Top Rated iPhone 5 Designs:Check Out Brand New iPhone 5 Looks

The iPhone has looked exactly the same since it was released in 2007. In smartphone world, 5 years is a very long time to go by, without a major design overhaul. Though there are millions of iPhone purists who will still want the iPhone 5 to look like the iPhone 4S, we also think that there will be millions of others who share the same sentiments as us in terms of expecting an iPhone that has a completely new form factorThe iPhone 5 might not be arriving any time soon, but that hasn’t stopped artists and design firms from creating their own mock-ups.

After analyzing the various iPhone 5 rumors, Italian designer Federico Ciccarese came up with these gorgeous renders.
Ciccarese’s vision of the iPhone 5 predicts a slightly curved back. The body of the phone, in fact, looks similar to Apple’s Magic Mouse. The display is flat and “retina” in nature and the phone tapers off at the top and bottom.


The headphone jack has moved to the side to accommodate the new design and the back looks to be blasted aluminum, similar to what is used on the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac.

 This isn’t the first time Ciccarese has mocked up his own version of future Apple products. In addition to previously trying to design the fifth-generation iPhone (what would become the iPhone 4S), Ciccarese has also taken on concepts such as the iScreen, his vision of the rumored integrated television from Apple.
 We love the way the mockup details the glowing Apple on the back of the phone. It’s the sort of design touch that we think Jony Ive and company could even appreciate.
What do you think of these mockups?

Most people waiting on the iPhone 5, probably including yourself, have already decided that the iPhone 5 is going to be released in the summer of 2012, which is just a few months away. However, those people should understand that the iPad 3 is long overdue, which will of course mean that the iPad will come ahead of the iPhone 5.

Some people are saying or maybe just expecting that Apple will release both the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 at the same time.

That is just a ridiculous claim 

as there is no way Apple is going to release two really high profile products on the same day. 

The reason of course is that the average customer will usually be willing to spend about $300 – $600 on one premium Apple product, not two at the same time.


If the iPhone 5 release date is not going to be in the coming summer months, it will of course mean that it can only get postponed to October or September of 2012. There is even that small but slight chance that the iPhone 5 will only be released in 2013! That would however probably not go down very well with the waiting public, we would think.

Analysts who follow the Apple stock are saying that it would be financially very wise for Apple to release the next iPhone at the end of 2012, as opposed to the summer months, as a year end release would mean brisk holiday sales. No gadget sells more during the holidays than the iPod or the iPhone. The iPod is well past its glory days which means that the iPhone’s release date could officially get bumped to the fall dates, like how it did with the iPhone 4S.

When the iPhone 5 is released, whatever date it may be on, it is expected to have 4G LTE speeds, an improved 10-13 MP camera, a dual core or quad core processor, at least 1GB of RAM and an enlarged battery as well.
