Yes, because that is the most important aspect of this whole issue - the ability to look back and say, "I told you so!"

The most important aspect of this "thread" is fun!
What I'm wondering is, how difficult would it be for Apple to fake some consistent part leaks and would it be in their best interests?
It would be very difficult because it's nearly impossible for a company such as Apple to keep a product such as the iPhone under wraps.
I don't really mind the design, except for the taller unibody (not screen) I wish Apple could fit a 3:2 aspect ratio 4 inch screen into the same unibody size as the 4S...

here is a link to the MR thread when the images were first leaked.
And here are a few of the comments. There are all just on the first page
Well then maybe if we start saying the leaked phone looks beautiful, it won't be the real thing
Since saying its not didn't work in the past lol

This article pretty much shows that it makes all too much sense to be fake.
That, or he has a great imagination for designing.
Personally, I love the new rumored design. I don't see how ppl say it is the same as the iPhone 4 design
Differences:
Thinner
Back material change
Lip over glass
Back color change
FaceTime camera move
Redesigned speaker grill
Moved headphone jack
New SIM card style (maybe)
Smaller top/bottom bezels
Similarities:
Flat on both sides
Home button.
Corners with same radii
Home button
Volume buttons
I mean really there is more change here then between the original iPhone and the 3G.
I don't see why everyone is crazy for the teardrop, I don't see how that will let them continue to have the thinnest available phone. The thick part would have to be iPhone 4 thick to accommodate the battery. Really the no curved back design allows the most amount of useable internal space allowing the device to be crazy thin.
Personally I think this new design is a hit and is a great redesign.
Of yeah, the Galaxy S2 and S3 are have less differences then the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 rumors but yet I don't see complaints about that on the android forums.

Majority doesnt care about phone being thinner... It actually should be thicker for the purpose of better battery life... Especially knowing this 4" design does not give so much more room for extra battery...

I guess it s not current direction...
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?
What leaks have you exactly been burned by? Every leak within the last couple years have been real (ex. iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2). If you're talking about last year's "tear-drop" iPhone, that wasn't a leak. Those were renders by websites that were made to show what the supposedly next iPhone would look like.
How so? The leaked battery is barely bigger than the battery used in the 4S right?
I am not saying that it is the same as 4S. I just do not want a longer screen. To me, a longer AND a wider screen is more practical. One reason this rumor might be true is that if Apple wanted to make the screen wider, they would have to either make it too wide to fit 5 icons per row or make the spaces between icons wider causing the interface to look sloppy.
Don't we all
Apple wants to make money, not give the customers what they want.
It's like the 4S on viagra. Lets hope for a little more width. I know I know, that's what she said.
Don't we all
That makes no sense. Apple makes money by giving the customers (whey Apple thinks) they want. If they made something the customers didn't want, nobody would buy it and Apple wouldn't make money.
