How will the new iPhone 5 shape up compared to the iPhone 4S? Find out in this cool new concept video, which puts the two phones side-by-side and spins them every which way.
We've seen the inside and outside of the new iPhone as photos of components leak in dribs and drabs. But now they've been assembled in a video placing 3D models of the two phones side-by-side.
The good folks at 3D-desk.com, who create three-dimensional animated models for your perusal, drew on industry rumours, strategic logic -- and "a bit of wild guessing" -- to flesh out their hypothetical iPhone.
The video shows the difference in scale between the current model and the hotly anticipated new iPhone, including the new smaller dock connector and headphone jack moved to the bottom. Hit play below to see the two phones spinning in space without a care in the world:
Leaked photos reveal the new iPhone to be taller than the current model when you hold it normally, or wider when you turn it sideways to landscape orientation.
The screen will apparently measure 4 inches across and boast a resolution of 640x1,136 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning no more black bars when you watch movies and TV and allowing your video to make the most of the screen. The extra space on the screen is also enough for an extra row of icons on the home screen.
There's no guarantee this is what the new iPhone will look like, of course. In fact, the animated animators behind this video also speculate Apple could keep the screen the same, rather than forcing app developers to change the layout of apps.
If you're wondering what the new iPhone would look like if the screen stayed the same size and it just got thinner, check out this video:
What do you think of the look of the new iPhone? Are the expected changes smart thinking by Apple, or does the iPhone have other problems that haven't been addressed here? Tell me your thoughts in the comments or on our Facebook page.

apple should make a flip iphone

Anyone want to play spot the difference?
So it's taken them a year, possibly longer to come up with that design?
Goodbye Crapple.

Looks ok. Im waiting to see the new Windows 8 Lumia phones. Windows phone has tons of potential, I just wish more people would get behind it

@Michael Ernst - These aren't official pics released by apple, they still haven't shown or announced the iPhone 5, besides that the fake concept here looks much better then 95% of smart phones out there, so good bye your opinion :p

Dear Santa...
anonymous 17 August, 2012 08:53
tbf it does look so much better and anonymous 04:26 speaks the whole truth here. these aren't official pictures from apple and its still going to be one of the top smart phones out there whether you like it or not. it does also look a lot better than many many other phones on the market at the moment so just cos you don't like apple @Michael Ernst doesnt mean everyone else doesnt. obvs a silly android fan boy.
anonymous 17 August, 2012 10:24
iphone 4s looks better then iphone 5. design is ok but important thing is features.
anonymous 17 August, 2012 11:26
To the guy who thinks hes god he knows who he is because you are just a silly apple FANGIRL, @michael ernst didnt say everyone else shouldnt like it did he NO HE DIDNT and to the other person (fool) apple FANGIRL why should he say goodbye to his opinion as you said its there opinion. You dont have opinions you obviously know EVERYTHNG! In MY OPINION i think apple products are great devices but to boaring and limited if you go with android you have a huge range of devives. Dont try and repond to this apple heads you will only get owned again. Everybody have a great day

We don't really know if there has been any posthumous input from Steve Jobs, he may left ideas or plans of what he wants the new 5 to look like before he died.
Remember, Jobs was the man behind the ergonomics and aesthetics of the products so who knows what it will look like, it could even look as bad as a Nokia smartphone. Apple have designed some of the sleekest and most beautiful looking devices over the years and I can't imagine they will stop now.

Jobs did sweet FA in terms of the aesthetics! A Brit was in charge of that!
He was just an arrogant salesman

@anonymous 11:26 ooooo someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. you need to calm down mate. just because you know apple is better than your beloved andriod you have to go off on one and use CAPITAL LETTERS every so often. get back in your pram.

"Remember, Jobs was the man behind the ergonomics and aesthetics of the products so who knows what it will look like, it could even look as bad as a Nokia smartphone."
....I think you'll find the guy behind the design of apple products is Jonathan Ive no Jobs!

Its kinda stupid how every single article about iPhone or Android phones becomes a shouting and insult match between the fans of each.... To each his own! If your one of those people who hate being called a fandroid or isheep, how bout you not call everyone else that. It just eggs people on.

anonymous 18 August, 2012 06:02
Are u serious? i am not buying!
anonymous 18 August, 2012 14:21
The award for most intelligent post goes to... Anonymous 16:36. To the petulant children slagging, I hope posting made you feel good, but we all know what you accomplished.
That said, I will get the new iPhone because I can't afford not to. I plan on staying with my carrier and upgrading, because used iPhones sell for much more than the upgrade cost. What does that say about them...?
anonymous 20 August, 2012 15:23
I swear to god if they put the headphone jack on the bottom, I will spit chips.
anonymous 24 August, 2012 17:17
I think Apple need a new designer, or Jonathan Ive must work harder! i can design more beautiful and useful phones! god damn it apple!
