Posted by julias

Masseur queuing seriousley?

Did Apple not get ram sacked with the riots anyway?
Not keen on that design looks like a iPad but Smaller
And dont like how the screen is so close to the edge ..


Lets see final product though

I love the idea of an edge to edge screen and thinner phone so hopefully this will be true.

It would be intersting, I don't know about the construction of phones, but this sounds like it would be quite hard to do, to also have the back securely attach the front of the phone also if it was dropped, would this not make the screen more vulnerable to breaking as its so close to the impact edge.

Would be interesting, but photoshops mock ups for years have been doing that, I would think a manufacturer would catch on and do this already if the technology was out there.

Obviously fake though, look at the first frame of the video!

The screen on the HTC HD2 is almost edge to edge and slim too so completely possible here as well.

Edge to edge might be in the works as I recall that that might be one one the designs which Samsung was looking at and Apple felt that Samsung was about to or copying them.

Let me see you place a bumper case on this one
It can't be edge to edge and as far as that website goes :

Anyway I think the new iPhone will be something we never would have expected

It looks too thin

Posted by matwa3
Hope it comes out even better than that !

Posted by julias
Judging by the recent IP5 case leaks the phone itself is more likely to look like a small iPad 2 with a tapered edge where the mouthpiece is...not long to go now though anyway before we finally see the real thing.

So according to GSMArena.com; Touch panel issues to delay the iPhone 5 shipments/announcement?
May be...
I don't think apple spend 1 year to just update processor and graphic to duel core...

The iPhone 5 Was Real, Says A Source Who Played With A Prototype (business insider)

Posted by lingchi9
i want the lcd more big. at least 4"..!

Posted by Miss UK
4 is ok but anything bigger is a NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I really hate how Phones are becoming Mobile notebooks

Posted by Bonovox
Says the woman who has a Sensation with a 4.3 inch screen

Posted by Miss UK
Oh yeah I forgot about that

4' display is above board for me anyway I cannot be doing with a 5' like the Galaxy Note
the current iPhone displays are big enuff anyway but increased to 4' would be better

Posted by julias
BGR says it has inside information that the iPhone 5 will be launched in autumn 2012, and that the new phone will not only have a different look but a different feel. According to the site’s sources, the next iPhone will have “rubber or plastic” material built into its case as a new take on the device’s bezel. This will accompany a new aluminum back plate and new antenna system.

meanwhile... 9to5mac have a different (and more recent) story: "Foxconn employee tells us that the next iPhone is ready for production, indicates likely summer launch"

Posted by etaab
It would be nice to see a new iPhone released in the summer again. I dont really like phones being released in winter months, it makes using their camera for most of us boring to use with such poor weather, here in the UK anyway.

Posted by Bonovox
Not if the weather is like tomorrow's. Here will be a crisp sunny cold day so sunny weather=photos

Gorgeous iPhone 5 concept looks insanely great (mashable)








Posted by mriley
Looks like a cross between the Nexus S and the magic mouse
Never understand how people can believe in these concepts
All iPhone 5 will have is the same look with a slightly bigger screen, unlikely even to have a different build to it.
Slight improvements but big price tag = profit

Posted by masseur
where did it say that anyone believes in these concepts? I suspect just the word "concept" is giveaway enough that its not real.

A colleague showed me these earlier today at work and I instantly took a dislike. I much prefer the current shape over any of the pre 4 series.

Posted by mriley
You said it yourself on the first page
But i agree, i prefer the current look, one of the best looking phones out there, the less they look like most of the concepts the better



Posted by masseur
nice try but I believe I said...

and then went on in the same post to link to macrumours who showed it wasn't real.

looking back at the opening post though, that one was not too disimilar to the concept I just posted, except that it was much more angular and for me I guess that is what makes the difference between liking or not.

I think we have a way to go before iPhone 5 as most commentators now say we're on an iPhone 4S schedule, but it doesn't hurt to speculate, I mean... look at the Sony Ericsson concept forum of the last few years

Posted by mriley
Lol, my point is that you don't need a link to a rumour website to prove that a design like that is fake. Everyone knows that apple don't do that, the biggest change in their phone was 3GS to 4.
Yet you see scores of people on forums/YouTube assuming its what the phone might look like.

The only case where the concepts could be used as a slightly possible outcome is with Android.
Compare designs of Android phones made by loads of companies compared to Apple phones made by a single company.

I agree but the opening post specifically asked the question...

... and I felt like answering at that time with a comment of my like of the concept and my assertion that it was not real.

is that not what we do in these forums?

this was all, like, 6 months ago... even before the 4S came out and proved to be the most successful iPhone ever, so I'm not sure why you are reliving all this (hang on... most successful... here come the drone comments again I guess as that is the only answer to this...)

I've posted here today very simply because a colleague showed me these pics and most obviously there is nothing real and so viewing a few more concepts won't hurt in this topic that was so obviously already a concepts topic, except to those who just want to make a big deal of it all and prove the point I just made. thanks


Posted by mriley
Now now masseur. I think you are forgetting that before the 4S came out everyone was expecting the iPhone 5. But guess what? 5 months later we are still waiting for the iPhone 5, so what exactly am I reliving?
This thread is still relevent and what we are discussing is still relevant.

(hang on... most successful... here come the drone comments again I guess as that is the only answer to this...)

The iPhone deserves to be successful, it is a great phone! Unlike other members of the forum Im not biased between different phones

I enjoyed viewing the concepts, then I expressed my opinion of them and said what I thought the next iPhone would be like in relation to the pictures you and OP posted to start a discussion about the iPhone 5, I don't think that is making it a 'big deal' as it was you that started questioning my opinion of concepts rather than the phone itself

everyone was expecting the iPhone 4 and yet the 3GS came out. did it make it any less successful?

to quote a well known author... "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."


The iPhone deserves to be successful, it is a great phone!


nice I also have never been biased. I simply express my current interest which always has been a specific phone and not a manufacturer... look back at my many windows mobile posts at that time and you will not find any support for microsoft, nor will you find any specific support for Apple. probably the only company I have really supported in my time on Esato has been , which even now I find surprising but they were market leaders for several years and I don't think I could support a company again as I did them.

lets hope we get more iphone 5 concepts/real photos as thats what makes dicussions here interesting!

Posted by Bonovox
I am not biased to one manufacturer either. I just don't like the iPhone except I think the camera and full HD video is excellent

Posted by masseur
why don't you like the iphone?
