Alleged iPhone 6 Prototype Depicted in New Images

The design is quite similar.

I'd say it looks more like the HTC One with a Apple style home button.

This looks like a great concept minus the fact the bezel makes it look like an S4. I don't think it's real. The logo looks kind of off from the top where it usually rests and the FCC logo is suspect since it would be too early to start placing it on the shell unless we were close to launch.

Still, a great render.

Imagine JI on the screen saying that it took us 2 years to get the components to come down for this groundbreaking design :)..then someone yells out..No you just shrunk the Ipad Air and had the phone ready by Feb to be launched in September :) I Seriously doubt this is the real deal ! Like you said to have a phone ready in feb with all the FCC logo would be rather early..

This is probably a render. Someone on reddit noticed that the bubbles under the plastic in one of the photos are in the same pattern on the front as on the back of the phone.

Best catch yet!!! Great point...

I'm still hoping though! :D:apple:

could be because it packs a huge screen in the smallest possible body for that screen size..most phones will end up looking like this..Top half can easily be compared to the HTC one as well if one was so inclined..Most phones will be the same ...large screen on a minimum bezel design..I would be dissapointed if this was the final version for apple..I just may stick to the 5s for the full two years, unless apple does provide much better features..

Until we actually see it in person and handle it, it is hard to judge it fairly, although photos of the actual finished product will clear up details about the symmetry or lack thereof.

Whatever may be next, if there are not monumental changes in iOS I do not believe I will be a buyer. Tim should start by firing Jonny as head of the iOS team. All he seems concerned about is Crayola colored icons. Here we are staring the 8th generation of iOS in the face and it is still a POS under the hood. After ditching Jonny, most of the rest of the alleged leadership of the team need to go too. It is nearly impossible to believe that any of them actually use these damned things, much less OS X.

And while they're at it, the hardware team could give up on the slippery, fragile, anorexic design "ethos" and put enough battery in it to do some good. Oh, and a micro SD card too.

All anyone needs to read is your final sentence to understand how terrible your taste and ideas are. Lol

We'll that solves that. End thread I suppose.
 
Finally we've got some images; this looks like the real thing for iPhone 6. Much better than the ugly mockup that MR likes to show.
 
If it is indeed true that Apple will be releasing the next iPhone with 2 size models, which I hope is true. I hope they follow what they've done with the iPad Air and retinaMini and make all the internals the same and the only difference is screen size (and maybe resolution on the higher screen sized one) and battery.

I wonder how the pricing would work, if it would be a $50 or $100 premium for the larger size. If they made the base model 32GB (which I hope at this point they do!), they could probably get away with the $100 premium:

4.7" 32GB $199 on contract, $699 unlocked (assuming 32GB becomes base model, I hope)
5.5" 32GB $299 on contract, $799 unlocked (assuming 32GB is base)

Eh. The more I thought about it, the more I found it had in common with the HTC One.

Which might be the reason why I like this 6 prototype/mockup so much. I think the One is one of the best looking smartphones around.

I spent some time in design before I went Special Opps. The One is a good looking phone. If it ran stock KitKat it would be even better.
 
i always loved the simplistic design of the new iPod and wished they would make an iPhone with same design , but the top bezel is not so pleasing for the eye and apple in all its products use the similarity or mirror design which gives the general look a very steady standalone design not like shifted in the pics , but after all i love the design except the top part is annoying to look like that and hopefully its not true that they would leave one of their design elements behind their back

Dude! You are such a Troll! Fire Jony Ive?
He is the best designer on the planet with Tonnes of awards to prove it.
If they followed any of your advice Apple would be nonexistent in 7 years.
