The last few apple key notes were very disappointing. people expected more. don't you remember?
Looking forward to the new Galaxy iP-III.
Modeled after female anatomy.
You mean like an actual product announcement?
LOL. I've had one of these before....heart-attack waiting to happen but extremely delicious.
I think that is exaclty what it's gonna be called.
4 = 4 It's still the same design
S = Still Siri
L = Little longer
Except that it's not the same design.
And the S signifies a speed bump (3G => 3GS)
I think it's a significant enough change for it to be the iPhone 5. The new screen size makes it a new form factor (even if the details are nearly identical), it will likely be faster, and the accessory market will need an easy way to distinguish it from the 4 (since cases & doc accessories won't work directly with it).
hm ok...i now lost every hope that these 'iPhone leaks' are planned by apple do distract us. i was really hoping for a complete new design with this iPhone. i'm going to buy it because i want a little bigger screen and i'm just a sucker for iPhones but i was hoping for a dramatic change..maybe there's some kicking ass hardware inside!
now i don't even care..
all i want out of this phone is the tear drop design back
it felt so good in your hand, i miss it.

yeah me too! Just imagine a unibody curved aluminum body!
uhm... well... actually - nope... i doubt apple actually calling it "iPhone 5" ... i really do believe those "the new iPhone" theories...
i'm like, a real fanboy - i bought every iPhone since the first one and i was so looking forward to that feeling that i had when i bought the iPhone 4 - the new design and everything...i was really hoping for something completely new but who knows..maybe tim is coming up on stage and presenting a complete new one and all these leaks were planned..i would just jump up and scream 'that's my bitch' - but i doubt it!
Reading through all of these posts in response to the iPhone rumors cracks me up. "WHY AREN'T THEY REDESIGNING THE PHONE!!!" "ITS BORING"....give me a break.
Apple has never been one to change or add features for the sake of changing or adding features - and this is why they have one of the most popular and imho stable smartphones/mobile os combos out on the market. I own many Apple devices and love the eco-system. I don't want them to be more like android or completely redesign the phone just because today's society/mobile community screams for it (Android).
If you want widgets and an open source albeit less stable version of iOS, buy an Android phone. I'm perfectly content checking the weather with an additional swipe of my finger rather than having a widget suck the battery dry.
P.S. I recently bought a Nexus 7 to see what all the fuss is about and Jellybean is impressive (though I didn't have high expectations). It is much smoother than previous iterations and when this version of Android becomes the norm (I believe it is on less than 1% of android devices) I'll gladly welcome it as a worthy competitor to iOS (in terms of stability and flow). However, the fact that JB is only on about 1% of Android devices is really and truly the biggest issue and one would need to look no further than customer retention surveys to realize that this is the (general) flow of mobile phones these days:
New android phone is released almost every 2 months -> salespeople talk consumers into the "latest and greatest" -> consumer is disappointed (more often than not) -> switches to (or back to) iPhone when the new one is released (once a year).

i don't think that the problem here is the OS - many people just want something new for their hand after these 2 years with the same design. i do see your point though.
dude im with you on that one. I think there's a better possibility of that happening than people realize. these leaks are getting to be absurd. apple never seizes to surprise me, so i'm hoping for the same thing. I think i would start partying immediately if this happened. like im talkin full out banger at my house. ur invited.
Sure, I'm just saying that the mobile community's need for constant change (mostly just for the sake of change) is highlighted by the fact Android does it and currently retains the biggest portion of the market.
haha yup one of my favorite movies.. on behalf of jonah hill, lets get that unibody tear drop design back!!
yeah you are right. i mean the iPhone 4S has a great design and i really like it, i just want something new to unbox
----------
i'm with you!

totally in! and after we unbox the new iPhone, we all get drunk and jam...

i'll bring the beer!

Hah, I'm with you. Personally, I'm more concerned with the new features and less concerned about the design. I'm a huge fan of the iPhone 4/4S design so the fact they are sticking close to it (albeit taller and thinner) is a plus for me.
Though a unibody/teardrop a la the Macbooks would be sick too. Ultimately I'll buy Apple for the OS and the ecosystem. A nice design is just icing!
IF it is the case and these are controlled leaks to deceive blogs and the like, bravo to apple for the best coo ever and they'd earn "doubled down security" as it would forever change the validity of any future leak of any future apple product
yeah!
right now, the hardware in the iPhone is really good and they are probably going to build in new graphics and processor but what i really need is something where i think like WOAH! just because the last year update was tiny!

i'm praying for that!
Next iPhone Rumor Mill Roundup:
Name: The New iPhone (Very Likely)
Logic Boards: A5X attached to the back (Very Likely)
Camera: Sony 13mp (almost confirmed, or Dual 8mpx Cameras for 3D video Recordng)
Sync/Dock Connector: New Mini-Connector (Almost Confirmed).
LTE/NFC/HSUPA (Almost Confirmed)
4" Screen with 1136x640 Resolution: (Almost Confirmed)
Thinner gorilla glass 2: (Almost Obvious).
Ugly Aluminum Back "Unibody-Like": Photos Point to engineering Prototypes (or disguises on the real device), whe hope the New iPhone to have something more Polite and Attractive.
Gesture-Enabled Home Button: Old Unrealiabe Rumour, no public iOS API leak.
No Home Button: Replaced by a Virtual One (like latest Nexus): Nice Possibility, Unreliable rumor.
Ceramic Unibody: Old Outdated Rumor, still open possibility;
Liquid Metal Unibody: Same as Previous rumour, but more likely.
Two "Back Windows" for some reason will have two separate glass areas on Back At top and bottom (derived from back body leaks), By combinating with iPod Touch "leaked" case, we could assume is for the 2nd Camera for 3D Video.
Fingerprint Scanner: few sources rumour it;
USB3 Data I/O: Almost Obvious;
