I actually really dislike the borderless look. I hope they don't do this. A larger screen is one thing I really don't need. If I want a big screen, I'll get an iPad.

Same here. It's completely unwarranted, there's virtually no space to be gained and it looks aesthetically weaker compared to the iPhone 4.

Hmmmm.... It looks like an iPhone 4 with a paper screen glued / taped to the front of it to simulate a screen...

No way, that would be way too confusing. Apple finally got things lined up with the iphone 4. Next will be the iphone 5, then 6, 7...
 
Is it just me, or does the back of the iPhone look like the iPod touch (like recent rumours claimed)?

By the way, it would be moronic for Apple to use 4s instead of 5. They used 3Gs simply because you can't have an iPhone 3G and then a successor named iPhone 3.
 
I'd much rather have a slightly bigger screen (mostly for less "dead" space) than performance improvements, when I'm happy with current performance. WTF do you people do on your phones anyway...??
 
As an owner of a 4.3in EVO (came from the original iPhone), I have to say I welcome a larger screen on the iPhone, though I admit 4.3in is quite large. I figure 3.7-4in is the sweet spot.
 
Eventually it just has to be called "iPhone". No numbers, and certainly no asinine feature indicators. Internally it will be "iPhone (nth generation)", and the previous model on sale for $99 (or $49) will be "iPhone (previous generation)", just like iPods. Same goes for the iPad. Seriously, 10 years from now what are they going to call it... the iPhone 14s? This makes sense how?
 
Whew! I was having a hard time imagining what a slightly larger edge to edge screen iphone would look like. Thank goodness for MacRumors.
 
Well, I have kept $200 in my savings account since Christmas and that's pretty much a feat in it's self. Anyways, I really need the iPhone 4S/5 to be released at WWDC and be some nice updates otherwise I'm going to be upset. I've had every iPhone since the 3G and each was released at WWDC so I don't know why they'll start now.

Hmm
 
I think they will announce the iPhone 5 at the WWDC like they usually do.
I think they are feeding the misinformation through their channels so the iphone 4 sales won't slow down. :rolleyes:

A 3.7" retina display would be really great.
I'm still using an iPhone 3GS and since I got my iPad 2, I can't stand the low dpi display anymore.
 
I seriously doubt Apple is going to change the screen size so slightly because it may require a lot of software re-writes (unless the apps are truly resolution independent).

Perhaps, the screen only appears bigger because the borders will relatively shrink in the next generation????

Notice the size the iPhone apps scale to on the iPad is significantly larger than the actual 3.5" of the iPhone and they scale just fine. I didn't read all of the comments, but I've never seen anyone ever point this out before.
