New “iPhone 5″ mockup shows how it’ll look in hand

I love looking at mockups, that much I’ve made clear in the past. The most recent set published by serial renderers NowhereElse looks fantastic and gives a great deal of perspective to the most popular 6th generation iPhone rumors. The site published a gallery titled “iPhone 5 render based on Leaked Parts”, within it now is a whole bunch of images showing the phone in hand to give a better view on how big it will be with our eager mitts all over it. Hit the link below to check out the full gallery.

In truth there’s nothing radically new about the renders, except that their some of the best designed yet. The Aluminum back panel on the black version has a much more smoky look than that of the white version. In all honesty, I prefer it, despite always having white iPhones I don’t think the two-tone back works as well on the white. It could also be that the black one somehow seems more rugged and more inviting to hold. It’s not a phone you’d want to protect too much because it’s “too pretty”. Apart from that it’s the same micro-dock seen in previous renders, headset jack and speaker/mic grills on the bottom, and the centralized FaceTime camera on the front.

What are your thoughts? Is the proposed design big enough? Do you prefer black or white?

There's lots more where this came from... and to be fair, I made sure I left out Samsung in general, which mops up the floor with Apple even though they have very low tablet sales. However you feel about Apple and iStuff, the S3 is really taking over the smartphone market right now.  Tablets?  Not so much.  But note here even the Droid Razr Maxx beat iPhone sales on Verizon in the 2nd quarter.  It's getting stale.  Period.

 davedsone I asked about the SII, which is what you mentioned in your comment. I appreciate the links. It is important to note that a) First one specifically mentions Southern California, not global. b) Razr Maxx outselling an iPhone on Verizon isn't big news since Verizon and Android's partnership is longer lasting than with the iPhone. Most still go to AT&T for the iPhone. c) SIII is a brand new phone, iPhone 4S is almost at the end of its lifespan. 1. iPhone still rakes in 77% of the mobile industry's profits: http://allthingsd.com/20120806/apple-gorging-on-mobile-industry-revenue/2. iOS is may be behind Android in market share, but its share is growing faster: http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2012/8/comScore_Reports_June_2012_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share

There's only so much that you can change on an almost perfect phone!!! The bigger screen size will make it that much better to compete with S3 and note. All these other phones with 5 inch screens is just crazy. A phone is suppossed to fit in your pocket comfortably. How do you fit a humongous note in your pocket? If you want a huge screen get a tablet. 4 inches is just right for a phone. If your hands are too big then you need to lose weight. Yes theres better phones out there with crazy features. But what sets the iphone apart is how simple it is to use. And as we all know most of us americans are lazy and like easy an convinient. That's why the iphone is the most popular phone out there. Just plain easy to use.

 GOBIGRED2012 A phone is supposed to be what you WANT it to be.  NOT fit in your pocket, or whatever you say you want.  I personally LIKE a 5" screen.  If you don't, fine.  But declaring your product is perfect and anyone NOT liking it to be defective is what is getting Apple behind the 8 ball at this very moment.  Whatever they call this thing, it's a *barely* tweaked iPhone 4s, and I say HO HUM..

@davedsone- it doesn't matter because numbers dont lie. If a certain phone sells more then it simply wins. Iphone has sold more phones over the years so techinically its better. Theres no arguing against an iphone when there is yet to be a phone to match it. And a 5 inch screen just makes a phone look ridiculous. Like i said, you might as well get a tablet if your desire is a huge screen.

davedsone 5 pts

 GOBIGRED2012 THOUSANDS of people are getting that 5" screen.  Make up facts as much as you like, but the iPhone is losing market.  Every iteration that changes little or nothing sees it slip more.  My HTC One S not only matches it, it beats it.  The Galaxy S III runs circles around it.  The Droid Razr Max outlasts it.  YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE REAL 4G.  My phone can download up to 42 mbps, you still can't get that 4s over 6!  Stay on the bandwagon, buddy.

@davedsone I think i know there is better phones out there but in case you have been hiding under a rock that doesn't always matter. How do you explain iphone still being the top phone out there with less "special" things your phone can do? Its about what is easy for people. My cousin switched from iphone to droid bionic and it drove him crazy. He said there are no shortcuts or anything. The phone is nothing but complicated. Once again i repeat iphone does not have all the special things other phones might have but that doesn't matter to most people. The difference between me and you is that i am happy with my phone. You may be happy but only for a certain time. Then you guys just want more and more. There is only so much a phone can do. And all this talk about 4G when nobody in reality has it outside of a dozen cities. The UK is barely catching up with 3G. Android and htc are heading up to fast and thats what seperates apple. They dont just come out with stuff first. They almost perfect it so it can be used properly not have all kinds of problems like droids have.

 GOBIGRED2012  davedsone I don't know you.  But let me tell you, I have watched apple totally blow markets they invented before, and this is EXACTLY like those failures.  So, not today.  Not tomorrow.  But, it will happen.   I  don't know your cousin, but he must not be very bright.  If you think Android is complicated, that says more about you than about Android.  I have 4g in Lancaster, PA and have hit 23mbps in town regularly.  Maybe YOU live under a rock.  As far as  "They almost perfect it so it can be used properly not have all kinds of problems like droids have" please google "iphone death grip".   Your phone is aging, falling out of favor, small, weighs too much, and is beginning to look like Windows 3.1.  I don't care, myself, I already know how this story ends.  Same way it did last time.  No Jobs, no Apple.  See ya later.

@davedsone Come back when apple is dead. Or when apple sells its estimated 170 million or more iphone 5's!!! Android is for people who want to be different and feel special. Always thinking of being better than anyone. Samsung has already lost court battles because of its copying the iphone and will soon enough stop sales in europe and even here in usa. Galaxy S3 is the only phone that can actually conpete. Wonder why? Maybe because its an almost exact replica of iphone. Like i said when droid or htc or samsung dominate the phone industry come back and talk. No phone can sell as much as iphone can. Not to mention when android comes out with its sales numbers it doesn't take into consideration that iphone only has 3 selling models right now. Droid has tens of phone models. With most of them being under 100 bucks. Ofcource they will be similar to numbers. But to only have 3 models and still dominate the smart phone industry just speaks of whose phone is actually better. Everything good comes to end. Eventually so will apple. But for now it is at the top and maybe a little more respect would be nice

 GOBIGRED2012  davedsone You just make this stuff up, don't you?  "it's almost an exact replica of the iPhone"?  First, the lawsuits were about the FIRST GENERATION of Galaxy phones, Apple has lost approximately HALF those cases, and is currently seeking a stay in Germany so their product won't have to be pulled.  Second, the SIII DOES copy Siri, which was NOT an apple product at all, but from a company they bought, and is itself a copy of Vlingo, so DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT to tell me about apple innovation or others copying.  No, the Galaxy S III is not the only phone that can compete.  The SII pulled better numbers worldwide than the iPhone 4s.  Sorry to bring facts to the party.  "Droid" is a registered trademark of Lucasfilms, currently under license by Verizon.  If you mean ANDROID, they don't have 10s of phones.  THEY HAVE HUNDREDS.  This is PC versus Mac all over again.  And Apple's own earnings calls will tell you who won THAT war.  Like the iPhone all you want.  It was spectacular, awesome, amazing, ahead of its time, in 2007.  By 2010 it was getting stale, by 2011 it had been passed by a half dozen Android phones, and now in 2012 the refreshed version is looking like a stretched out iPhone 4s with an aluminum back.  Sorry, that is not much.  Enough for you, though.  You don't have very high standards, I guess.

@davedsone Like i said before, only so much you can do to a great phone. Thats what i mean by android users never being satisfied. And 4s isnt selling as much because that always happens in the third quarter. Everyone speculates about the new version comming out and decides to hold off for the new iphone. And even then 4s still sold 26mill in last quarter. And you got my point exactly. All these numbers that come out dont take top 3 droid phones. They account for every single droid phone. And like you said there are hundreds compared to 3 iphone models being sold now. Not to mention droid is on every single phone company out there. Compare to iphone in sprint, verizon and At&t. And now cricket and virgin, which i think wasn't the greatest of ideas. And even in those companies people are buying the phones for 500-650$ over 200 droid phones. Wait until iphone 5 comes out and blows out any phones out there put together. My email is gobigred68128@yahoo.com if you want to speak more. Im not saying droid phones suck by any means. Im just saying that maybe it should occur to you that most people are fine with the same thing and aren't always wanting change or something different. And im very satisfied with apple iphone.

 GOBIGRED2012  davedsone History says, time and time again, people are NOT satisfied by the same thing over and over.  But we have done this enough, and are just repeating ourselves.  I don't hang around this site, I actually got there through a link in Tmo News, I usually pay no attention to iPhones at all, as the users seem to be happy in their own little world, and it sounds like you are.  Your comment on how big screens are "supposed" to be got me to start arguing.  Whatever the i5 is, fine and dandy, because I'm not interested in owning one.  Time will tell if it was too little, too late.

 GOBIGRED2012  davedsone I'd love to see some evidence that the iPhone 4S was outsold by the Galaxy SII. As far as I understand no single phone sells more than the newest iPhone. If you have a link, I'd be grateful. 

TiP_Cam 64 pts moderator

 davedsone  GOBIGRED2012 Again, evidence needed to back this up. iOS/iPhone has actually gained market share over the past 6 months. Not bad considering the design is over two years old. Must be doing something right.

 TiP_Cam  GOBIGRED2012 Please see my top post.  I'm leaving, as I don't troll on sites for fun, I wound up here through Tmo News because I was interested to see what Apple would be laying out there next generation.  I don't care to stay here and continue this running battle.  The information is out there, I don't care if you look at it or not, but really, don't try to claim it's not happening.  Go ahead and look, after all, Jobs is dead, he won't be able to send the police after you for using Google.

Yep, not much evolution needed here.

From all the rumors and minor leaks that have been going about, I kinda expected it to look like this. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out a little different, but I doubt it, this is Apple we're talking about here. 

RaduTanasescu 32 pts

I really doubt this is the new iphone, there's a higher chance that iphone 5 will look like the 4 and 4s rather then that.

Samsung Galaxy S III here I come!

Nowhere near the amount of change when the 4 was released in comparison to the 3GS

Looks like an iPhone 4 & 4S just longer. No much evolution here.
