Latest Apple iPhone 5 speculation; no big change in screen size

38. andro. posted on 23 Mar 2012, 19:12 9 2

the exact two phones i'll be considering also,The Htc one x is looking extremely good but will have to wait on the sg3 first before a decision can be made! The htc one x i should have my hands on within 3 weeks or so so that'll be first to get a looking over

Looks like the new iphone might have little form changes again,if apple however changes the charging port than ifans the world over will have to buy all new accessories,docking stations,car chargers etc to suit the new smaller charging connector and you can guarantee Apple will have a all these new accessories available to buy with the iphone at launch with nice big price tags on them

Well what phone maker wouldn't have em ready? It's when they don't have em ready to buy that bad.

btw, im a Galaxy Nexus owner, and would defintly buy the next iPhone if the screen is between 4" - 4.5"

Agreed! If thescreen was between 4" - 4.5" i would definately purchase one. I need reasons to stay an Apple customer.

Yeah, well I'm a proud RAZR™ owner and the only way I'd consider an iPhone was if it had a 5.3" screen. Otherwise, it's a G-Note for me.

And, before you say anything, if the RAZR™ had a 5.3" screen I would not consider another phone.

♥ my RAZR but, size matters !!!!

pretty much the only thing holding me back from an iphone is the screen size. I have an ipod touch and it feels like a toy, I can't imagine using the iphone as my daily phone. 4.6" may be overkill, but I don't see what's wrong with 4-4.3"

Never know, it's jus speculation at this point. I hope they increase it too, but I doubt it would be as bug as 4.5.

many people will buy it regardless of screen size

Right there with you. I don't buy this rumor...I don't think Apple is blind to the disappointment people had with the last iPhone. It was a great upgrade of the iPhone 4...but there are a lot of people waiting for a brand new iPhone with a larger screen and a big redesign. If Apple doesn't supply it, it will be a huge misstep on their part.

Heck I'm takin it with 3 grains

They state that in the article, "According to iMove's sources, the display on the next iPhone will be similar if not the same 3.5 inches that it always has been.".

Lol at who gave this a thumbs down! What was the point? Nothing rude was said. Just posted something from the article.

actually people know at least a week before it's in stores when Apple officially announces, nice try though

21. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 23 Mar 2012, 17:39 6 2

ok sgtdumbie you clearly have no idea what you are talking about lol.
Bigger battery = better battery life. The Droid Maxx got a huge battery and it can last you 2 days without charging it. Despite it having a 4.3 inch display. The Galaxy Note can also last a full day and that big boy has a 5.3 inch display.

Look at the original Droid, only 3.7, barely bigger than the iphone and god bless it's soul it had pretty crappy battery life. The move to larger displays also mean larger device, thus giving them the chance to put in a larger battery.

Dude you don't no what your saying my galaxy nexus use 67% of my battery bigger screen more battery use

28. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 23 Mar 2012, 17:57 6 1

lol and how long does it actually last you? My Galaxy Nexus lasts me a whole work day of 8 hours and 3 hours later when I get home. Depends on how much you use it, brightness settings, yada yada yada. The point I was trying to make is the bigger the battery the longer your device can last. So "dude" I do know what I'm talking about.

Lighter - yes, but bigger screen usually means bigger battery, hence better battery life :)

So when the iphone weighs 4.9 oz and the galaxy s2 weighs 4.3 oz the iphone weighs less? Wasn't aware more was less these days. Must be opposite day, or better yet you speak without knowing day. Yeah that's the one.

And just too reiterate that I have no love for Apple... a joke for you:

Q. What did the Chinese manufacturer tell Apple about each of their employees in order to seal the labor contract?

A. It just works.

Why do you have to reiterate you have no love for Apple. The fandroid idiocy on this site is crazy.

Btw iPod was designed by Steve Jobs, Jon Ivy and the crew.

Wow... lighten up. I promise you tomorrow will be a brighter day. Well, maybe not for you, but somewhere a child will smile - and you'll still perceive it to be at your expense somehow.

But, to address your 'statement', think about this: How many teeny boppers that had to have iPods on their holiday wishlist and/or made Mom & Dad go buy them one because they absolutely had to have it even knew who Steve Jobs or Jony Ives were? How many knew what the difference was between Apple and other pc vendors?
Yes, the iPod may have been designed by the crew, as you put it, but the iPod took on a life of it's own.

Who gets remembered, Dr. Frankenstein or Frankenstein's monster?

true but there isnt nearly as much profit in the Ipod Touch line as the Iphone/Ipad line. Unless Apple is to charge more for the new generation perhaps, but given how smartphones have more or less took over the PMP market, its doubtful.

I suppose so. You know, it's a shame that some of the best ideas have to be shuttered simply because they won't work. :-(

I can read the bitter disappointment behind your comment.
How dare apple disappoint a faithful isheeep like you? No way! huh?
AHAHAHAHAH!!

why sell yourself short with the S? X is where it is at

48. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 23 Mar 2012, 22:46 1 1

Sadly, if it has the Apple logo on it, it's going to sell. A piece of turd for example.
