It looks the freaking same. doesn't do anything much except the size. what's wrong with sites like phonearena? they must be desperate to have a iPhone 5. next thing we know it will get lost at the same bar like it did on the previous iphone models and they raid some poor guys home with the fake APPLE POLICE

I believe Apple will pull off a completely redesign iPhone. All these leaks are merely diversions.

WHY is the camera above the speaker? Come on now I have not seen 1 REAL phone have the camera above the speaker! Seems to me that this image or prototype is not real!

It looks like a remote control. Damn this is one ugly stretched out phone. Apple engineers to lazy to come up with something new and fresh.

If this should turn out to be or look like what apple is about to announce then no wonder they are suing android hardwear manufacturer as it's clare apple has ran out hardwear innovation,just a matter of time before sales starts dwindling,s**t!

Line up now sheep for the most Irevolutionary device yet w/over 200 new features and a 3.9 inch screen. Lol. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That's not the new iPhone guys. Remember gizmodo n 2010

If that happens to be the new iPhone, I guess Samsung doesn't need to worry to pay that billion dollar.

That iPhone 5-6 or whatever is called is really ugly. And boring.

Even Samsung Galaxy S III which was criticized due to its design, looks ten thousand times better than this one.

Let's wait and see.

With the current iOS, I think it's possible to remove that physical home button. What a waste of Bezel iPhone 5. 4.3 inches would have made a significant increase in screen size from 3.5.

This is nothing but a bigger piece of the same old [rApple!!

Bwaahhaaahaahhhaaa...what a joke......lame iphone design. I'll keep enjoying the beautiful long and WIDE 4.8 inch HD super amoled display of my samsung galaxy s3 ;) with the specs that blow the isuck out of the water! The decline of the iphone is on it's way!

45. Savage posted on 31 Aug 2012, 10:43 6 0

*Sigh* This is what I was afraid of. Same design 3 generations in a row. And with iOS 6 being an incremental update, playing catch-up with Android. Apple better have something good this time. Competitors have released their best phones yet and if you want people other than your rabid fanbase to buy iPhones, surprise us like you did in 2007.

46. redsox420 posted on 31 Aug 2012, 10:44 3 1

iBoring.. More of the same. Lets just stretch it out. Add some matte plastic/rubbery type material at the top and base. Different colored logo.. yada yada yada..

show me something new and innovative, since your the kings of innovations. the kings of cool. Really, after the Note 2 just dropped, Cupertino is quaking. Wondering if they can find any forged patents to stop this Note from destroying Apple.

I am waiting for the lines to form at the local apple store in the mall.. I think I hear the herd stomping around now.. 4 inches of lovely over pixelated screens. Enjoy fanfolks.. Ill grab the Note part duex when it comes out.. We know the specs of it, no need to rewrite, except for a removable battery, expandable memory.. yada yada yada..

I am in denial that Apple would let there official phone just be tossed around like this they would of sued by now ! I believe they will release something completely different

50. fwinst posted on 31 Aug 2012, 10:52 3 1

Same stuff, different day. Seems the only pepole using their imaginations in Cupertino, are the legal teams.

iPhone 5 form factor just doesn't look right! It looks long and skinny, terrible design.

53. Nathan_ingx posted on 31 Aug 2012, 11:07 0 0

Apple's patent lawsuit against Samsung and the like are hitting it back finally.
What's iPhone 5 without the height? 4S.
Apple don't have room to move anymore...they might be afraid that other manufacturers are out there ready to sue them when they make the wrong move.
It looks abnormal... Two hand operation is going to be mandatory.

i wonder how all the bashing and cursing on apple will have an effect on the sales of this phone? whether you like it or not, prepare for an onslaught of apple news this month and october.

I'm just saying, I have an iphone 4 now cause of work an all but I've had android,wp,blackberry, etc. if this truly is the "newest" design I will definitely be leaving my options open...Its time to stand out from the crowd, not be seen with the same thing everyone else is holding lol

It's to many leaks and haven't heard of anyone being in trouble seems like this might not be real

66. shamataa posted on 31 Aug 2012, 11:52 0 2

Boring! Nothing new here folks. Really a dull looking phone now. Note 2 will destroy this to pieces/much better phone.

If the iphone looks like that , im convinced that this company does'nt care to make a beautifull phone !!!! they just dont want !!!! Simple they give you a big screen !!! its like they say to you !! " just take your f***g 4 inch screen and shut up !!! Dont break my balls now !! ''

These pics are new, but it's not like we haven't seen the iPhone 4/4S next to the "iPhone 5" before.

I like Apple and Android and I am not having a go just because it's an Apple product, but it seems to be a bit of a lazy design. I know people liked the design of the 4 and 4S and normally I'd see nothing wrong with a company keeping a form factor they know people like, but Apple make such an emphasis on the design and looks of their products that it seems lazy of them to not change how it looks.

Again, I'm not saying it's bad, it just seems odd that a company that promote themselves as a company centred around design and looks are sticking with an old design.

What i think Apple should do is shake up the market and do this:

iPhone 5 = 4" screen
iPhone X = 5.5" screen (the X stands for Xtra Large)

The iPhone X would be priced at $399 and $499 on a 2 year contract. They would come in 64GB and 128GB models. This would cover their entire screen spectrum from the:

iPhone 4S = 3.5" screen
iPhone 5 = 4" screen
iPhone X = 5.5" screen
iPad Mini = 7.85"
iPad 3 = 9.7"

Let me know what your thoughts on this...

In the next 5 years, maybe they'll make the screen wider! Smh..

112. ddeath posted on 01 Sep 2012, 03:17 2 1

Maybe they should call it iPhone 4S+1 row.

A: "Hey, is that an iPhone 4S?"
B: "No, it is an iPhone 5."
A: "Huh? You sure? It looks like an iPhone 4 or 4S to me."
B: "It's longer! Ok? See? It has a 4 inch huge screen! It also has an extra row of app icons! That's amazing innovation!"
A: "Ooookkaayy... I don't want to argue with that..." *Goes back using his/her 1+ year old Samsung, HTC, Sony etc. 4++" screen phone he/she is holding.*

113. amehtab posted on 01 Sep 2012, 04:01 0 1

The design is same just stretched ... boring
Hey Apple look at the Nokia designs , your every phone doesn't need to look like iPhone4 ..common innovate something !! [That's what you said to samsung , Right ] :P

Is it just me or does the new iphone look like an ice cream sandwich bar i hear a lawsuit coming from google lol.

Apple's Thinking:" The ice cream sandwich software is doing so well lets make are phone look like an ice cream sandwich then sue google for copying us even thou they had the name first."

It's just a bigger 4S. Sorry guys but I really don't think you should spend more money to sth that's similar to what you have

122. krypticsoul posted on 07 Sep 2012, 17:54 0 0

Its a 4S with a BONER.....

124. Abdul92 posted on 10 Sep 2012, 20:38 0 0

Too bad that the thing on the right is not an iPhone 4 or 4S, but rather a fake iPhone by some company in China.
