    But why is it better? Smartphones need to do more than just look good. If you want a screen larger than 4 inches, you will have to go elsewhere anyway.

    ......... All we're seeing here is a mockup of the physical appearance. We can literally ONLY speculate on the appearance. Personally I think it would be a beautiful piece of design work, nicer than 4S, Galaxy S3, One X, Lumia or anything else on the market.

    Maybe its just me, but looks exactly like the 4/4s with a different back. That same look is now old, they need to up the game a little. And I certainly don't think that mock up looks anywhere near as classy as the S3.

    Actually I'm not that sold on the S3, but I like the HTC One range. This is classy, but then, so is the 4S. In fact, they look extremely similar.

    S3 is pretty ugly :/ One X is very attractive esp in person. This one oozes class though. It's kind of in a different league.

    I dont see how you can say that seeing as you have never seen an actual one, never mind one in person.

    Plus dont you agree it looks very similar to the 4S?

    I find it amusing how peeps focus so much on looks, then slap on a case and screen protector totally negating any effort put into the design.

    All I'm doing is commenting on the mockups shown here which are based on leaked iphone5 parts. Could be totally off the mark. But what is shown here I really like.

    As for similarity to the iphone4, yes I said earlier it is similar in the sense that it shares a common design language....like a set of typefaces in a family, they use the same cues. It immediately comes across as part of the same family of phones but look at the lines, the two-tone back, the impression of solidity. It is a great evolution.

    I'm sure you're welcome to think that, this is a free market innit.

    I love my Apple product, but my S3 is really impressing me, the screen is brilliant. The eco system though sucks, really miss that part. The ease I had to buy new music while sitting on a bus on a whim is over now, need more forward thinking now.

    For me its all about the camera. The 4s has the better camera compared to the S3 so it has to be the iphone for me.

    According to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1771006 the two are evenly matched, but I guess the new iPhone 5 camera will swing it to Apple again.
