Awesome! I knew i had seen that design somewhere else. Nice to see them trying something different.Or a 5th gen iPod touch (released in 2012)

Do you have a 5th gen iPod touch? I'd be curious to know from someone who does if the devic wobbles when on a flat surface. I'd ask the same question of someone who owns a Galaxy S5 as that has a protruding camera as well.
huh? doesnt even have antenna lines
Dear Apple, please fill those seams with same-color-as-shell liquid metal.
Thanks you
Liquidmetal is still conductive so the bands must be something else.
A Liquidmetal band would be the same as no band at all.
Why bother?

Won't be plastic, definitely not. I agree with the above poster, it will be liquid metal and as seamless as they can get it. It won't look like the mock ups in Sept.
Looking at the current leak, we can see a notch in the aluminum back that appears to be filled with plastic or something but I don't see how that could be the antenna bands as the cutout doesn't go all the way through so you still have aluminum underneath. Where does the signal pass through? With the iPhone 5/5s there was a cutout for the back.

I guess they will sell a case which negates camera's protrusion.

This iPhone 6 Back Housing is a Prototype its not the Final part that will ship, but its 100% real.
No it doesn't wobble at all, except for a barely discernible amount if pressed at the top left. I've got one, and if you employ a little common sense analysis to the physical properties of the device and the principles of leverage and pivot points, you'd soon draw that conclusion too. You see, if you take into consideration the fact that the lens protrusion is right up on the top corner of the device, and is the pivot point as it's sticking out proud of the body, you'll then see that for the iPod to "wobble" would require a mass equal to the rest of the body which is BELOW the protruding ring, in order to effect an equilibrium (or near) in mass across the pivot point, ergo a seesaw effect which would cause the wobble you speak of.
Since the mass of the entire area below the camera (ie: 95% of the mass) is working against, and a lot heavier than the miniscule amount ABOVE the camera, this "wobbling" is imaginary, and would require considerable concerted downward pressure - in precisely the right place - to be observed.
There is only a TINY rocking of the device when you apply pressure to the top-left of the iPod, and that's only a degree or so, and doesn't affect usage of the device nor does it impair the experience. If you have any sense, you'd buy a TPU case which would eliminate this altogether, by countersinking the lens - in effect.
The camera lens will be criticized right up until its branded as some 'magic cornea' lens and then it will be defended passionately by all.
You guys are freaking out over a slightly protruded camera lens? Really?
