Alleged faceplate of the next iPhone hints at a slightly larger display
Share:
Now the same site that follows China gadgetry, and showed us how white iPhones made with aftermarket conversion kits are to be sold in quantities there, dug out a photo of a white iPhone faceplate that doesn't look like the official thing leaked from Vodafone.

All we see is that the faceplate is different from the official deal (which is not even announced yet, but will be soon) - in proximity sensor design, and also in screen size and bezel.
The display looks slightly larger, thanks to the thinner bezel, and less space between the screen and phone edges. This coincides with the rumor that the next iPhone, supposedly coming in September, will be a slight upgrade to iPhone 4 externally, including a bump to a 3.7" display, from the current 3.5".

Here's the biggest reason why I'm not buying this just yet. I think it was at the end of '09 or beginning of '10 when we got the same kind of face plates for a supposed iPhone Mini that never came to light. We see these mockups all the time and honestly, they can be easily created. I'll wait for Steve to get on stage and say what it is...still a larger screen would be awesome, although I'd still like to see 4" if they can make holding it comfortable...

I'm with you dude,
I need to here this from the man himself before I can believe it. I would really like to see a little larger screen too. I think it would be awesome if Apple can give iPhone 5 users a choice on screen size. Just saying.

as usual minimal changes by apple but fanboys will be slaved into buying it again as afeter all a slightly bigger screen changes everything again
