If Apple keeps the resolution the same forever they will lose a lot of ground long term.
----------
A few years, the phone has been out for 6 already. The current form factor is outdated.I'm sure we'll get a 2272x1280 (1136x640 doubled) screen in a few years.

There was more bezel than screen size from the start,,, even the iPhone 4s doesn't have a *That* much space around the physical screen size.
Great video. I'm preordering the next iPhone after it is announced, I'm excited for a larger screen.
Fake?

Right, they should make it a triangular screen, then Apple would become truly innovative again!
Translation without the snark: just because something has been around for a few years doesn't make it "outdated" and in need of a change.
Re-enable snark: I want my new car to have five and half wheels--this four-wheel thing has been around for a century or more--it's so outdated!
With all the negative comments, evidently not!
Talk of a taller but not wider screen didn't thrill me initially, but I've kinda warmed to the idea. I'm still reserving judgement until September 12th, though.
RTP.
I can see September 12th coming and Apple will show this same 4 inch screen that is not wider. No one will complain right there and then at the keynote.
Since the iPhone has been playing the catch up game since forever, (look how long it took to get simple copy and paste) we'll have to hope to get a wider not just longer phone next year. iPhone 6 or what ever they choose to call it.

IF Apple if going to tout innovation how can they let Google out do them?Right, they should make it a triangular screen, then Apple would become truly innovative again!

The OS hasn't really changed and the phone is still the basic form factor since the original. Where is the innovation?
Sitting this iPhone 5 out also the 5x or whatever there going to call it , I've been an iPhone user since 2007 and a Mac user since 84 . I think this iPhone 5 will be a major fail !
Sorry Apple but to con people into buying another 4 or 4s
With a taller screen sucks !! ios is also getting tired !!
Samsung ate your lunch with the galaxy s3 !!

I'm just worried that the taller screen "is just it" (and a faster processor, and possibly another software gimmick like Siri). If it is, then there has been little progress since iPhone 4 and there is a need of change.
What point, that Android is making better phones?Wow, did you actually read my post? You just proved my point in a nutshell!!!
Since forever? What was the first iPhone catching up on? What was the Retina display in the iPhone 4 catching up on?
They started in first but they are getting lapped now.Since forever? What was the first iPhone catching up on?
If Samsung was not making money off of their phones Apple would have never of sued. Rather than innovate the new iPhone they are trying to take out the competition.
Retina display is still on a small 3.5 inch screen.Since forever? What was the first iPhone catching up on? What was the Retina display in the iPhone 4 catching up on?

Then you said:
