iPhone 5 Photos Show Off Taller Screen, Mini Dock, Metallic Back
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 might well mean we now have our hands on what the Korean company behind it label as the best smartphone currently at market, but that doesn’t mean for one second the iPhone 5 rumour mill doesn’t also get us all hot under the collar. The next-generation iPhone is still the phone of the year and, judging by these images publicised by website 9 To 5 Mac of what they believe to be the new white and black versions of the handset, it’s going to be one hell of a looker.

Love And Hate Of The Samsung Galaxy S3
So the Samsung Galaxy S3 announcement has come and gone in a daze of applause, orchestral accompaniment and Suzi Perry. Many of the rumours and speculation we collected were correct, the stage was set for the 'biggest smartphone announcement of the year,' and we got a phone which is primed to be a rather huge success in the high-end Android device market.
But some of us aren't buying into this new 'nature' visage, seeing the new Galaxy, its design cues and software implementations as quite the disappointment. Is this the final, rather laughable nail in the coffin of originality? Or is this to be the best smartphone of the year? Two editors debate.

Samsung To Unveil The Galaxy S II’s Successor On May 3rd
Given the hugely positive reception and the unbridled success of the Galaxy S II, which had accumulated 20 million units sold by February 2012, the S III fire has been burning brightly for quite some time now. In the past few months, we’ve seen mock-ups of the smartphone’s ‘final’ design – usually replete with some monstrously-large gleaming screen (the Galaxy Note?) and little to no buttons of any kind – allowed ourselves to become overly-excited by the round of rumours circulating the inter-tubes, and even seen what many considered to be the finalised spec sheet. Now, we have a set-in-stone date for it to be unveiled to the public.
