iPhone 5 renders from TiPB look a lot like the Galaxy S II

[Doboji]

Still just rumors... but you can't deny the similarity.... wonder if Apple will sue them retroactively.

Yeah... they're about as similar as any phone you pick off the shelf. They're both rectangles with screens.

Since so many parts for the iP5 are sourced from Samsung, I can see how this came to pass

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

Never thought I'd say this of a recent Apple product, but it looks... ugly. The squircle in the home button looks wrong.

Seems thats enough to block sales in the EU...

Maybe the home button is not rectangular, but swipe-able, which is why rectangular cutout. Different actions for swiping left or right across the home button?

Yeah, but it looks so out of place... it's ugly.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Ok, so we're saying renders of the iPhone 5 are infringing on Samsung's IP?

this is just stupid...

 

[vshah]

no way apple would release a phone as ugly as those renders. plus that bezel is too thin. you need a reasonable bezel to protect against unwanted touch when holding the phone.

 

[kaerflog]

I must be the odd one because I find that rendering incredibly sexy.
If thats the IP5, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Those two phones look as similar as a bookcase and a dozen other bookcases that have been released in the last 18 months

was about to say the exact same thing.

I dig the thin bezel.

more like a giant ipod touch...but i still enjoy using mine

 

[ElFenix]

why would they change the squarish industrial design of the 4 to go back to something that looks more like the previous ones? i could see using a cheaper design for the icheap5 but the top of the line one? no.

haha yea but seriously it looks like a mini iPad 2. Like if I was to use a shrink ray on my iPad 2 the outcome would look like that. You couldn't say that about the iPad 1 lol.

IMO old iPhones look like ass compared to 4.
