iPhone 6 will most definitely not be revealed at WWDC. It would kill iPhone 5s sales for the next 4 months until it's released!
Hmmm, initial excitement has now turned into apprehension.
But I became so attached to the way true tone flash looks... I dont want to see that go a way its to awesome to go away.
Does no one seriously notice the apple logo cutout? I've been wondering about it forever...
I'm guessing that dual flash is done then? Unless this back cover is for the 6C?
There's a good reason why they stopped doing iPhones at WWDC. Apple wants to release their most popular product right before the holiday season. Early June doesn't sell as well, so if they announce any hardware at all, it's generally stuff for the back-to-school crowd, or the kind of hardware the Pros use to do their work.
Looks like the next iPhone would use LiquidMetal as the chassis of the iPhone 6.
So, it could be thinner than iPhone 5S while increasing inner space for bigger battery.

People are really misinterpreting these "antenna lines." According to the leaked CAD drawings (which nobody seems to be able to properly interpret), the top and bottom portions of the phone (which are the two cellular antennas for the phone) are seemingly a single piece, not two separate pieces of aluminum with a plastic line in between. And the way this part attaches to the enclosure, to me doesn't seem possible with anything other than Liquid Metal, the shape and fitment of the part is far too complex to be a machined part.
I know we've been hearing the Liquid Metal cries for 4 years now, but I truly think that this year might actually be the time. And since they aren't making the entire enclosure out of liquid metal, only the top and bottom edges, it seems very feasible that they could manufacture the material at scale for just this small part.
So quite the contrary. Jony Ive didn't get hit in the head, he's arguably doing some of the most sophisticated work of his entire career (also see the Mac Pro). The mechanical engineering of this part, the way the top and bottom edges attach to the enclosure, is incredibly sophisticated. I know most people in the Apple rumor community aren't engineers and don't understand what they're looking at when they see leaked diagrams, but I work in Sheetmetal and can somewhat interpret drawings, so this is just what I was able to gather from the leaked CAD drawings so far.
I guarantee this, when the real phone comes out, and we get to see the final product and hear the design story behind it, a lot of you all criticizing now are going to swallow your words. You can't get a true appreciation for something until you see it all come together. Bookmark this post and come see if I'm correct in September. And if anyone is curious which CAD drawing I'm referring to that shows to me that there are liquid metal components, I can post it.
Woah ... I've never had issues with Apple designs but if this is actually real then that is pretty horrible. That design is very un-Apple like. I don't see them doing such thick bands.

Please make the logo glow *crosses fingers*

I'm all for iPhone rumors, but isn't this like the 10th identical design that's made front page news? We all assume at this point the final design will look like this, and we still don't know if this particular incarnation is a genuine part.
The 5c sells, why is it a failure?My guess is that Apple will not limit its sales potential by repeating the 5s/5c experiment. I still believe the 5c was a failure, not as a device, but as a marketing strategy.

Might try reading the article rather than just looking at the shiny pictures.
