This Could Be What Apple's iPhone 5 Looks Like

iPhone 5

Nice renders!

Looks OK but....

As a designer myself, I don't like the asymmetric bezel and I don't think Apple would do that either, but they might I suppose, look at the iMac?

I don't think they'll change the screen size and the edge to edge screen is still a way off I think - sorry SciFi fans!

I really don't think they'd change the shape of the home button it's too iconic now and I believe they have a patent on the circle one. Maybe it won't be a physical button this time and they need the extra area for gestures [if the case designs are accurate of course].

I don't mind the iPad style back but the glass on the iPhone 4 is sooo much cooler IMO.
 
Not an iPad mini....

I like the new size, screen, and rounded edges.. but I'm not feeling the design here. I hope it doesn't turn out to look like an iPad mini. I trust Apple will come out with a NEW inovative kick *ss design:)

It's hard to detect sarcasm over the Internet. Can't tell if you're being facetious or not.

However, this reminds me of when the iPhone 4 was leaked. Everyone proclaimed how ugly, and Un-Apple it was. Until it was released, and then everyone quickly changed their tune. I suspect the same will go down here.

Nope. I'm being serious.
 
Bottom and top parts of the screen (home button and front camera sides) are asymmetrical. I hope they do not release something like that. It looks awful and it would be a problem since there are left and right landscape modes specially for gaming.

Wow, hopefully.

Beautiful.

I'm fed up with the lack of innovative Apps on Android...

Why not enjoy the beauty of this new design?

Is it REALLY that fulfilling for you to bash Android?

Leave Android out of it, we are here to enjoy Apple products.

Cheap shots are revealing of your thinking.

Are you talking about Android devices? I agree, the pictures aren't that great from those. As for my iPhone 4's camera, I just enlarged one of my pics to an 18 x 24 poster and it looks spectacular, with stunning color and no perceptible grain. And it was a night shot! I wouldn't call that a "worse picture."

Suggestion, pull the Apple out of your ass. My post (and question) was not about Android/Apple.

As for the iphone camera it is "okay" (as in, it is no replacement for a good camera - then again, not even nokia with their zeiss is). Nothing spectacular, but fully functioning (a bit off on whites from what i can remember). Funny thing, though, is that the Apple is so far up that you dont even realize that you just confirmed my earlier post.

The iphone does not boast high mp speccs. The iphone (4) takes pretty nice pictures.

I would ask you to try to answer the question again if i thought that you were actually capable of providing an intelligent response; sadly, i dont.
 
I think it looks ugly. Very awkward trying to stuff a larger screen onto the existing design. Not into it. Would rather have a iPhone4
 
There's only 3 things that bother me with this design:
1. That home button is fugly, I like the circle more.
2. If Apple decides to go with the aluminum back like the iPod Touch and iPad, then I'd rather keep my iPhone 4. Those backs are scratch magnets, not to mention they dent easily and are extremely thin.
3. As phones get thinner, camera quality will suffer. It'll have such a wide field of view!
 
I think it looks good (I've never been a big fan of the sandwich design of iPhone 4), but the speaker area looks too thin for proper grip when the device is held horizontally. That asymmetric design (when it's held horizontally) doesn't look very Apple.
 
It doesn't look quite right in the screen is not in the center. The top is thinned out and the home button area is scretched. But nice try though.
 
Tapered design will be necessary in the short term

The current iPhone 4 is already approaching the minimum thickness for a device with a 2.5mm headphone jack. Have a look at the top edge. The jack is almost as wide as the stainless steel band. It's still possible to make the band narrower, but once it becomes as narrow as the headphone jack, that's it. The display will be touching the jack.

Short term: taper the device so the top edge can be thick enough to accommodate the headphone jack. Long term: wireless earphones.

Eventually, Apple might need to either shrink or eliminate the bottom edge's dock connector. Medium term (1-2 years): thunderbolt dock connector. Long term: wireless sync and inductive charging.

So, if and when the headphone jack and dock connectors go away, Apple will be able to make non-tapered iPhone / iPod touch. There are many 3rd party device makers who wouldn't like it if Apple removed the headphone jack and/or dock connector. But it might happen.
 
prefer this look to the iphone 4. but agree that the screen should be centered. iphone 4 is ugly compared to previous gens this returns it back original look and probably helps with that antenna issue...

Agreed. The home button is totally iconic now. I can't see them dumping it anytime soon. I don't care if they do, as the iP5 will be my first iP. I just want it soon, my current phone has been acting totally wonky lately...
 
I like everything except the fact it does look out of proportion, due to the edge to edge display along the sides.

Why not make the body a bit larger so a proper border could be created around all sides of the display. The way it is, it will be hard to keep cases from overlapping the sides, thereby obscuring part of the display.

Even if one goes case-less, it still looks a bit odd.

In addition, upon being dropped, the sides are particularly vulnerable since the screen runs right to the edge.
 
I'll have some of that!!!!!!!

LOL at all the people on here saying it looks pap. Those where the same crowd that said that about the iP4 and look what happened you all went out and bought it! Didnt you!

Whilst the ip4 is a canny design it certainly can be improved upon and I'm liking the new home button if it comes to fruition. Whats important is have Apple resolved the antennae issue?

Roll on the release!:p
 
Not a huge fan of the ipad 2 design. Not a fan of the ipod touch design. Not a fan of this mockup either. The ipad 1, design-wise, was more related to the mac. The ios devices just don;t cut it for me with the notable exception of the iphone 4 which i concider a design classic.

Of course it's the software that makes or brakes these devices so I expect it to sell very well.
 
Overall I like this design. However, two things bother me: For one, the elongated home button looks terrible. I hope it remains in it's current circle shape (and as a physical button). The other thing is that I think the left and right bezel needs to be very slightly bigger. It just looks weird as is. But apart from those it looks good.

I really don't like the look of that Home button, and I hope Apple loses their obsession with "Thinner & Lighter" on their phones.

If it gets too light it'll just feel cheap, I'd prefer to have the thickness of the iPhone 4 and have a better battery inside.

I do love the idea of a bigger screen though.

I agree. The iPhone 4 just feels very well built compared to most other phones.
 
AMG, it kinda looks like my Samsung Galaxy S II and it might be even thinner & lighter. I hope Samsung sue's Apple & cock blocks them in Zimbabwe.
 
Looking forward to seeing what's real.

I don't go for the oblong home button. Just does not seem to serve a purpose so why do it?
