Photo Stream iPhone Icon Hints at the iPhone 5 Design

[coder12]

I think Apple realized, "Hey...maybe people DO want a bigger screen." from all the Android phones with big screens selling well.

My Android has a tiny screen (HTC Diamond), and using the iPhone 4 after using my phone makes the iPhone's screen seem HUGE.

Albeit I do have rather mid-small hands

why there is a delay???

There could be a september even next week, Apple announces the dates with little advance notice. Journalists will show because they know that Apple products get page clicks.

Still, I doubt it will be that soon.

I'm thinking apple was against huge devices, not screens. I would guess they keep the similar overall size, but increase the screen real-estate within the space they have. Just my opinion.

This is why Jobs stepped down (up?) at this time. He knew this would be a monster and they have this thing in the bag. Big screen, new notifications and most likely a better antenna. NICE! Verizon version in white for me!

Not if they lose the infringement suit. Apple can't infringe on their own design.

Apple already lost in Europe minus Germany.

Of course, the point being people DO want a bigger more comfortable screen.

Looks like a galaxy s and galaxy sII. Time for samsung to counter sue.

- Same screen size as galaxy s
- same style home button
- thinner (galaxy s II)

Samsung could win that.

They would have to have patents for those items....

usually they sent out an invite on Wednesday at the latest, do not think there is a event next week ...

iOS 5.0 still in beta 7, so there is some delay.

iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch

Looks like a combination of the three iDevices to me..a lot like my iPad 2...anyone else got one of those yet? lol.

 

[Navdakilla]

Something in my pants is tingling.

PLEASE BE TRUE

also this back and forth about the design is making me go mad (in a good way, not complaining about macrumors at all haha)

 

[Eduardo1971]

I think I like the pixelated one better, it would be nice and retro.

Best comment so far!

 

[lacker]

Well if you kinda think of it, maybe thats why been after Samsung so closely recently. Still can't help but forget that it seriously looks like a Samsung Galaxy

 

[theperipheral]

you're all crazy. the moment a new idea is released, you people think it's going to happen. they release a hybrid iphone 4 band, everybody thinks the iphone 5 is going to be an iphone 4 clone. they release this, it's now got a new design.

very strange behaviors. sick of the rumors. i wanna know when the announcement is gonna be made.

I'm sure as hell I won't be buying one if it looks like that. Ugly as hell.

Does your iPad have a special elongated home button?

 

[Navdakilla]

I am ready

take me now

But you haven't even seen it yet.

What about the image posted by MacRumors, turns you off?

Their can't be a delay if a release date was never given.

What about the image posted by MacRumors, turns you off?

The edges are too pixelated

Good grief, you haven't even seen what it actually looks like yet.

But, whatever, that's what everyone said about initial photos of the iPhone 4 and now (almost) everyone thinks it's the greatest phone design ever.

 

[maroontiger2k9]

im not crazy about the wide home button, but im calling NO PHYSICAL button for the iphone 5. its going to be a touch screen button

Oh God, please let that be the new iPhone! My 3GS just feels so old now, especially now that my mom and sister have iPhone 4's.

Now to decide if I want black again or white.... (assuming they have white at launch)

I guess i'm one of the few people who still dislike the iPhone 4 design, since the prototype leak.

Thanks for reposting this Arn.

Your 3GS feels old? I'm stuck here with an iPhone 3G, waiting for the iPhone 5 ever since the iPhone 4 came out..
