    We’ll only definitely find out when the new iPhones are announced in September. Apple never releases details ahead of time.

    I'm not sure an extra 1-2 mm are really such a bad thing, especially on the lower cost LCD iPhone. Most people will have them in bulky cases and it probably won't be noticeable.

    Cases take away from the experience. I've only ever used my iPhone with zero protection. The style and design is beautiful without a case or screen protector. Get the AppleCare+ and you're set.
