      Why in the world would I want a longer iPhone... I was expecting bigger proportionally but not this... I think this is gonna look ridiculous, and the resolution, what the hell is 1136 x 640??? This is gonna look like LG's TV remote looking phone thing.... Steve's rolling around in his grave yelling "let me out so I can kick their asses"...

              ianisgay, 06 Jun 2012Iphone you are crap just a whole load off copy cats. Samsun... moreJust to let you know, Apple may have just bought Siri for another company but they did not steal it... if anything Samsung stole it from Apple... the proof... Apple released Siri with the iPhone 4S in October of 2011... Samsung released S-Voice with the Galaxy S3 in May 2012... 7 months after the iPhone 4S and Siri.

Android is every bit as simple if not more than IOS if you only use its basic functions. It will just offer more flexibility and integration while doing so. Even light moddifying is simple. People can learn Android just as easily.

                    GTS, 06 Jun 2012if im honest, yes the next iphone to come out will probably... morei totally agree w/you.

                    i use an old iphone 3g for over a year now and i'm hellishly frustrated about it's damn restrictions. the 2nd thing i hate about the iphone is that, like you said, they lack some features on their native apps. the maps app, for example, has turned out to be a bummer. and no fb. what!? no fb on a high-calss phone! what the hell?

                    and lastly, the price. the reason i can't upgrade from my 3g is bcuz here in the philppines, the prices of the iphone is just high-way robbery.

                    i like your point of view.

                        Anonymous, 07 Jun 2012This is really boring news. 4.1 inch screen is WAY TOO SMAL... moredude, it's so obvious that your basing your opinion on nothing. your just a hater of apple but that doesn't change the fact that millions and millions of people around the world uses and ENJOYS IT. it's a very clever device, so simple, even a kid can learn how to use it, not like android phones.

                        don't get me wrong. i like the s3 but your totally wrong about it's design.

                              as long as the limitations of iphone remains, i will never buy an iphone. and i'm sure it will never reach the level of technology the GS3 has...just like the 4S and GS2...

                                  4.0" - 4.3" should be the standard smartphone screen size and not those unattractive 4.5 and above those are no longer smartphone but already a palmphone.

                                    Hardly a scary news but I'll give some cred to Apple if this rumor turns out to be true. At least it's high time that they put out something larger than the currently ridiculos 3.5". It's relatively easy for Samsung, HTC, Motorola or heck even Nokia (if they can put their head into it) to come up with any 4.3-5.3" phablet models to surpass.

                                    A15 beyond gen SoCs w/ newer GPUs, better imaging sensors and screen options are easily adoptable by all Apple competitors...the only prob with them however are the tendency to half ass w/ trying to saturate model lines too much and generally a step behind product design.

                                        Anonymous, 07 Jun 2012This is really boring news. 4.1 inch screen is WAY TOO SMAL... moreGalaxy s3 weight almost same as iPhone 4S... :)

                                        "In a new research note, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple will be making significant improvements to both front and rear cameras on the next-generation iPhone, advances driven by a desire to decrease the thickness of the device and to improve compatibility with a new 16:9 display.

                                        According to Kuo, the rear camera on the iPhone will remain at 8 megapixels, but the aperture will be increased from f/2.4 to f/2.2 in order to reduce camera module height by nearly 0.5 mm."

                                        I'm sure its going to be very small device, just like iPhones before. Its going to be very thin and look great as always.
