where does he get "notably thinner" from? they look the same to me. I'd say the speaker is a slightly better design in that there's less chance an idle finger could silence it but apart from that ......... it's a little bit bigger

Is this thing due in september or october?
It is quite a bit thinner. If you look the 5 it's as thin as the metal band around the edge, where as on the 4 the glass sticks out each side
Rumour (and be sure to read that its a rumour and in no way confirmed) is an announcement on the 12th with release on the 21st of September. Although I think if it is the 12th then gadget news blogs should be getting invites in the next couple of days!

Yep, same with me, however the old girl is getting a new battery to keep her going for the final month or so!

I hope I dont prove to be wrong here but theres been a lack of IOS6 Beta's... The reason for this I HOPE is that apple have thrown in some software suprises that they maybe are hoping will save this iphone 5 mixed reception (if current leaks are proven to be real)
Its a good hint that perhaps a UI design refresh may still come. There are hints of this with the phone app and the ipod/store looks..
Pulling at strings but I hope it turns out to be true.

Indeed. I hope they do something "interesting" with the extra screen "real-estate" (hate that word), having an extra row of icons would be pretty dull to say the least
Yeah but the metal band is thicker on the 5. It might be thinner but it must be a tiny amount if it is.

The new one has this new in-cell screen thingy which reduces the number of layers required to produce a touchscreen - thus reducing the overall depth and weight.
Has anyone seen this

The guy has the prototype and switches it on, looks pretty real to me.
The video is towards the bottom of the page

I'd say fake. As a picture is shown of a prompt to plug it into iTunes to activate even though that was done away with in iOS5
Oh yeah I forgot about that, although the actual phone itself looks real, some time you still get that connect to itunes thing though if its been corrupted or wiped?
Not sure if that's real but the screen shape just looks really awkward. I just wish they had backed down on their 300+ ppi thing and stretched it out to 4.3" it would looks fine. A long screen with centred apps for the foreseeable doesn't sound too good.

My thoughts exactly.
because its a prototype ? and only people with cable can actually test it out?
