If the iPhone 5 doesn't have a bigger screen then I am afraid they will loose a fair amount of support IMO. The specs on the 4s are more than enough. It is however looking a little dated and as mentioned the screen size. I guess we will have to wait and see.

So the S3 is the ultimate phone in all other ways. How fanboy of you
I don't think he means it that ways ... but what is new that can seriously be added to put it to shame?
Then what can be added to any phone to put it to shame?

Nothing?
Surely we're at a point where the software is more important - or maybe bettering what is there?
High resolution, more and faster hardware?
I wasn't being funny - I really don't see the iPhone (or anything launched about now) put any other high end phone to shame

Awesome mockups
If this is the actual design I think it's going to still be a pretty stunning phone.

You don't think it's classy? Personally it outclasses the 4/4S and the other top smartphones around today. Continues the same design language but evolves it with some fantastic highlights. What exactly were you expecting? It's a phone.
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.

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.

Yip, so true. Me one of the idiots.
