Saw this on Twitter and it's bound to be of interest to some...

If it does look like that when release I don't think people will be blown away by it - it looks a little safe.

Controlled release we've seen this before. The new iPhone is not going to look like this.

As far as I recall, just about every iPhone leak of this nature has been correct.

There have been some very obvious fakes, but nothing like this.

Looks like a pre-release test case for the New iPhone ™. It may undergo some changes but shows what they have in mind. Would expect it to be roughly like this when it goes on sale.

Nah there have been plenty only the better ones made it to the press though and even then they were not totally correct.

Probably a cheap shot by Samsung or the like to get people that can buy now but want to wait for a much different iPhone release, stranger things have happened.

Then this is it. The iPhone 4 showed up in exactly the same way months before, and everyone was like 'oh it's fake' etc....I think this is real. There is too much detail in the casing etc....plus it fits all the rumours.

Looks like a lacklustre device to me though, I doubt they'll put anything more than an A5X as the chip, and it will only just be competitive with the HTC One S...

the white one looks like a Sensation XL

I think it is as well.

The greyish panel on the back of the white model looks exactly like the material they use for the casing on the iMac's.

I'll quite happily eat my hat if this is what the final design looks like & i'll be buying a Nokia at the same time.

The images show different sizes, some with the right info on the back others without. Funny that the Galaxy S3 is launched and pics turn up of a crappy iPhone...

Not to mention it looks the wrong aspect ratio so every app would have to be redesigned rather than just using a 2x or the like.

Far too similar to this piece of crap http://www.sw-box.com/Aluminum-Metal...om-Silver.html

Hmm....and the black version reminds me of the old black Macbooks...I would be surprised if this wasn't what the new device looked like...tbh I think this is it.

It even matches the estimated 4" screen size, it definitely looks bigger than the 4S.

Do not like at all!

The front looks the same as every other iphone and the back is awful.

Also looks like if it is real they have ditched the huge ass connector

One thing you can guarantee whatever it looks like - It'll sell.

There's been quite a lot of rumours that they're changing the connector, so that bit might be true.

The casing looks pretty ordinary, but as with anything, it's what's inside that'll make or break it. To be honest, I'm not excited by any of the current crop of phones I've seen out or rumoured recently. I think I'll hang on to my cash for a while.

The twitpic shows a bezel-less design. It certainly wont be bezel-less. It looks like the 4s but with the rounded corners of the S3.

Why?

Everything has suggested that it will be.

"Bezel-less" is very "in" at the moment.

Let's face it, Apple aren't exactly renowned for their design variation, are they.

They have a "style" of their own. Quite boring, but very distinctive. They are not going to veer too much from that.

I know bezel-less is "in" at the moment. However there is no phone on the market that is bezel-less....so I cant see apple doing it either. If you look at the pics you can see there is a bezel.

Bizarrely enough, still didn't stop the queen "wasting" a knighthood on the designer.

Still he has been recognised for it, so congratulations I suppose.

Oh they are very sleek and distinctive designs, but they are all very samey.

When they first started chugging them out, they looked cool, but now the designs are a bit boring (imo of course).

Margaret Thatcher hairdresser got knighted one year. Paul Collingwood the England cricketer got a knighthood for scoring 20 odd runs in a test series. Which promoted Boycott to say he gave his to his dog...as it was worthless.

They dont mean much at all.
