iPhone 5 Screen Leaked - Shows Bigger Screen for Gaming and more

How much better can the iPhone get in today’s competitive market? The iPhone 4 is a beast, clearly, but arguably the best smart phone and mobile gaming device in the market, but what else can Apple introduce to give the next iPhone the edge in today’s competitive world? How about a bigger screen without changing the size of the phone? A better gaming experience indeed.

Nintendo 3DS vs NGP vs iPhone 5

[TheOldOne]

Touchscreen gaming sucks. Buttons FTW.

[Pixel_Enemy]

Buttons and touchscreen together for the win.

[blumatt]

Buttons and touchscreen AND REAR TOUCHPAD (and gyroscope and accelerometer) together for the win. lol The NGP has all that! The NGP will be the most robust, capable portable gaming platform and will appeal to the hardest of hardcore gamers down to the most casual of casual gamers.

[talltony]

I am so glad i just skipped the iphone 4 last year because this is the first real significant upgrade since the iphone has been out. Day 1 for me, my 3gs wont even stay on anymore without my battery case powering it.

[Active Reload]

Their mock up kinda sucks though. They're only showing it as having a taller screen instead of taller and wider. It'd be a better idea if Apple, if this is real, made it a 5 inch screen to go along with the 5 meaning 5th gen. I'd personally be interested in it.

[deltaforce82]

I have a lot of games for my iPhone, but I have to agree that buttons are much better.

[Redman22]

If it's on Macrumors or Appleinsider it's usually true.

[RurouniKaze]

well said yo'

[Biggest]

Who told this writer that the iPhone is arguably the best smart phone on the market? The other smart phones are smart enough to actually work no matter how you hold them. The other smart phones are more powerful and have equal features, or in some cases much better features. I think that the iPhone and iPad are both poster children for consumers being sold on an item rather than choosing to buy an item.

It is never about the specs of the hardware or what it is capable of, it is more about the package. User interface is key, and that is what Apple excels at.

As much as I dislike the iPhone (for being the only smartphone platform for getting Mass Effect) and hating Apple, I got to give it to Apple they know user interfaces!

Android is nice, but the user interface still doesn't match up to iPhone and WP7 get's closer, but is not as pretty.

[nveenio]

Look again, man. They do show it wider, but their mockup (and that "leaked" image) are really stupid. LCD and LED screens need a right and left edge. These mockups don't leave room for that.

Apple doesn't have room to make a larger screen without changing the aspect ratio or size of the phone. A different aspect ratio will make development harder, and a larger device is not what iPhone users want. I like my iPhone, even though it's not "cool" to my gaming friends. And I think that people carrying those gigantic Android devices look ridiculous. I don't even have pockets big enough for that.

[Bear_Grylls]

APPLE = FAILER

[Biggest]

"what it is capable of"

That SHOULD be what matters here. It's a phone that doesn't work well. I understand what you mean about the interface and I agree that the Apple interface is very well done. I own an iPod touch for that reason. However, I would never rely on the iPhone because it isn't capable of working well unless I hold it in Apple's new definition of "the right way" while other phones don't have a problem with any way close to proper.

[Dagobert]

Agreed. I'm not liking this whole new tablet wave and touchscreen shit. I honestly wouldn't mind if they got rid of it from the PSP2 but that's just me.

[gamingdroid]

"capable of" doesn't mean jack squat if it isn't implemented and seeing Android being in the market for so long, I don't forsee major changes there.

With that said, the antenna problem is a mistake once in a blue moon. You don't think other carriers do? My HTC HD7 also has the antennae problem and I bet you other phones do too. iPhone just happens to be the single biggest one.

[Soldierone]

Apple can pretend the Iphone/Itouch is a gaming device all they want. Real gamers know it isn't true.

They are making a HUGE mistake if they take the portability away and try too hard to compete with real handheld gaming devices. Go ahead, trying playing any game with touch screens it sucks. Notice how racing games usually take the gas and break away from you? Notice how its 90 percant complete casual games? There is a reason Sony and Nintendo wont abandon buttons.

Then again Apple cant even make a phone where it has a stable connection whereever you hold it.

[Vherostar]

I agree touchscreen for most gaming does suck. As for this screen probably fake as with the ipad games would need to be redesigned to fit new size screen.

[TheOneWhoPwnsYou]

Xperia Play vs iPhone 5 you mean?

[Rush]

Dude it's just a bloody Xperia with a flip-out keypad and a Playstation app that doesn't even allow you to play PSP games.

If it even sells 1/3rd as well as the Samsung galaxy S I will eat my own ass hole.

If it even sells 1/10th the amount of the Iphone 5 I will eat my own head.

And don't give me the Quality=/=Sales because if the past is anything to go by Apple wins there also.

[firefoxprime]

I'm sorry, but this article lost me right....HERE.

"but arguably the best smart phone and mobile GAMING device in the market"

No. Just...no.

[silvacrest]

everything you said except the PSP stuff could be considered a plus, xperia = android, slide out gaming keyboard = win, playstation suite app = win

you seem to have this idea about what the xperia play is, while your entitled to your opinion, i think your wrong

once the the PS suite takes off that alone will make it sell well, then you have the android fans who will be interested in this, then the people who play games on their touchscreen phones who think it sucks and would rather have hardware keys

you might need to open your mind and see past what you want but what others may want

personally, the xperia play is a day one purchase for me

[jeseth]

Apple = No Exclusives. Fail.

Nintendo = Tons of Exclusives = Win.

PSP2? NGP = Tons of Exclusives = Win.

iPhone5 will be for suckers/people who need to maintain their social status. Apple does not deliver the hardware for the prices they charge and I don't see them changing for gamers.

The HTC Evo 4G is already better than an iPhone5 or 5 for that matter.

[hellzsupernova]

agree and buttons i need buttons!!!! lol

[Vherostar]

Apple technically has over a million exclusives...

[deafwing]

dont' think the device was every meant for hard core gamers to begin with ... they hit a market that don't touch systems that we do ... you know like your boss, and older people who don't mind playing something on their phone while on the train/commuting ... they don't expect them to go trophy/achievement hunting ... the device would be fine for them; for us ... not so much.

[bakasora]

They need to make a iPhone XL, like NDS XL

[B-312]

It's called iPad.

[jeseth]

And for $600 bucks you get 3 year old tech with 8 GB of space and no wifi. Ripoff.

But if you need to feel cool, the ipad will make you feel cool . . . except you aren't because you need something with an apple logo on it to do so.

[Silly Mammo]

iPhone has become the COD/Madden of cell phones. Annual releases with a few new features with each new edition. YAWN!

[diehardgamer1000]

lmao!! tru dat

[beardpapa]

this is confirmed fake in many apple forums. there are clone stamps everywhere.

also, why the hell does the title include gaming? Is this flamebait or something? I thought nobody cared about phones being portable gaming devices. Are you phone haters so naive to believe that portable phones are seriously competing against something like the PSP2 or 3DS?

[Brash_Attack]

I'm excited for the whole phone to get leaked. I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but I love my iPhone 4.

[SpaceFox]

Me too, love my iPhone 4 but tbh I couldnt care less about the 5. No way Im upgrading, perfectly content with my 4.

[lil Titan]

ill wait and see what they are going to offer even though i know its a better cam and probably (and im hoping) 5x faster than the 4 (finger crossed) and antenna moved!!! i mean i can sell my iPhone 4 for the upgrade cash with some walk around dough so...

[Brash_Attack]

I'm definitely upgrading. My girlfriend's dad always does the early upgrade and buys the new one for 500 and sells his old one on eBay for 700. He always profits so I plan on doing that.

[deafwing]

@spacefox
but you will get a 6 I'm sure and the guys who have the 5 will say they are not getting the six and the cycle continues as apple continues to pound us hard

hey I still have a 3G ... holding out for a sweet spot is rough :D

[Rush]

There's on average 80 Android handsets release in the same time as one iPhone and people are complaining about Apple releasing many....

[Bear_Grylls]

Yep all you guys that bought the IP 1,2,3,4 what ever. You will still be the same bunch of Apple nipple suckers that will be linning up at midnight with you $1000+ to slapdown on the newest Apple POS that does nothing new over the last one.

OOOHHHH look it has a bigger screen and 4 more gigs memory, OMFG! I NEED IT NOW.

EDIT @ Rush.

Dude Andriod is an OS and Iphone's are phones... There is a big difference dude. Almost any phone can run Android. Only Apple makes the Iphone.

[silvacrest]

there are something like 10 to 15 manufacturers making android phones while apple just has apple...which is their choice btw

[Zydake]

I still got my 3GS waiting for that 5 to upgrade.

[deafwing]

@Rush

I can of agree .. the yearly updates is insanity and unfair ... but the thing is they make a ton of money everytime they change the phone; the problem may well be people who just like having the latest tech and wouldn't be caught dead with with an older device ...

I actually held my IPod Gen 3 ( http://www.batteriesformp.c... for 4 years ... people thought I was crazy .. I was like "it can still play music"

[Chupa-Chupa]

I wonder if it will have 3D capability.. Bigger anything is always better. ;)

[blumatt]

That's what she said. haha I kid, I kid. Be nice to my bubbles. ;)

And to plb below, I agree. Buttons are very important, and I mean physical, tangible buttons.

[Active Reload]

If thats you in the picture, call me :D

[MGRogue2017]

... I just want to get my hands on that Sony NGP..

[Kalowest]

Same here, but i also want a 3DS. NGP&3DS is all the Handheld gaming i need.

[--------]

-

[plb]

And it still doesn't have buttons so who cares except Apple fanboys who would likely buy an iPoop if Jobs took a squat and shat one out.

[ThatIrishGamer]

Now now. Don't be raging because you can't afford these high end goods.

Just you stick to your Nokia 3210.

[darrensworld]

LMAO! Great response, Nokia lmao!

[awiseman]

Gayphone is nothing special, there is nothing special about having last gen hardware selling at next prices of course apple fanboys like you will happily bend over to recieve. Only thing good about the gayphone is the oled screen which is the equivalent of connecting a wii to an hd Tv...

[silkrevolver]

...Bigger screen while keeping the iPhone 4’s size. That’s one of my favorite things about it... it’s not bulky at all, and fits in your pocket like it should.

[pneboy]

i think its fake, look at the top part of what should be the phone, its on a slant

[littlebigmarcpsps3]

only care about NGP
already got ipt4 and ip4 no more upgrade for me

[Black102WingS]

NGP pawns this.

[Kon]

Because this is a phone, and the other is a handheld. you lost.

[Black102WingS]

They call it a phone when I have friends who own iphones and they told me the call connections sucks.lol pawned

[Eamon]

what

[Sitdown]

I must have missed it....can you post the Sony release regarding the NGP making and receiving phone calls. I would also like more info about the number of apps in its marketplace

[slapshot63]

Can you post where it says the iPhone can make and receive calls?

Zing.

[HappyTrigger]

Wait....... what? lol!

[Zydake]

idk man I just read it also lol lets just move along.

[Eamon]

hahaha

[ugo]

whats the essence, if it dosent have buttons

[chadwarden]

People need to stop considering the iphone in handheld gaming discussions. Its a phone for casual gaming...not a full blown gaming handheld.

[Sitdown]

As somebody who owns a PSP, plans on getting an NGP, and has never owned an iphone...I am completely okay with the iphone being discussed in handheld gaming. Not only is this device handheld, but you yourself admit that you can game on it. Gaming is a general term..and many things can fall under the category.

[chadwarden]

But the 3DS and NGP aren't in the same category as the iphone. The 3DS and NGP are purpose built mainly for games that give the experience of a console game on the go. The Iphone wasn't made for those types of games.

[clrlite]

Then I will have to buy another one in 6 months or people will think i'm a looza. I don't play that game. I'm sure it will be nice(they always are), but I usually invest as much money as I can rather than dishing it out for something I don't need. NGP seems like more of an investment to me.

@Chad above,
Well said, I was waiting for people to bring that up.

[Bounkass]

Ugly SOB.

[batguyz]

lol apple should just make a FULL portable gaming device already and stop messing around with making bigger screen,who wants to play a game without tactile buttons really?

[darrensworld]

Millions of people.

[SuperSaiyan4]

If you all look at the iPhone interface and the icons its been the SAME since the first iPhone!

Now looking at Windows 7 phones amazing interface, incredibly fast boot up AND play games with Xbox Live.

[darrensworld]

Too bad it's flopping around like a dying fish. Don't tell me how many units "shipped" either. Lol.

[Bear_Grylls]

You sir are an Apple fanboy.

End.

[Cartesian3D]

ow.. honey

[RurouniKaze]

look man, windows phones dont even start to compare you xbox fanboys dont know the line.

dont mean to break your heart but um, xbox is shit.

[gamingisnotacrime]

hurry apple followers pre order and upgrade for the yearly small upgrade!!!

[DelbertGrady]

Apple followers are almost as pathetic as the Playstation sheep.

[gamingisnotacrime]

yep
but we PS fans are getting a great ride

[DJMarty]

Iphone sucks

[frankiebeans]

OMG A HALF INCH OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!
I GOTTA GET THIS!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG !!
THIS IS JUST PURE GENIUS HOW DOES APPLE DO IT?!?!!

[FantasyStar]

Lol, some Apple fanboys got trolled ;)

[Bear_Grylls]

It really is pathetic to see what the Apple sheep will slap down $1000+ for.

No new inovation.

Like he said

OMG HALF AN INCH BIGGER OMFG.

[RyuCloudStrife]

you wish you could grow your johnson by half inch.... just sayn

[silvacrest]

what in the world has that got to do with anything related?

[SSKILLZ]

NGP >

[wissam]

The price will be 1500 dollars.

[RurouniKaze]

i get ya

[jay2]

Oh big deal................ Considering 'laming' this, pointless.... The iPhone 5 will have a bigger screen, haven't all the iPhones had bigger screens?

[Passthemic]

Obvious Photoshop is obvious.

[sickbird]

they better get this out quick, i still have the 3GS and while it works fine its getting very beat up. Im not gonna get 4 if 5 is right around the corner.

[TheOneWhoPwnsYou]

Dude, iPhone games are really nothing special. I've played em. They got boring... A lot of them were ports anyways.

[Undeadwolfy]

I can seriously believe that this is what the next iPhone will be like. Why? Cos Apple have a reputation for not doing much with each iteration and a simple larger screen update pretty much fits the bill.

Watch them say how this will revolutionise SOMETHING.. ¬¬

[Duki2Lime]

Awesome news is awesome. Time to replace my current 3gs.

[Close_Second]

Heck, give me Android portable gaming over iOS any day.

[Dagobert]

Oh screw you Apple. Now I'm not one of those Apple hating Microsoft fanboys or anything, I like the iPhone but fuck damn seriously? The iPhone 5 already? Not even a year has passed that I got the iPhone 4. They pump out a new iPhone model like every 3rd quarter or some shit. I know it's not released yet but looking at past leaks, we're looking at an iPhone 5 announcement in a couple of months probably.

[Zancruz]

That's because the iPhone 4 is a piece of shit, people need to wake up... Apple purposely keeps key wanted items out of their products so they can redesign it and sell it later and people will line up to get another flawed phone... But hey its a Stylish Apple product and thats what people really want, a Symbol of Status!

[Qbanj69]

Anybody have a spare/broken 3GS?

[joffa81]

i have an iPhone 4 and must admit its the first iPhone that i think is worth owning. all the previous versions have not interested me due to the lack of a front facing camera, low MP rated camera and lack high resolution screen and video recording. the iPhone 4 is the first complete smartphone apple have released.

as to if the next iphone will be worth buying ?
going on Apple`s track record i doubt it as in the past there has been such a small update as its not been worth the money to get the latest iphone.

the next iphone will most likely be a marginal update to the iphone 4 with a slightly better camera and a slighlty bigger screen and to me NGP is a better investment than a slighly improved iPhone that does all i have now with the iPhone 4.

sorry Apple but im giving the next iphone a miss !!!

[josephayal]

FAKE!

[Mike1094]

Don't get too excited folks, the top half of the phone looks very fishy to me, it looks almost crooked...

[rezzah]

I still think the NGP would run this into the ground, it has buttons and touchscreen so best of both worlds.

[DundahMifflin]

I'm sorry, but what a fanboyish comment. It's like the "3DS will kill all iPhone's, Androids and PSP!" comments I see all over the Internet.

[rezzah]

Maybe right but I did mention something worth taking note. The fact that NGP uses both buttons and touchscreen AND (forgot to include) pad.

Its like comparison of the kinect and move. Where the kinect may be limited in genre styles due to the lack of action options caused by there being no buttons, only motion.

The move itself has, lets just say 6, buttons with the ability to control with motion.

The situation is similar between the NGP and the Iphone 5. However i do not doubt the Iphone for most likely having a better interenet connection and the fact that you can call people.

For gaming purposes the NGP is much more likely to be the winner.

[KaiokenKid]

I wonder how much of a upgrade this thing will be over Iphone 4. Im wondering if im gonna want to buy the new Iphone or just get Iphone 4 when it drops in price after this comes out?

[ATiElite]

Sure the iphone is one hell of a product but at this point what will an iphone 5 do or have that really justifies the price? iphone is the Modern warfare of the tech industry. same thing different number on the end.

[DundahMifflin]

Y'all know this is a fake, right? Look at the top bar. It's slanted.

Anyways, this was on MacRumors yesterday, and was quickly spotted as a fake. As an iPhone 4 owner, I'll gladly upgrade instead of waiting for an iPhone 6, that is, if there is a 5" screen.

[Incipio]

Pssshh, what's it at now, like 995 x 560?

Unless they reduced the pixel density slightly and just stretched 960 x 540 over a bigger screen...

[bunfighterii]

I've had a iPhone 4 for like 6 months and already iPhone 5 is coming out? WTF?

[pcz]

psp2 obsolete then

[Incipio]

Not even a chance of that being truth.

[pcz]

lol well that is the market psp2 is going for. i dont think it will compete

[GrumpyVeteran]

I just told my friends we probably can't expect an Iphone 5 until early mid 2012.

well, I hope they don't see this article

[TwistedMetal]

If apple was smart they would create a controler attachment so that you can just snap it around the ipod and it would look like psp/gba and still have touch functionality.

[Pikajew]

loliphoneusedforgaming

[TheBreezyBB]

Wow anyone who thinks of Iphone as gaming platform is an Idiot.

[midgard227]

uuummmm iphone games suck, who cares if its made for gaming, psp ds, 3ds and psp2 are Leagues better than this junk when it comes to portabl gaming

[SephireX]

Who cares? Get an NGP or 3DS if you want portable gaming devices. Android all the way!

[Guitardr85]

no HTC EVo love?? It's WAAAAAY better then the iphone!

[miami90]

LOL....I remember when those iPhone 4 people kept saying that the Droid and Evo screens were TOO big, now they can say "APPLE, THE INNOVATORS OF THE LARGE SCREEN PHONE."

[Big_Dom]

Yes, the iPhone 5 - available for the super low price of just 600 quid. What the fuck happened to a phone being a fucking phone? You know, to make calls with? Because that's all I want my phone doing. If I want a gaming system, I'll save myself a few hundred and buy a 3DS. If I want a phone, I'll buy something affordable that functions to make calls with, and not something that requires a fucking mortgage to purchace.

[silvacrest]

why is this even news? a bigger screen you say? wow...... so amazing.....

i would be more impressed with buttons

[ASSASSYN 36o]

That is a fake pic. The bezel line at the top nearest to the screen is way off.
