Would love a larger screen if they can maintain the same body size. I have no interest in something like the giant PDA-sized Android phones.
 
Uh, no... the iPhone 4 was called the iPhone 4 because it was the 4th version of the iPhone (not because it came after 3 in 3G). If the next iPhone is called the 4S, that'd be the 5th iPhone model. So the next one after that would be called the iPhone 6.

It would go:

iPhone
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
iPhone 4S (or iPhone 5)
iPhone 6

Agree. It is just stupid that they in the early years named the phones after features ( iPhone2="now we have 3G network" and iPhone3="now we have a faster phone with 3G network") and than suddenly switched to the generation number .... This is really confusing to many people (my favorite ones are the one that still claim that the iPhone 3G is the "iPhone third generation" ....)

I just hope they stick now with generation numbers and no more 'added feature suffix' .... so would the '4S' be for the bigger screen or for more speed ? - if they have both, would it be the iPhone 4SS ???) -> just bad naming schema.

Maybe the phone is smaller and it makes it look like the screen is bigger, food for thought!
 
Fake. Display looks like paper / printed.
It looks like a retina display to me. People often thought the display was paper on first glance on the demo units after the iPhone 4 announcement.

Doesn't the status bar look taller? I remember a thread on here talking about how they overheard engineers discussing iOS 5 and that was one of the things that would be different. It was going to allow for an SBSettings type of thing and maybe a place for notifications to scroll? Anyways, cool. But I think this is fake.
It looks about the same as my iPhone 4's status bar.
 
Who needs it?

I am perfectly happy with the iPhone 4 I have.

BTW, what is that extra little rectangle above the speaker? My phone doesn't have that.:confused:

I'm fine with the current screen - but wouldn't mind a bigger one, as long (as you said) the phone does not get any bigger. I don't want a phone that does not comfortable fit in my back pocket or any other small pocket I might have.
 
The only thing that would convince me to upgrade would be a bigger screen. If not then... fuggedit.
 
With this supposed delay, Apple better have more than that ready... I want to have something worth bragging about to avenge myself after holding onto my 3GS while everyone else got the 4. The wireless credit card thing, coupled with 4G and a bigger screen, and a new iOS with improved notifications would do it for me... Less and I'll be a little disappointed, to say the least. Oh, throw in a wireless charger, that'd be really cool (and make external battery packs more feasible... imagine having a charging pocket on your pants... Whenever your iPhone is it your pocket it automatically charges... Or whenever it's in your purse for the ladies... That'd be pretty sweet...)
 
Still edge to edge glass like the ip4 = more cracked & shattered screens.

The 3G(s) were better designed with that metal ring to take the pain of a fall
instead of hitting the glass on edge
 
The grain texture on the screen compared to the hand is a sign of photoshop.

However, despite the probable fake picture, it could be a possible product since rumors of it were going around for a year or such. The bigger screen would make sense: borders are wasted space.

I am curious when they will begin to limit the borders on iMacs. That chin has gone on too long.

Not an issue for most users.

I definitly think this is a good idea, The screen the size it is now is fine , however the most important part is the phones physical sizes which is perfect
 
Really hoping that this is the next iPhone. It looks odd and legit at the same time, so i'm not sure. Still, i hope the next iPhone will have a larger screen.

It would go:

iPhone

iPhone 4S (or iPhone 5)

Yes, and due to basics of Marketing, chances are Apple will call it an iPhone 5, it makes no sense to skip "5" and go to 6. Also, iPhone 6 would be the 7th iPhone then. Apple isn't the one to confuse their customers like that, look at the iPad 2.
The 3GS was named as a substitute to get back into numerical ordering, that's what i think. It wouldn't make sense to go from iPhone 3G to iPhone 3, marketing wise.
Regardless, this update will be major and i can't wait for the next iPhone.
 
Never knew these guys ran a blog. The makers of the now famous Steve Jobs figure and the iHub 2.
 
One day I guess they will finally get rid of the horrid great chunks of bezel above and below the screen.

Always looks horrid with MASSIVE blank areas.
