which was the $49-100 unit that took full advantage of iCloud with limited (4gig or less) space for apps and everything else streaming.
As an iPad owner, I would really welcome this. Considering I usually stream pandora 5 days a week for at least 2 hours and don't get near my 2gb cap, shouldn't be a problem for me.

Meaning if it does look like that it will be called the iPhone Teardrop design, not the iPhone Door Stop design.
I hope to god this was sarcasm.
Jon Ives surely has nothing left in the tank after this stinker.
What's really going to piss me off is that if I wait for this new iPhone (whatever they call it), that VZW will not let me upgrade unless I give up my unlimited data plan. Because I can keep the unlimited plan now and upgrade to an iPhone4 before July 8th.

I agree! That mock-up is awful!
Have you had cancer before? Probably not, but this statement actually speaks of your ethics (or lack thereof)
Some people love their work, and have a genuine passion for it. So if Steve wants to remain as Apple CEO, and he is obviously good at what he does, let him be. He is obviously struggling and trying his best to be involved whenever he can, so give him a break
If the iPhone 5 was announced at WWDC, I would have expected a simple evolution. I think the delay points to a new design as a spec increase could have been completed long before now.
If they increase the screen size, I guess they would change to the iPad resolution.
Can they still call the display Retina if it has a bigger screen and the same resolution?

The next iPhone will exist *entirely* in the cloud. Nothing to carry, nothing to drop and break.
This. They've had over a year to rev arguably their most important single product. I love the design of the iPhone 4, but I imagine a new design is coming. The smartphone market is a lot more competitive now than when the 3GS came out.
They can still offer the 4 as the budget product, and what a great budget product it would be!
Ship the last of the 3G premium phones ;(
Slip in the last 3G premium phone and lock everybody in for two years while 4G takes off...
AT&T is borderline fraud in the SF Bay Area and Verizon is CDMA w/ is technically ancient...
If I was a pure bean counter, I would MAKE SURE to release this a month or two before the release of the coming 4G wave to maximize profits and give the customer less...

LOL, it will be called the 4s and I can hear SJ now "the S is for signal!"
it can be held in any way you want
Hmmm, I remember Jobs saying that the iPhone 4 was in development 18 months before release. That's 6 months before the 3GS was released. It's fair to say that most of Apple's efforts were going into the 4 at that time, rather than the 3GS, which seemed a bit of a stopgap. Must have been a bit of a bummer for Schiller to present the 3GS as the new phone it was when something far better was 6 months into development. It'll be interesting to see what Apple does this time, I just have a feeling it won't be a 4S, or else that'll be Apple getting into an alternate pattern of poor update one year and good update the next. Consumers could catch on, and may only get a new iPhone every 2 years as opposed to every year.
