i prefer something like this(even tho thats a case on a iPhone 4)

i dont understand whats wrong with the current iPhone 4. its been out for over a year now and no other company can rival the aesthetically pleasing shape and model of the iPhone 4

either way if it looks like this i think it will destroy a few bank accounts, mine included.

In true British spirit I will just be walking into the Apple store and plucking one from the shelf, before leaving in a slightly more hurried manner.
 
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.

Touche :)

You really gave MIDI EVIL something to digest about.
 
Sincere ,I don't Like It Poor Design ,I wished That The New On comes With A BIgger Screen 4 sure thinner and like Iphone 4 design;),if With Don't Happen There's No point to buy a New one ,well Pretty features will be Nice Also Like NFC and 64G storage ,but i think that apple won't will realase all This Feature in the same Iphone ,I luv The Iphone4 Design Back Glass Even being Fragile..

WOW, that really made no sense at all. Have you heard of this thing called full stops? Also, only capitol letters for the first word in sentence!

End of writing school.
 
What's the chance that what these unauthorized case makers think is the next iPhone is really the next iPod Touch? Now, I know what you are thinking -- there is a speaker on the front of the case. VOIP Phone.

Well with 4G the network goes packet switched and All mobile phone numbers become a sort of VoIP anyway. So why not go early. iPod Touch with data only 3G radio. Facetime gets a voice only option plus a dial in/out payment option.

Your iCloud ID becomes the primary way people know to contact you, instead of a phone number. I think Apple, MS(skype), Google are all pretending to be at mad at each other so the phone companies don't twig to the plan to relegate them to being fat pipe providers.

I love the way you think!
 
Another lawsuit...

Check out the screen and home button on here and then samsung's galaxy s and galaxy s 2... oblivious if apple does this that they will be sued so hard by samsung and they won't even stand a chance in that lawsuit.
 
iphone 5 is meaningless to me without lte. i'm switching to a moto, samsung, or google lte phone in sept/oct and then will sell it on ebay in 2012 when the iphone lte comes out :)
 
Home button will be touch sensitive

I vaguely recall hearing that the elongated home button would be touch-sensitive. It may provide a fast way to swipe between apps using nothing but the home button. I think that would be quite amazing.

I remember this as well. No doubt you are right as Apple has already made the same function in Lion, why not on the iPhone?

You do realize Apple already sued Samsung for the design of the Galaxy S right?

for fun this evening i put together what i'd like to see as an iPhone 5 design. assuming a 4" screen, the dimensions are 4.55" x 2.38" x 0.27", making it a touch taller and wider than the iPhone4, and a constant thickness matching the widest point from the case designs. obviously a 3.7" would be proportionally smaller. also excuse the lack of headphone jack and other refinements, just wanted to visualize the general form factor!

i think i can sort of get the engineering logic for the sloped back. a decent camera is probably the thickest component, potentially holding back an overall thinner design, but i still think symmetry is way more aesthetically pleasing, so i kept the max thickness throughout. the the same vein, i vertically centred the screen, which makes it taller than the case designs, but again, the minimal size increase would be worth the visual balance to me!

that is beautiful. Hopefully 2 months from now we all will be enjoying the iPhone 5.
 
If iPhone 5 design is going to look like this (which I doubt), Apple will have to cut the period of publishing iPhone 6 from 1 year to 1 month.
 
To be honest I don't really like it. The lopsided taper seems off and the proportions of the bezel to the screen seem weird.

I do like the bigger screen though. Let's see what Apple has in store for us.
 
If this is the new iPhone, goodbye tmo and android phones! If it has a bigger screen and bigger hard drive, I'm even willing to deal with att

ok i've wasted enough time, especially since this is basically just an iPod touch with a bigger screen :p
 
Hopefully the new iphone does look something like that on the picture. I regret that I didn't get the iphone 4 with the double glass, that was sure distinct, but with something new it always works out in the end.

The thinnest will not be a problem since you're be getting a case for it which adds to bulk it up. I wonder what that home button does. There has got to be a special function since its always been round.:)
