Also the camera looks like a Iphone 5S LED flash would they really put last years Iphone tech in the Ipod touch?

It may also confirm the flash won't be improved this time.

Since there's no glass cutouts or black strip like on the iPod is Apple perhaps using liquidmetal?

Even if it is (which most likely is) an iPod Touch, the iPhone will get practically the same design with a slightly thicker design. No way the Touch gets a redesign like this and the iPhone doesn't. I'm ready to buy!

I love the thin bezel. I like that the sensors and camera at the top of the phone have been flattened for less bezel at the top. I'm glad that the bezel at the bottom is just tall enough to handle a Touch ID home button and that's it.
It puts the focus on the screen content. Jony Ive would approve.
Less bezel means it can still be operated with one hand and not be much larger than the iPhone 5.
I'd buy it.
Hope this is real!!

I wish would could get a scale for the size of this!!!!!! It does look bigger and I am wondering with the added space of the larger but slimmer frame, they can fit a longer slimmer battery inside to increase the battery life?

looks almost EXACTLY like what I predicted for the iPhone 6 in my blog a few months back, exactly.

It does match the previous rumors but where is the antenna? It says iPhone but as others have said it's more like the iPod Touch. If true it's great since I always wanted the iPhone to be more like the iPod Touch design.

It actually looks pretty real. I'd buy one. What would be the assumed vertical dimension if the horizontal is 2.6 inches?

The assymmetrical top and bottom bezels would take some getting used to. It looks a lot like the Galaxy S3, which I believe was deliberately assymmetric to work around Apple's design patents.

If this is true - iPhone 6 will be best looking smartphone in the market.

I absolutely love this design and I hope this is how it will look.

If that's not an iPod, we can say goodbye to battery life.

My 5s drops 15-20% / hr with average use (voice + data, no gaming no video)

I can't imagine a thinner iPhone will do anything good for battery life, even if the battery gets a touch taller and wider to make up for reduced thickness and following the wider and taller casing.

Yes lets see it next to the Iphone 5s. Probably somebody can maybe give a rough estimate it's wider than an Ipod touch but wonder how that will affect it to hold?

It's conservative enough to be real, so I say yes. Looks great, and will look much better in official photos.

Conservative enough to be real? Seriously? Hahahah. It's hilarious what people think these could look like... What do you expect?

Interestingly the 2 screws ubiquitous with the last few iphones are missing from the bottom edge of the casing (to remove the display). Possibly means a whole unit swop for cracked units or a complete redesign of the device and service options. Or its an iPod Touch?

Protoypes rarely equal the finished product. A prototype is create for no other reason than to show what the finished product might look like and should never be taken as portraying the finished product.
