iPhone 5?

[Buehler445]

I heard on the radio that the new iPhone comes out next week. But I haven't seen anything on here.

Surely there is something we can discuss.

Thoughts on the new iPhone?

Here's a supposed photo of what it will look like compared to the current iPhone 4S:

If that is legit, I don't understand that form factor choice...

Wonder what color the iPod Touch will be this year.

It is a little odd to have it be so tall. I'd imagine their reasoning is that they want to keep it narrow enough to reach across with your thumb, but still...I'd be curious to see how it really feels in your hand.

I have a samsung galaxy S II and I have a hard time reaching to the top corners of the screen with my thumb and my hands are normal sized. I cant imagine doing it with the S III or the Note.

Apple has the right idea if this is a true concept, but even with a tall screen it will be tough.

WTF is the deal with the iphone and the wasted space with the big black bars at the top and bottom? Why don't they just tone that down and make the screen bigger there (or make the phone smaller)?

I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to go to the new iPhone or go for the Galaxy S III on Sprint.

I still have my old EVO now.

I still cant get over the fact I touch a button-less screen and something sends signals to space and brings back my entire music collection or anything else.

So I haven't quite gotten to the point that the screen is too small or whatever.

That's where a lot of the inner-workings of the phone are stored. LCD screens actually take up quite a bit of space.

Motorola is working on a phone that actually uses the full face of the phone, but it's a tricky thing to accomplish.

The SIII is incredibly fast, and the screen looks great. I actually ended up going with the Galaxy Nexus though - I can't stand TouchWiz.

My HTC inspire has a *small* bezel, but I specifically was talking about the one on the iphone that seems exceedingly large, especially on the top part where the speaker for your ear is. My HTC just has a little sliver about as wide as the speaker.

Not sure I know enough about Touchwiz to have an educated opinion on it versus something else.

If you Google it, you'll find some videos that show what it looks like. It's just a personal preference thing - I like to have relatively "pure" Android, but plenty of people like TouchWiz just fine.
