Unibody iPhone

If this is the new iPhone 5:
I'm surprised, frankly. They had a chance to finally bring the iPhone up to par with the modern expectation for size and thinness, but if this is it, they kind of blew it (of course, not to Apple fanatics, who will declare it god-like regardless).
TheTechBlock has a fascinating write-up on the industrial design aspects of this unibody prototype. To me, it's way too elaborate to be a hoax. It's probably close to what it's gonna end up looking like.
Honestly, my HTC One S is about as slim (it's incredibly thin) and elegant as they come right now. I think it's way more sexy than this unibody thing that Apple might be doing.

I have to say it's not very, well, elegant. It looks like a step backwards in product quality from the 4S.
That being said, I still prefer my GS3 over my iPhone, and if that's an indicator of the new design, my sentiments won't be changing. Thin, light, and massive beautiful screen win out over industrial design every time.
It's roughly the same design they've had for the last 2 or 3 versions, and some of their customers are noticing and getting bored.
My Galaxy S2, while not revolutionary, is light and thin, with an enormous display, whereas the iPhone is heavy, small, and clunky.
Really?
personally I don't like "too thin" on cell phones. I want some weight.
No surprise, I guess, since Sony inspired some of the iPhone's design.
I think it was the article Prime linked that said something like "people buy new accessories with their phone, anyway." In the case of iPhones, that's total bullshit. The whole idea of the "standard" connector is that it works with all iPhone accessories, your next iPhone, and your buddy's iPhone.
