Next Gen iPhone 4G will Look Different

by Jay Garrett on February 22, 2010

This is what I’ve been expecting/hoping but now ‘industry experts’ are saying that the Apple iPhone 4G will look quite different from the iPhone 3GS.

Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes reckons that Apple “will try to change the game on everybody – it bothers them that everyone stole their form factor.”

I can totally see where he’s coming from and the fact that Apple has made a name for itself as being a ‘game changer’ the Appley one might be looking to make a leap rather than another minor tweak.

Let’s face it – Since its release in 2007 the iPhone’s exterior design hasn’t changed but still has become an icon.

In comparison, the iPod did change quite a lot in its first three years.

Would you prefer the iPhone to stay the shape that we’ve all come to know or love or, like me, hope for a change – kinda like the move from the original iMac to the lovely angular modern art pieces that the Apple desktops have become? Perhaps mirroring the MacBook in construction and feel?

C’mon Apple! The HTC Legend has actually beaten you to the aluminium unibody look!

Let me know below :)

Chatting to some of my buddies last week we discussed the importance of the next iPhone having a better camera and thought that the rumoured 5MP replacement was a good idea.

The point I made was that I could live with the 3MP version in exchange for a decent flash.

Hello – what is this? It looks like Apple may be looking for mass quantities of LED flash components to improve low-light shooting.

This latest rumour seems to point at the Philips’ LumiLEDs line and a contract thought to be in the tens of millions of units.

The flash would be a much welcomed addition to the iPhone and if coupled with that 5MP sensor – Ooooooo….. Kiss my face!
