Next-Gen iPhone (iPhone 5?)

looks like they've also moved the headphone hole to the bottom which i quite liked being at the top

I haven't really looked at iphone plans in the past so does anyone know how much bill pay contracts will be increased to? I wouldn't buy the phone outside a contract as the internet, calls and texts would cost significantly more not to mention the iphone is usually expensive as it is and I'm not sure if company's allow people to buy insurance for a phone, 15 euro a month wouldn't be able to cover their arses.

Or they could just use micro usb like everyone else. No idea why they stick with their proprietary connector when literally everyone else uses micro usb on mobile devices.

Knowing Apple they will propably supply an adapter with the new iPhone. It would be a bit annoying if people have however many charging cables and can't use them anymore. I think Apple ship adapters with their Macs for HDMI connectivity (they used mini at one point) until it becomes a standard, so the same may happen here.

It did seem weird that iPhones have huge great holes in them for the power cable, it's one design issue that they seem to be focusing on now.

They could, but they like to inconvenience their users for the sake of individualism

Because then they can make a lot more money from accessories rather than you just using standard USB cables that everyone has. It's all a business plan!

It doesn't look like anything special, but I upgrade in November so I'll probably get one.

That aluminium (I assume) strip looks so tacky

Eww why are the headphones at the bottom? :S

The back of it looks like an old phone (not iphone) but the front looks like any other iphone
It's good that they've done something different to the back
