This is a great guess that makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. A simple elongation of the phone really doesn't fit in any mental model I have of Apple's design decisions.
- shinratdr 14y agoWhy do you say that? It makes sense to me. Apple just isn't into changing stuff like that for changes' sake. Here, there is very little downside. You get more screen space for lists and pages in portrait, proper 16:9 in landscape, your thumb doesn't have do do more work or travelling, and UI elements aren't blown up or shrunk, all while satisfying the public's demand for a bigger screen. Seems pretty perfect to me, and moreover it is already set in stone. We've seen the iPhone 5, it's the two tone metal casing design that's floating around. It'll be longer, the glass parts make that clear. Assuming otherwise is just hoping blindly against the evidence. Every time there has been a big leak like this regarding Apple, it ends up proving to be the final design. Happened with the fat Nano, happened with the iPhone 4 and it has happened again with the 5.
