~~~The official iPhone thread~~~

[eXtreme Burrito!]

I wouldn't mind micro USB. I really don't want a phone with a glass-back though.


Bring back the OG Metal please.

I'm skeptical because there's no way that's an Apple design. Big holes for the speakers, odd looking shape. That's not the next iPhone. We've had 2 runs of the iPhone 4 design, it's not going to be the same body.

lol I don't know shit really, but I just don't think that's it. There's been equally elaborate fakes released before, that's just the housing anyway and could be a prototype.

It could be an official prototype that will get canned later. It does look a bit shit. That screen is totally out of proportion with the body. Just doesn't look right.

What about all the people who have docking stations, iHome devices, everything that works off Apple's big fatty port... Those people will be butt fucked royally if they change it now.

the speaker design tipped me off too. no way that would fly at apple.

and there's no way they go with micro usb. it might be a different connector, but it will be something proprietary.

This is pretty much the reason why I think it's fake.

I think that Apple would be shooting themselves in the foot by changing it to a micro.

I know I'd be pissed just because I have like 5 chargers..

Not micro...new dock connector:

An updated "micro dock" would make room for bigger batteries, 4G radios, and other components far more important to the iPhone and iPad in a PC free world.

TONS of rumors for the last few months the connector was being changed.


Plus on the larger machined holes not being apple style?

Again if all this is fake...goddamn...these guys deserve a industrial job cause this is the least blurry cam, the most detailed, with schematics....that i have ever seen.


Of course as @Brains said....could be a prototype.

[Mcratz]

I'm just thinking of people with stereo's like I do. Changing the dock will mean that those items become useless with the new new iPhone .... so why would I change if it means that I would have to go out and buy a new stereo too?

And how many people would be in the same boat as me?
