IMHO there is no way the bezel can be that slim. There will be so many accidental screen presses when you hand is wrapped around it. Try as they may they are going to HAVE to make the phone overall larger. Deal with it.

Android phones are going the same way. Samsung tech is awesome... just ask Apple.. lol
They could make the edge of the screen less sensitive to touch and solve that issue. I doubt people would notice too much unless they spend all day running their fingers along the edges of the screen.

hmmm as far as the ipad goes I think it will have a better resolution and quad core with higher Mp for the camera but same design

Personally I think they should keep the design, albeit thinner, and improve the specs (Quad-core, 12 MP camera, larger edge-to-edge screen maybe on all sides, more RAM, 3D screen and camera) and worry about catching up to Android in software

3d screens are terrible and were just a way to try make some extra sales. They look like holographic images that you would see on a little card.

Leave the option there for people who want it, but it's highly unlikely 3D will become a standard feature.

3D is to close to a niche technology and apple doesnt go for something like that unless it is something that will appeal to the masses. I dont see how the software on android is superior. IOS is so well integrated with the hardware that iphones performance will always outmatch droid. Plus you wont have to worry about your phone getting virtual aids from just downloading a ringtone app.

I guess 4g is niche technology also. As well integrated as an iPhone is, why couldn't 4g be integrated?

I'm pretty sure 4G hasn't been added yet because Apple isn't ready to sacrifice the battery life. That would be my guess.

My argument still stands. Apple is an all or nothing company. If 4G is not available to the vast majority of iphone users then it is not ready to be on a phone.

Well iOS must work on a few previous gen products. So I can't see 3D being something that developers would bother with. (Angry Birds 3D would be cool though)

I think the iphone 5 will have a mild redesign, nothing too major. LTE, definitely, and most likely a larger screen, but probably not more than 4" diagonal. It will be interesting to see if it gets a quad core processor or stays with the dual core?
The timing of an iphone 5 launch is the tough question. There have been a lot of articles that suggest the second generation base band chips for LTE, which are supposed to be more power efficient, will not be available until the H2, 2012. So, it is very likely that a launch could be Late summer or even in October again. My hunch is that there will be an Ipad 3 in April and an iphone 5 in October. Kind of makes sense to have a good 6 months between launches of next gen ipads and iphones.

Sounds about right on the October 2012 date. Despite the longer wait between the 4 and 4S, I don't think they'll go back to the June release date for the iPhone. Holiday releases are now standard for Android, so they can further avoid any thunder-stealing by Jellybean.
I do think it'll be a pretty significant redesign though. I don't know if they can wedge a 4" screen into the current form factor. There's only so narrow they can make the bezel while still allowing for cases. The Nexus is about as thin as anyone can go.

Chances are there won't be too many software changes in iOS 6 that will require the iPhone to have a quad core processor. If they do add it, it'll probably be just to be able to say, "We have a quad core iPhone".

Oops, major typo up there. I meant to say the iPhone sucks, the iPhone will always suck, and the name of this website is DroidArena.
:P
