It may be slightly bigger (0.2"), but it's also lower resolution than the iPhone 4. They can't increase the screen resolution, because they purposefully doubled the resolution in X & Y on the 4 so that it remained compatible with apps without having to do nasty scaling. Increasing the physical size without changing the resolution makes the pixels bigger, defeating the point of the retina display, so I'd say unlikely.
The flat back is a winner, the 4 feels so much better than the previous generations.
Still love the look/feel of the 4, makes the 3 feel like a fisher price offering when going back to one. I suspect I'll be swayed to changing to a 4s/5 (whichever this years is tagged as) at launch for simple financial reasons. I kept my 3 for 2 years and still sold it for £200 I don't expect the residual of the 4 due to the bad press over the antenna to be as good over the same period. Hence I'll jump while it's still worth something despite being perfectly happy with my 4 at the moment.

i love my 4. its one of the comfiest larger phones to hold. and its extremely well designed. its just a shame that putting a bumper round it ruins the feel imho. i know your signal bars still drop when holding the corner but does it actually affect the signal like it used to? i cant get it to loose signal completely just drop to 1 bar, and it still makes phone calls crystal clear when you do
The "strength" meter is not a good metric for measuring call quality, all the manufacturers could do everybody a favour and stop showing them, you're either connected to the network or you're not.
They're just a hang up from the analogue days...people have just come to expect to see them on a phone.

It's not there to measure call quality I agree, it's there to measure signal strength though, which is very relevant. If I have 1 bar I move to somewhere where I get 2or3 so that I have a better chance of not losing the other person half way through the call.
It's needed, hence why it's still on every phone!
What a ridiculous statement

- You didn't state where the source was from, which is why I questioned your laughable claim. So now that you've stated your "friend" works for Apple you can explain where? A shop? Call centre? Cupertino? Maybe he is Steve Jobs and you're chatting to him whilst he's off on sick leave? Basically, to sum it up for you, you're chatting s**t and you're "friend" doesn't know jack.
- Why should anyone bother reading the s**te you're poorly typing on a forum when you're obviously too f**king lazy and retarded to use a capital letter. At most it's two key strokes, not exactly rocket science or time consuming. Maybe your inside source "friend" could show you how it's done next time he's telling you trade secrets for one of the largest grossing brands to ever be created?
- See point 2, if you could be bothered to structure your sentences correctly people will be able to understand the drivel you type.

I love my iPhone 4, was the first in to Appple to get it after queuing all night! T'was amazing, £600 smackers for the 32GB! Woop!
Anyways, just wanted to ask where you got the Dell charger and Battery? Which seller on eBay, I have trust issues with eBay at the moment so would be good to know which seller was reliable for you!
Cheers.
p.s: I'm kinda hoping they don't release an iPhone 4S/5, I can't be asked to change phones again! I had the 3G, 3GS and have the 4!

Won't happen. Not massively larger anyway.
Any larger than 0.2 increase in size would drop the ppi below 300.

same here!!

It'll still be called a Retina Display, regardless of true ppi. Apple coined the term and it has nothing to do with the actual ppi of the display, just that it's high res. I reckon it's not the last you'll hear it, either. Retina MacBooks, Retina iPad 2 etc.
240ppi on an iPad will still be marketed as a Retina Display, IMO.

I disagree.
In my opinion its called the Retina Display because you literally can't see the pixels.
Therefor, if the ppi isnt what it should be, it wouldnt be a Retina Display anymore.

There is no magical 300 ppi limit as you claim. Retina display is a completely made up marketing term. It has no clear definition, and will be used by Apple to market any device they release in the future that they feel has a high enough resolution.
Apple is about to release an iPad 2 with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 which calculates to a ppi of 260, and they have every intention of marketing the device as having a Retina display.
If a display with a ppi of 260 can be considered Retina just because the device has a larger screen, why can't a device with a ppi of 285 be called Retina since the device will likewise have a larger screen?
The iPad won't be the last time you see the term either. I fully expect to see Macbook Pros, iMacs, and Cinema Displays with substantially higher resolutions in the future, and these devices will also likewise be marketed with a term Retina display, even though most of them will not have a ppi above 300 either, despite the substantial upgrade in resolution.
The vast majority of laptops, monitors, hdtvs have a dpi of around a 130 or so. If the screen looks sufficiently high res and the pixels sufficiently difficult to see, it doesn't actually matter the precise ppi number.
Retina display is a completely made up marketing term. It has no clear definition, and it can be used to mean whatever Apple wants it to mean.
