You just said taste is subjective then called me shallow. For real, bro? If taste is subjective then why are you commenting on my subjective feelings for the design of the back of the phone?
I apologise for wanting the phone to look nicer. I hope I can live your life where ugly things are preferred to beautiful things.
Feature-wise this release sounds great with Homekit, Healthkit, pay-by-touch stuff coming, probably better photos with big lens and big screen. Add fast wifi and new cpu. 
On the industrial design I'm not that sure.... disproportionally thick bands and protruding lens. Let's hope for some high points in design as well.

The bands in general are ugly but I'm glad to see that they've colored them the same as the back. This looks much better than the earlier part leaks. I assume the silver and gold backs will get the same treatment and it won't look as horrible as it did with white bands.
In the same way I really like the hand feel of the iPad Air and mini, because of the rounded sides, I'm guessing I'll like the iPhone in hand. My only concern is that without a case it may be slippery to hold.
I held Moto's yet to be released new X or whatever it will be called and that was my same comment - that without an edge case, it was slippery (it has a metal frame, maybe stainless).
I hate using cases and I won't even be able to get our real wood wraps on the edge as is possible with the current 4 iPhone models.

Hah!
I was thinking that hipsters would go nuts for it bc everyone is commenting on how ugly they think it is.
I love how so many people always find things to hate about the new iPhones every year when the leaks start rolling out but come conference time the RDF will be cranked up to full blast and it won't be a problem anymore.
I expect most of the 'haters' to be lining up in droves to purchase one. Works every time.

I agree, I don't see the point of a case. It's kind of like buying a Ferrari and then driving around with a cover over the top....defeats the purpose.
How does this leak prove they're any more real than the other leaks did? It's pretty much the same part leak we've seen over and over the past several months. Either we're not seeing a final (or legit) part or if we are the reason for it will be revealed on 9.9.
Jony Ive's description of the white bands
"We have always thought about design as being so much more than just the way something looks. It's the whole thing: the way something works on so many different levels. Ultimately, of course, design defines so much of our experience."
really? what would the silver one look like then. same back just different colored front? i imagined the bands to be colored black on the space grey one
"rumors have suggested" is the phrase to use. Not expected. It's just an overall better way to say it. You've used in an other article, about time you use it always.
Apple, rumors have suggested, will announce the iPhone 6
That's not so hard to write now it is?

Edit: I REALLY hope those bands belong only to that clone and not to the real deal...
If that's true then we've been suffering in vane watching goophone's pics all along.
Meanwhile in Apple HQ, everyone else laughing.

There were some other leaks posted by 9to5Mac last week that showed a grey back with black bands, though the bands were thinner than these. IF this is a legit part and it's what the back of the phone will look like I'm curious to know why the bands are so thick. They're thicker than the bands on the 4 & 5. I can't see Apple choosing them for aesthetic reasons.
The words space grey have gone from the article now. If this was the black version wouldnt the area where the camera is be black and not white?
