Photo of 'iPhone 4S' with Larger Screen?

First image is a good mockup but is most probably a fake.

The gap between the screen in the top right hand corner is wider than the gap in the middle and bottom. Or is it just my eyes?

Curiouser and curiouser.

If it's a fake, whoever did it did a pretty interesting job on it.

It looks plausible.

I mean we had:

iphone 3g
iphone 3gs

why not
iphone 4
iphone 4gs

Which would give incentive for people to go for the white one I guess.

then the 5 comes out later?

I feel calling the 2nd iPhone an iPhone 3G was dumb, but I guess they had no choice. They finally caught up so now it's the iPhone 4, which is the 4th generation.....I think that for now on it will be iPhone 5, 6, 7, 8, etc...

So that is fine, I dont think people will care if they skip 5. Why are you adamant that they wont skip 5?

Why are you so adamant that they will use 4S instead of 5?

-The 3GS had an identical appearance to the 3G, but with upgraded internals, hence the S.
-A 3.7" iPhone would not have an identical appearance to the iPhone 4 by virtue of the screen size alone, so there would be no reason to simply add an S.
-3G is a feature description, adding an S might make some sense there as it could also be considered a "feature description". 4 is a revision number, why would they add an S to that? 4.5 or 5 would make more sense.
-The iPhone 4 and iOS 4 were launched in the same time frame, it makes sense for the numbers on each to match up. What's next? iPhone 5 and iOS 5 of course. I don't know why they'd stray from matching revision numbers so quickly after finally achieving them.
-If they plan on calling the phone after this 6, why would they skip 5, which sounds like a bigger upgrade than 4S?

As far as I'm concerned, 4S is the least likely name possible for the next iPhone. iPhone 5, 4G (LTE), 4.5 (very unlikely), and plain "iPhone" all have a much greater chance than 4S (with 5 being the most likely). I just spent way to much time on this minor issue though.

Yes, you definitely did. Lol
 
this can't happen soon enough as my 3gs is slowly dying... my volume button(s) are gone and the bottom 1/2" of the screen no longer recognizes touch input.

Resizing only means having to rewrite apps if the screen resolution changes -- especially if it changes by something other than a whole-number multiple (e.g. 1.5x versus 2x). All rumors indicate a 3.7-inch screen iPhone would have the same Retina-Display resolution (still maintaining over 300dpi).

Technically their "Retina-Display" stuff is based also on typical viewing distance as well -- so a "Retina Display" iPad, iMac, or MacBook (assuming those are in the works) may not go as high as 300dpi. However, a Retina-Display iPad would like require the same pixel-doubling (2x) that was done for apps not optimized for the Retina Display until updates came that included higher-resolution graphics.

But will they stop calling it a retina display then? Because the dpi will drop with screen size increase :D
 
The phone is always to big and the screen is never big enough... LOL

I'd rather have them trim the non screen edges than to increase the screen size... But hey, that's just me... And trim a little on the top and bottom also :)

The phone will be the 4s. The start of production of the CDMA phone in Aug 2010 threw everything off kilter.

The 4s will be a 4 with the 3.7 screen, and a A5 chip. That is it. Period.

The 5 will be out in 2012 with Qualcomms 2nd gen Dual Band Chip which will be ready early 2012. It will will be a complete redesign with LTE. My money is on some type of new chassis with a new hybrid aluminum. The back glass will be gone for sure.

Apple will then produce 1 World iPhone. 5,6,7,8,9.... all Global Phones. :apple:
 
Fake without any doubt

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.

The first picture is fake, that's beyond the question. Look at the iCal icon — it's much too wide. From this angle, it should be rather taller than wider. The other icons look out of shape too.

I'd say that's pretty plausible.

[EDIT] I don't know if I agree with all the names though, but honestly that matters not.
