why lighting plug does not go all the way in?
yeah, funny. How about on the bottom in your pic near the home button. Lovely amount of space for no reason.
Might happen when the technology is there to do what they want.
I'm talking about the patent I think was granted or applied for, to do with a Touch ID sensor embedded on the screen.
Once that's doable, and a "clickable" screen (not fully clickable, just a pressure sensitive bit), they might ditch the home button.
Edit:
Found the article for the on-screen fingerprint sensor:

And pressure sensitive screen stuff:

With the amount of leaks at the moment, I'm wondering if some of this is by Apple as misdirection to keep us busy so we don't even get a sniff of the surprise on the 9th.
I think it must be, just looks very odd. Not owning a 5S myself, what's currently there on the slate grey model?
Strip lights on the ceiling reflecting off the circular angle steel band.
You can see the lights reflecting on the screen at some point.
That steel band is pretty reflective on my phone, so caught at the right angle, you'll see that happen.
I've attached a picture of my 5S with my light reflecting. Took it on my iPad, so isn't the best quality..
You can see the strip lighting on the 5S in the video, when the 6 is laid next to it and you see the lights reflecting off the 6's steel band again

look what i've found, playing with curves
this can confirm it's a real leak directly from cupertino.
Omg! I just found this instead. Is that you Tim?
You're on a rumor site for christ sakes, this isn't the place to complain about rumors and leaks and not look silly.
and it's already been addressed -- it's a new phone, probably w/o iOS 8 on it, running only on its firmware...which is, you know, new. as in, youve never seen it before. which means you *wont recognize some things*.

likely reflections of whatever lighting equipment is in the room.

everyone says that every year. you know what happens? theyre always wrong. it's hilarious to watch it happen over and over each year.
While I was a bit skeptical at first, I got to hold a iPhone 6 dummy unit while visiting a shop in Miami a couple of days ago - and trust me, my skepticism is GONE! Although just a cheap dummy unit, it felt amazing in hand. The antenna bands didn't look very pretty, but this vid shows that progress have been made, and that the bands will probably be color-matched, which has made it less of a problem to me. However, I would much prefer if they consisted of glass-inserts like the 5/5S.
Sure, it will take some time getting used to, but I believe we're really going to like the iPhone 6! Here's a photo.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but I for one really couldn't care less about the protruding camera. Everyone should've seen it coming as it was on the touch years ago. Even if I was part of the few people who didn't use a case I wouldn't care. Just set it down screen first if you really don't want it to wobble.

Please tell me where the commas should go? Title looks fine to me.
Pros:
The curved glass transitions very nicely into the curved body.
The curved glass makes the side bezels appear smaller than they actually are.
The larger size is welcomed by many.
The curved design is congruous with other apple products.
Cons:
Many will find the curved design ugly, like a Samsung product. I like the flat slate look of the ip4&5, at once timeless and futuristic.
The top bezel, it makes the phone look like a fatty.
The antenna bands should be gone or at least the same color as the body.
The protruding camera lens is unfortunate, but acceptable.
It's overall too iterative, not much of a step forward at all.
I bet Jony can hardly wait to release the ip7 and be done with this one.
