People like me, that don't
I'm sure Apple will take your invaluable opinion to heart. Apple is gonna do what they do and they don't give a rat's ass what you think because they know what the rest of us do. You'll buy the next one.

Now paint would make it look cheap. However I don't see any problem at all with a little design effort to break up what would be a plain aluminum back. In fact it is preferable.I agree, but I highly doubt it'll end up looking like that...maybe the top/bottom will be painted?
September is when my iphone 5 two-year contract ends. If they release it sooner, it's going to be an even more painful wait for many of us on that schedule.
Jony was noticeably absent from the WWDC Keynote. I was expecting one of his white-background videos.
First off those aren't breaks. Seriously guys they show both sides of the device. As to the iPad you do realize there is a reason for the plastic strip right? It is there for the antennas. Sometimes form and function collide. It could be worst, iPad could be using a shortwave antenna.Nope, they look ghastly. To be fair, iPhone leak pictures have often looked kinda nasty only for the final product to look nice, but those do look pretty bad. I'm not a fan of that aspect of the iPhone 5 - I think it looks cheap and amateurish (as do the big breaks on mobile-ready iPads), and this looks worse!
But if the rumours about size are true then I don't need to worry about it, as I won't be buying a new iPhone anyway (too big)
So no dual led flash? I really got used to it, hopefully they don't go back to the old mono flash
I don't think the antenna breaks will be that thick. Also the lines aren't even in the picture, this is probably an early prototype or a dummy for case makers.
the circular LED flash light still confuses me.
Those antenna breaks look so awful... Like the clean cut on 5/5S. But seriously..... Apple spends so much money on R&D. Why can't they figure out how to get rid of those? -.-
if those plastic breaks are for signals to pass through, how come the inside view doesn't show the same plastic break, but rather a continuous metal sheet?
can anyone explain this?

Yeah this is a huge # concern of mine too. I will have to upgrade because iOS 8 isn't currently headed to iPhone 4. However I would love an A8 powered iPhone sized replacement. My iPad has so overtaken my mobile communications needs that my iPhone is only a light duty solution now.
The logo looks small to me.
Am I the only one who is kinda bothered by those thick lines?
Is it just me that thinks that the back would look much better without those breaks?
The design of iOS 8 and the hardware of iPhone seems to be getting uglier. I think Jony has lost his touch. Those breaks on the back make the iPhone look cheap.
Because Apple knows how ridiculous it would have been to stick him in a video talking about OSX design.
These breaks seem to have contact with the metal case. Even if made from Liquid metal, they still could not be used as antennae. To me it looks like those breaks are separating those small rounded rectangular parts of the case from the rest to be used as antennae. Makes more sense to me, as a similar idea has been used before in the iPhone 4 (although I still think the iPhone 4 design is the best thus far).I think you are right. Rather than antenna breaks, those May be actual antennae and could be an application of LiquidMetal that we were not expecting. Essentially, they would be putting the antennae on the outside of the phone.
Not as ugly as those auto correct typos that keep showing up in my posts.I know why they did it, I just think it's ugly (relatively).
The problem is they don't update it. It is a rather foolish bit of marketing in my mind and makes about as much sense as Ford offering only one truck.I'm still holding out hope that they won't scrap the smaller line, given how well it sells I think that would be absurd of them, and highly unlikely.
I'm guessing they're going to introduce the new, bigger ones, keep selling the 5S, then update the smaller line at a later date, so we end up with staggered new iPhone releases throughout the year, in different sizes.
