If the leaked designed of the iPhone 5 turn out to be false, and Apple unveils a completely new never before seen device that is both taller and wider, how would you react?
 
Well I'm pretty happy with the leaked designs. So it doesn't make much difference to me.

But if it came out half as thin, and smaller case with the same size screen, with edge to edge screen, I would be happy!

I'd think that Cook did well on his promise to clamp down on leaks. :p
Can't wait for Tuesday.

ETA: D'oh! The event is on Wednesday.

As someone who is pretty new to following Apple and how they release their new products, how likely is it that they have kept the new iPhone completely secret? Aren't there always leaks that prove to be fairly accurate?
 
Im expecting it to be totally different.
I'll actually be Shocked if what we're seeing now is the real thing.
 
It would be awesome to know that they were able to string us along with a fake product, and then have something they actually kept secret to reveal to the world. *dreaming*

Then again, for some reason, I have it in my mind that there will be more than one phone released on Wednesday.
 
i'd be the first to post a sarcasm post to those who are doubting the "doubling on secrecy"
 
I would bet a lot of money that it is EXACTLY like the leaks that we have seen.
 
If its bigger than 4 inches and has a different look from the leaks I will buy. The Galaxy note 2 is all but confirmed on Verizon and could be the device to replace my phone and tablet. And yes, I do have big pockets. The Samsung 3 is old news; bring on the bigger Note with quad core on Verizon LTE. Apple is really going to have to surprise me and the iPhone 4SS (stretched) will not do it for me.
 
I'd be glued to the interwebs watching all the angry little heads pop like a giant bowl of rice crispies in disappointment and rage after investing all their expectations in to the rumors. If a device is released and there are no real surprises, then I'll just do the same thing because just as many people will implode over the naming convention anyways regardless of what it's called. Pure entertainment no matter which way it spins. :)
 
At this point I just want the reveal to happen. I don't care if it is a toaster or an iPhone, let's just get it over with.
 
It won't make any difference to me one way or the other. I was waiting for the announcement of the new iPhone to form an opinion of it anyway.
