Apple’s new iPhone 5 was announced this week which attracted plenty of attention from Chinese netizens for whom Apple products are quite popular. On China’s popular microblogging service Sina Weibo, #iPhone5来了# (#iPhone5 is Here#) is currently still the #1 trending hashtag topic, with over 19 million mentions over the past week and millions of microblog mentions each day.

Despite featuring a larger screen and being both thinner and lighter than the previous iPhone 4S, the new iPhone’s features and improvements failed to convince most respondents in a Sina Weibo poll to consider buying it:

Red Side: Definitely Going to Buy = 7586
Blue Side: Not Considering Buying = 38439

While there is little doubt that Apple’s new iPhone 5 will still be coveted by many Chinese consumers and thus sell very well in China when it is released, Chinese netizens (like many other people around the world) could not help but notice that the new iPhone 5 with its taller/wider screen is basically just a longer iPhone. So what will future generations of iPhones be like?

Here are a collection of the better future iPhone photoshops that have circulated on the Chinese-language internet in response to the new iPhone 5…

Through her tireless translation of popular Chinese internet news and phenomenon, her English has apparently gotten dramatically better. At least, reading and writing-wise. Unfortunately, she's still not confident enough to have written this bio, about herself, by herself.
