Gawker, no. iPhone 4, what about it? Was the body leaked before it came out?

I don’t believe anything until I see it on stage.

If they made it a different aspect ratio how the sodding hell are they going to make all the current apps work without lame top and bottom black bars or even lamer stretching of the image.

All the chat about Android being fragmented will suddenly become true for iPhone.

There better be a good way round it.

Let the speculation begin. Nothing is official until announced by Apple. Don’t get your expectations too high, or you’ll be disappointed at iPhone 5 too.

Ever hear of the iPhone 4?
Or a little blog called gawker?

I’m still trying to understand the point of a longer screen, it just doesn’t seem to make sense, what is the real benefit of a longer screen, it just seems that the applications will get screwed, I don’t see it, taller and not wider….Maybe I’m crazy, some please help here!!

See that part number?
So did Apple and I am pretty sure some supplier is about to lose their contract with Apple.

a thunderbolt connector on a iPhone? for what? everything is cloud based, contacts, cal, mail, notes, docs, music, movies, books, podcast, sync via wifi. I hardly even connect my iPhone to my Mac. it would be a waste of space.

Not necessarily. I usually put my iPhone in my pocket upside down, display inwards. That way it is in the optimal position when I take it out of my pocket. Headphone port on the bottom is perfect for that.

They didn’t really go to the dark side, they just spread themselves way to thin by expanding beyond control into the music an entertainment music ( and eveything else cosumer…) and lost focus…

Headphone port on the bottom??? WTF?? This would be a bad idea…

The body looks very much the same but slightly longer. If what I read is true the screen is bigger and should fit another row of icons.

The alleged new iPhone looks fine to me – better than the iPhone 4/4S. I don’t know why it is stirring up such negative comments.

I do, I remember I had one very slim sony walkman, barely the size of the tape, just one baterry, auto reverse and it was capable to play CrO2 tapes.
SONY WAS a good company…. to bad they decided to go to the dark side.

Beautiful, slick and cutting edge. Unscratchable liquid metal?

Remeber the first Sony Walkman?…

Incorrect.

You are going to buy the iPhone 5 and bitch and whine about how unpretty it looks. Then you’ll put a cover on it (like you have always done previously) negating any reason to be bitchy. Go buy a Samsung already.

I personally find the look of this phone to be pretty awesome.

All these “leaked iphone 5′s” are looking the same. They say where’s there’s smokes there is fire. I hope not. I’m not a big fan of the look.
Though like I seen a post earlier, I’ll probably be sold on the software.
I wonder, I’ve Only been sucked into apple since the 3GS. Has any other iPhone been leaked before? And it actually looked exactly like the one apple put out? I remember the lost one at a bar but I don’t think it had a iPhone 4 body on it.

I wonder if that was carbon fiber.
Also, I think one of the reasons to re shape the connector is because apple will eventually put a thunderbolt connector in there.
