I m sure the leaks are real, always leaked parts if iphones are true after all.
Except last year rumors with the tear tapered iphone but that was only rumors and not actuall leaked parts !
So i believe this year we ll get an uggly i remotecontrol phone:mad:

B) What JayLenochiniMac said




Why would you believe some hack mockup over a real part? Are you slow?

Who said i believed it? Maybe i didn't explain myself right.
I meant if the leaks was showing something similar to that pic i would believe it. I know the pic i posted is a mock up..

I just have a hard time believing the Iphone 4 long is real.

Bigger Screen then the rumored 5.
Thinner.
New Design.

I hate that it's plastic but i just tested out the phone in a store and it make the 4 look like a outdated piece of ****....and this coming from an android hater.

who ever said that is blind lol. Iphone 4 looks miles better then the 3gs.

You can tell that to all the naysayers when the iPhone 4 was leaked. After the new iPhone/iPhone 5/whatever they'll call it debuts, someone else will play Monday morning quarterbacking and say that all you naysayers were blind and that the new iPhone looks miles better than the 4S.

Why? The parts are there as proof. If you've watched any of the previous iPhone roll outs, part leaks have NEVER been fake. Case leaks on the other hand tripped up a lot of us last year (including me).

I'll give you the bigger screen, but the iPhone 5 is supposed to be thinner than the S3 at 7.6mm. The S3 does not have a new design. The corners are just rounded off which give it the illusion of being a revamped design.

I still fail to see how the iPhone with glass on the front and rear and metal on the sides is a piece of garbage compared to a phone with polycarbonate and plastic. I'm not saying the S3 is ugly, but like Geckotek said, it won't be winning any design awards any time soon.

I hope so, But the only way i see that happening is if the leaks are way off.
I probably will end up buying the 5 anyway just for the fact that i listen to music a lot & android is crap but it'll sure feel like im wasting my money when the S3 on the market.

I do admit the white version of the leaked 5 doesn't look that bad but the black is horrible. To be honest the leaked pics we're seeing now should have been the 4S rather then the 5.

Is this a new rumor? I thought sure i read that it was exactly the same width & thinness as the 4.

It's not even new, it's several days old (weeks old actually). The new iPhone is going to be thinner. Even the front glass is thinner. I'll go see if I can find some of the articles (there's been more than one).

Edit: https://www.macrumors.com/2012/08/10/a-closer-look-at-apples-next-generation-unibody-iphone-design/
Quote from the original article:
Thinness is a major feature of this design. Take a look at your iPhone 4/4S from the side. Now imagine that the new design is only as thick as the metal band. That's a big deal. From my estimates, that would make this design anywhere from 2-3mm thinner than the iPhone 4S. That sounds small, but it's a huge difference. That's as much as 32 percent thinner. As a point of comparison, the Retina MacBook Pro is only 25 percent thinner than the old MacBook Pro.

Edit2: I should add, we have had indictions that the new iPhone would be thinner since the very first case parts leaked. The original mockups displayed this nicely and there are videos comparing the parts side-by-side floating around as well.

%100 Faked by apple.
The Real iphone likely wont be seen until about a week before announcement (leak) or at the announcement. Im sure it will look totally different then that piece of **** also..

Ya, right. Please come back here when its released to the public and try to back track that remark.... :eek:

Hope so, Judging from those pics it's looks about the same as the 4 though.
Still hoping for a redesign, 12mp, & a 4.5 inch screen...& skeptical about these "leaks" also.

The ones with the screen turned on are renders, that's why. There will be no 4.5 inch screen or 12mp camera (12mp camera means nothing if optics are bad. My iPhone takes better pics than my 14mp Samsung camera.)

Why would that not be 100% accurate?

Since the phone hasn't come out... no one except for Apple and their manufacturers know for certain. BTW, I'm talking about Apple rumors in general. How can anyone know for certain that a rumor is 100% accurate? Then it wouldn't be a rumor anymore.

But these aren't "rumors" we are looking at, they are parts.

but they could be fake photos.
Ok, I'm not trying to start anything here, I'm not saying these ARE fake photos, they could be real. but no one knows for sure! Even if I thought there's a 99.99% certainty these photos are real, that's still not 100% sure. There's always some percentage that these aren't real. If you had a million bucks, would you be willing to bet on it that these are real?

There are videos with the actual parts.

Exactly what I was going to say. Apparently you've missed the videos. And apparently you've missed every other parts leak from past iPhones that never turned out to be fake in any way.

Would I bet $1M? Perahps $999,999. ;)
 
I've been burned before with leaks and rumors so all I'm saying is I'm not going to believe anything 100% until the actual product comes out. I'm not saying that you can't. I just won't. Wow, something wrong with that? :confused: I'm pretty much convinced that most of the leaks are accurate and I have an idea of how the new iPhone will look. But it's never FOR SURE until it actually arrives.
