i'm just trotting my mockup out again since since this latest rumour depicts something a little less asymmetrical than the initial concepts:

As I say, I hope this IS the new iPhone 5, but seriously, that must mean, then, that this is the new Nikon CoolPix:

This is the most gorgeous phone I've ever seen. Apple would do good to release something that looked this fantastic.
 
So you've moved this story to page one!

You people make me laugh!

So now your basing the design of the iPhone 5 on an icon in a software beta - really! I'm now waiting for the following post to appear: "Yeah and if you blow it up even more you can see that it also now includes a mico-usb port a pico projector and what looks like a built in pocket knife."

Look at the icon in the current version of iPhoto, looks pretty similar to me especially when you massively blow it up.

This icon represents the new iPhone 5 - my @ss!

I vote to hire you to do Apples's phone designs. Looks very, very professional an practical (meaning it's actually thick enough to have internal parts). Sign me up for one!

Nice render - I guess there is no service due to the aluminium back not allowing a signal through.

I don't think Apple will change the home button to that shape.
 
For all of you thinking that this is the new 4" iPhone (and believe me, I wouldn't be happier): How do you think Apple is handling the loss of 'retina'? A 4" display will drop the PPI to around 278.

Because everyone will be so excited about a new screen they will run out and buy. After a year Apple can release iPhone 6 which will have the same form factor but the new update for it will be that they increased the resolution of the iPhone 5 to give it a "revolutionary" new retina display! :D
 
If this icon represents that we will get a all new design for the iPhone 5 with a larger screen and is successful in sales (which I have no doubt it will), I pretty confident Apple with stick with this design for another year and the iPhone 6 will indeed look the same. I can't imagine them changing form factor every year. Like the Execs at Apple, I feel that with all the controversy in the beginning of the iPhone 4 and competition out there, it was a wise decision to upgrade certain aspects to the iPhone.

iPhone 4 had it's moment in time but hello iPhone 5!!!!:D

I absolutely love the iPhone 4 design. Everyone's saying its outdated, but I dont think so. It's completely gorgeous.
 
thanks for the replies! its obviously very incomplete and rough, as others have noted, but i was mainly aiming to get the general feel of what a 4" screen iPhone could look like.

i totally agree that the elongated home button still doesn't feel right. i know this new icon represents a pixel art simplification, but the home button strikes me as being smaller that what has been passed around in mockups so far, and i'm wondering if tweaking the scale/shape in that direction might make it more aesthetically appealing.
 
New iPhone 5

Here's my "Mock-up" of the new iPhone 5 (did you see what I did there).

So the antenna band is new, the screen is the same size and the home buttons don't change.

The blue dots at the top are for the new notification LED.

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.

Anyone else want an iPhone with the entire front of the phone being the display? Move the home button to the side and move the ear speaker to the top....

I fear this is the most likely mockup yet.:(
 
4in screen

A bigger screen doesn't necessarily mean the entire phone will be bigger. reducing the amount of black/white space surrounding the screen while maintaining the same boarder for instance would satisfy both the "ME NEED BIGGER SCREEN" people and the "THIS WONT FIT IN MY SKINNY JEANS IF THE SCREEN IS BIGGER" camp. Also would explain the oval shaped home button to clear more room for the screen.
