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.
Got a tip for us?

So what you guys initially doubted when you reported on This Is My Next's design is now the exact same design they had said months ago?

Wow, those look great!
I have my doubts that they will make the screen larger, though. That would require devs to update all their apps with the new dimensions. Until then, we would have the disconnect, and many apps would likely have a black border around them to fill the empty space (much like iPhone apps running on iPad).
I hated when there was a bunch of non retina apps on the iPhone 4...some of my apps STILL haven't updated which I can't stand!

Okay, but where is the proximity sensor going to sit? You have to have a gap at the top for that. Otherwise I'm going to keep hitting buttons with my face.
Wouldn't a 4" screen make the ppi sub-300 dpi making it not a Retina Display? I doubt Apple is going to introduce another resolution, so if they want to keep calling it Retina Display 4" is a no go. 3.7" or 3.8" would work.
I guess you'll know how accurate these renderings are if Apple files cease and desist takedown notices against you.

SWEET! I want one! 
Damn I should really just get my pay check direct deposited to Steve Job's bank account.

Silly that people -1 you for saying that. I respect your opinion but I disagree. I think it looks fantastic!
If this is what it's going to look like I'm all about it. Can't wait either way. Hurry up Apple!
Looks great...
For some reason I doubt the edge-to-edge screen, so I'm thinking something more like a 3.7" screen rather than 4".
I'm really looking forward to this... I'm going through iPhone withdrawl.
(I broke my 3Gs -- cracked screen, shuts down frequently, sometimes must be plugged in to reboot -- using a "dumb" phone for the time being.)

Ouch. I really hope it doesn't look like that. The superfluously tapered back, the weird home button, and the ugly looking edge-to-edge glass set unevenly from the top and bottom. It's all so un-apple like. I doubt Ive would allow something that looks like that to leave his atelier.

I actually like the glass back. I wonder how they'd handle an antenna going back to aluminum (i.e. are they putting a plastic patch on it as seen on the iPad GSM/CDMA and iPhone).
Anyway, in September we'll either find out how they'll do this or find out quite a few case makers were fooled and have to eat the cost of all those cases.

That would be a handy edition, losing a physical home button is a good idea I think, I've had 2 iPhone 4's replaced because of the Home Button starting to break, but the idea of multi-touch gestures on the home button sounds pretty cool to me

I agree, love the design but the screen being edge to edge looks weird. 3.7 should do it I imagine to keep the retina display
