4th Gen iPhone to have little design change based on photos
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
Similar to the first gen model, the LCD screen is factory glued to the digitizer, while on the 3G and 3GS, the two can be separated. This really only matters to repair people who will have to raise prices to fix the screen as two parts will have to be replaced at the same time. The front panel on the 4G model is 1/4 inch longer than the earlier models. Above the speaker is a mirror like surface that could be the proximity sensor. If it is the sensor, it would be in a different location than the other iPhone models.
Taking the leap of faith and believing that these are the real parts for the 4th gen iPhone model, it would appear that Apple is sticking with 'tried and true' as opposed to really shaking things up. Of course, this is only part of the story and there could be other hardware changes to come and certainly we would expect to see some changes in the software.

No it doesn't. That would kill the design of the phone totally.

the iphone needs a keyboard but it will mess up the design. The iphone is about simplicity and asthetics. Adding 36 keys to a phone like that will throw off the design completely. it would have to be a slider and that would just put it with the rest of the side sliding touch screen phones.

you meant to say it would totally kill the design of the phone, but cutting it in half and having a discrete bezel that would slide up and reveal a keyboard wouldnt kill the design, it would make the phone more practical to heavy users.

I'm a very heavy user and find the touchscreen keyboard to work great for me. The auto-spell checker allows me to fly through messages with little to no mistakes, and not having to literaly press anything saves time as well. You probably wouldn't know all that though becuase I'm guessing you, like most people who have and bad things to say about the iPhone, have never used it.

Definitely no fanboy glasses as Im hardcore WinMo XDA and Android noob. But it would be common sense to have a higher res/bigger screen. Then again it would be common sense to have at least one camera in the Ipad. AAPL has become real good at selling minor upgrades year to year and making me tons of money.

Apple isn't interested in common sense, just the almighty dollar. No surprise if the screen is unchanged.

I think the most obvious question here is why would apple send parts for one of it's biggest secrets to a repair shop? Also y would it be bigger without a bigger screen. I call shenannigans!
