well, they can do that, but good luck using wifi/cellular/gps.
A friend of mine swears that my phone is huge, but it's really not. Once jumping to 4.3" screen size and this form factor the iphone 4s screen looks tiny, and my phone isn't much bigger than the 4s, just a bit taller.
I was being sarcastic, I don't think the phone looks big at all in that picture. Some people in here have expressed the sentiment that they won't be able to fit a 4" phone in their skinny jeans or that they won't be able to reach the corners of the phone.
Won't be a problem for me.
There are metal covers and cases out there that barely affect the above. So I do think it could work. Pretty sure there have been metal cover phones in the past? Razr etc.

The dock connector is useful because it's able to transmit different types of signals without conversion. You can make different types of dock connector cables that can transmit USB, Firewire, HDMI, VGA, and so on without requiring any sort of conversion box in between. It can also supply much higher power than regular USB.
Not sure what you just said.

if the antennas are still in the band around the edge, why would it mater what the back is made of?
Maybe it has something to do with the LTE radio? Maybe Apple is going Pentaband and requires more space? I don't really know how these things work.
Is the black one at an angle, or does it really have darker aluminum?
It looks like it has sharp
But looking better when seen as a whole, I guess.

It's pretty thick, must have incredible battery life.

Wow, that font on the white look incredibly fake now that I look at it...
Can they put the GPS antennas on the edge too? Like I said, I think the issue in past devices is the GPS. I referenced the Transformer Prime before, here's an article on that.
Um whats the difference betweenhttp://9to5mac.com/2012/05/29/photo...ck-taller-screen-moved-earphone-jack-present/

Apple's Digital AV Adapter cable
And Samsung's MHL adapter cable
?
Or between Samsung's usb host adapter and Apple's camera connection kit?
It's the angle.
Ok, the bottom looks really beautiful, but I can't get over the asymmetrical speaker sizes because of the headphone port taking up the space. But man that new port is hot.
Front facing camera being in the center is also interesting, but man that back is still ugly as fuck.

Headphone jack on the bottom is really stupid and it looks cluttered.
MHL is just using the usb connector to transmit HDMI, not the USB protocol. Even then, MHL doesn't transmit the connections I just stated.
yeah, no
this man is correct. Headphone jack on the bottom is the better placement
Aesthetically is looks bad, but it will be more functional to have the jack at the bottom.

Yes.
It's idiotic and uncomfortable on the 3DS and it will be here too. Terrible position for a headphone jack.
Nope.
Uhhh no, it's better on the bottom. Both in pocket and in hand.

I too prefer headphone jacks on the bottom.
What is that back panel is actually a touch sensitive panel like the PS Vita? That type of finish would make sense, if that's the case.

What in god's name makes you people think the headphone jack on the bottom is a good choice?
What devices are you people using?

When in hand, why would you want the cord to go away from your body?
When you put the phone in your pocket, it's orientation is down, so it makes sense to have the headphone cord pointing outward from the bottom of the phone.

Easier to put in/take out of the pocket, no headphone cord getting in your way when using the phone
iPod touch. Various android phones.

i gotta say, all these complaints are ridiculous.
except one.
headphone jack on the bottom? WTF?!?!?!

iPod Touch has always been this way;
I don't think that's the problem, it's just that the speaker grills being asymmetrical is really ugly, otherwise the bottom edge trim would be gorgeous.
I'm with you. Unless you put your phone in your pocket upside-down, it makes way more sense on the top of the phone.
In hand, I don't want to need an extra long cable. It's going to wrap over the phone and into your field of vision, or wrap under or to the side and possibly disturb your hand. On top it just heads up towards your ears, with no chance of any of those problems.
In pocket, it doesn't matter.
How does the cord not get in the way when on the bottom?Treefingers said:
I don't understand what you're saying about in hand. It doesn't disturb my hand it all. It just points towards my torso and goes up to my head. If it was at the top, it would have to wrap around the phone somehow which is unnecessary.
I've already commented on why it's better for in pocket use. I don't want to have to flip my phone over when I take it out of my pocket.

It's easier and more natural to put the phone in upside down.
No, I own a galaxy nexus which has it on the bottom and it's better placement compared to any other media player or phone I've owned
But at the end of the day the microusb port can do all those things like apple's ports if you get the right adapters right? Maybe in 2007 microusb was useless but today I don't really see the practical difference. Apple would never switch ofcourse because they love the control of the 'Made for iPhone' program.

Those aren't speakers - one is a speaker, and one is a mic.
Love the centered front-facing camera, like you, I'm a fan of symmetry, always annoyed by the look of the current one.

it takes some madskilz co-ordination to remove a phone from a pocket while simultaneously reorienting it...
I'm pretty sure the antenna that the GPS chip uses on the iphone is already part of the external band (even though the chip is obviously inside). on the ipad and other apple devices, the antennas are all on the inside and need to be able to work through windows in the metal structure.
with the antenna on the outside, the front and back materials aren't as important, as far s I can tell
from the original iphone 4 reveal
I listen to stuff on my phone all the time at work with my phone on the desk. If it's facing me and I want to listen to music, it makes more sense for the headphone jack to be on the bottom.
Why would it need to wrap around the phone? it just heads up to the ears.
I don't use earphones with really long cords, I guess.
I sometimes look at my phone from my waist, from head level, from the side, etc. Often near the limit of the cord length. And the cord just going out the top makes it very simple, no chance of getting into field of vision, no chance of disturbing my hand/arms. Maybe it wouldn't be a hassle with longer cords.
