It's not a phone - it's a portable media device that you can make calls with. I use it as a phone about 1% of the time, if that. If you are using it primaily as a phone, then you should get something cheaper. Larger screen certainly can increase productivity (um, worksheets, etc) but mostly will increase enjoyment from having a larger viewing area for videos and games and the like.
When I bought my 4S the first thing the guy at the Apple store said is 'get a case, don't go naked'. I asked for the least offensive case possible. I go a nice one that adds hardly any thickness or weight and is somewhat translucent so I can see the logo and wording on gh back. But most people I know cover theirs up with these bulky ugly colored things.
These mock ups aren't based on any inside knowledge and most of the time all they're doing is making it look like an iPad or iPod Touch and making the screen bigger by eliminating the bezel. I highly doubt the next iPhone is going to look like a mini iPad. Especially when the iPad design will probably be refreshed in 2013 anyway.Yeah, because we need more pixels than viewable by the naked eye :roll eyes:.
I can see a slight jump, as stated in a previous post, to 3.7 or 3.8". You need only hold the phone another 5" from your face to equal the current ppi
Aluminum back, not happening. The glass is to allow better signal transmission. That is why the 3G enabled iPad's are stuck with the ugly black panel. I like the glass. My iP4 has always been naked and I don't have a scratch on it. Let's see the antennae band made of liquid metal* that goes clear to the edge so when you drop it, it bounces.
*Does this stuff conduct?
