What do you think of the iPhone 6 leaks?

I think those white bands all around the phone will actually be a darker chrome/liquid metal. It would make a huge difference and be much more appealing.
The design as we see it in the leaks is no barn burner. Hopefully these are just Mockups and not the actual device.
While functionality counts the cosmetics of the IPhone mean a lot also as people use this constantly and want something appealing to the eye

Looking at the photos the original poster posted had me thinking...
Imagine a nice slim girl wearing a pair of tight blue jeans out on the town with her girlfriends having a great night - she slips the new phone into her back pocket, forgets its there and sits down.....
To me Apple have sold their soul by producing another android look-a-like
Please Apple keep the metal trim, backplate and most of all styling - plastic phones look horrible....

Am I the only one that thinks virtually every smartphone has looked the same since 2008 or so?
There are very few radical standout designs floating around. When the iPhone 4 originally came out it seemed pretty radical at the time, and maybe that HTC with the huge speakers on the front or the Lumia 1020 with its massive, amazing camera. But aside from the occasional standout, they basically all look the same to me.
For me, it's about the specs and the software it's running, not the chassis. But to each their own.

I'm actually really curious as to what everyones opinions are on the 2 different sizes rumors. I think 2 different sizes is a good idea. I have to say I feel like my iPhone 5 is a bit small and would like something bigger. However how big is too big? I always preorder my new phone. So how do you preorder choosing between 2 sizes not knowing which one you will like? All we would really have to go on is the presentation for the new phones. And what if the rumor mill is true and the larger 5+ inch phone gets released months later? Im really curious how apple will handle a release of 2 sizes and how they will market it.
I like it... it will only grow on us the more time we see and feel it.
btw: ur free to create a thread anyway you want.
Thanks buddy

If only there was a thread like this already......
Feel free to point out any threads specifically about the iPhone 6 leaks, which precede this one. Bonus points if they include polls.

Chill brah, I believe post #70 was the op of a copycat thread that got merged with this one - that's the thread he was commenting on

I kind of suspected that had happened, for I don't remember the comment being there before. What can I say… it's in my nature to be angry and… dangry.

It's allright, put one right here and get it out of your system buddy *holds up 2 x LG G Flex phones as punch mitts*
Wow, that looks nice. Not a huge fan of the antenna system but it is a lot less jarring and less noticeable than the glass breaks on the 5/5s. It disappears from a lot of angles.

This.
I remember a lot of "Apple will never release something so ugly!" about the 5 leaks. Now the praise is unanimous.
People hate change. By they time it's announced everyone will love the 6.
Because design is objective right? It's grown on me for one, I prefer it over the more stark glass breaks. Keep in mind the mockups are incredibly tacky and with crappy materials. Apple will probably make the antenna out of liquid metal or something.

Not sure how a big glass slab is thinner...?
After reading many comments on design it seems like people bhabe never seen the new iPod touch design. The iPhone mockups look very similar to the current latest iPod Touch design in its thinness, rounded corners, and also reduced volume controls. No one complaining about that so don't worry to hard about the design. Apple looks very deep into it, (Mac Pro) the next iPhone I'm hoping will not be disappointing.
Update #3
Another 60 votes have been cast, so I arbitrarily decided it was time for yet another update. This time, in an effort to maximize clarity, I'm presenting the data in wedge vs. total circular area format rather than a pie chart. Bear this change in mind as you band your eyes on the wood/metal combo:
Below are the minty-fresh interpreted results. For the visually impaired, it may not be apparent that the disapprovers of the leaked design are now overtaking the fans by about 7 precent. Moreover, the number of people who are indifferent to the design has grown significantlyperhaps this is simply due to people who were uninterested in this poll (or iPhone 6 leaks in general) finally giving in and casting a vote:

Update #4
Another wave of over 40 votes hit, so I've recalculated the current reactions to the alleged iPhone 6 parts. Rather than posting two new pie charts, I've made a GIF comparing update #3 to the current stats:
![8eaILNL.gif]()
As you can perceive via optic nerves, the amount of people who doubt the legitimacy of the leaks has increased. Superficially, (top left) the amount of love has increased and hate has decreased, but after grouping similar categories and removing doubles (bottom right), we see that both love and hate has decreased while indifference wanes.
