White version. Problem solved.
Thought of that. I would have gotten the white if this was the design that was put out, but something about still looks very masculine and futuristic.
Got a tip for us?

I like this design: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1438449/
But I can't say the one we got is worse, just different.

Yes I like that one over the current 5. It just really irks me that the cases and everything else has to change so why only scale the exact same phone design longer. Talk about lazy.
No one comment about the inner upgrades. Just discussing design

You should realize that the rounded back might be nice design, but:
- I found the 3G slipped easier than the 4 (better grip with non rounded design)
- A round back takes space away for components so it would have been fatter/larger than the current design.
So you like that design too. I saw that image last year and it was a concept for the 4S. That concept has stayed with me since. I really love that design. Personally, that would've made a nice redesign for the iP5, and yet maintain the iPhone 4/4S DNA. Similar to BMW design, where to this day, they maintain the rounded headlamps and front grille to showcase true BMW style.
Oh well......
I really like concept 4, but it's not realistic with the need for antennas. But I like the real design.
Nice comparison. I like BMW's. Yea should have been diff design for p5 especially if their going to have the same for 5s. 4 years of the same design. When cars keep the base model, they refine it and slightly alter shape while maintaining the original design. They do not just keep the exact same design and scale it longer or essential shrink it 10%.
Wow most of those look pretty bad. I guess I would choose number 2 if I had to pick one.
Glad apple decided not to move too far away from the 4S design. I think it's one of the best looking smartphones on the market.
