Those while lines Cant be be uglier... I pray this js a bogus replica

Hideous

I agree. although often times Apple products look much better than in real life. I just can't see that happening with these thick white lines though. Blech.

And on another note, one more 4.7 inch part leaked and no substantial 5.5 inch parts leaked. Hm.
 
I keep telling you people again and again now again!

How many more times do I have to keep telling you people?

I keep saying that I think there will be no new Apple hardware products of any note this year and I am being proved right.

I have said in many previous posts why so will not go into them again here.

We recently had Ming Chi Kuo who is the only Analyst with an impressive track record. He mentions that the Iphone 6 5.5" phablet will be delayed to about the end of the year due to production issues now it looks highly likely that the 4.7" version is also to be delayed by a month or so and on top of that the iwatch will be delayed till November it seems.
Oh and also the 12" Ipad pro also delayed...Hmmm all these major Apple hardware products delayed and keep getting delayed.
The phrase I told you so just doesn't cut it really but hey I TOLD YOU SO!

Tim Cook needs to go as he is not delivering and won't do EVER.
He is squandering the legacy of Steve Jobs and running the company into the ground
 
As with the iPhone 4 leak... people said "Look at those breaks in the steel on the side. That design is un-Apple."

Then Steve explained their existence at the keynote as being a part of the antenna system and blew us away.

I have a feeling the iPhone 6 lines contribute to some functionality that we don't know about yet. Maybe wireless charging...

Maybe so, but it's still ugly as hell.
 
I don't think its wireless charging, the Nexus has had wireless charging for a long time and it didn't alter the exterior casing visibly. I think its safe to say those are maybe placeholders or something that won't be in the retail product.

Oh, well if Google didn't do it, I'm sure that means Apple wouldn't do it, either. Sort of like how they didn't alter the 4's enclosure to accommodate the antenna bands, because nobody else did it before.

Those most certainly are placeholders. But maybe they're placeholders for a form of wireless charging?
 
Looks like white masking protruding along the antenna breaks. Don't like it. Looks poor.

Yes, it protrudes and no way in hell that is a final product...Let's say, that band is peeled off to unveil a thinner band, like current 5/5s?
 
the bands look like they are serving dual purpose as antenna breaks but also as bumpers for impact. am guessing with the sapphire screen they will market this as a device that needs no case. the bands would be effective in protecting from impact and also from the shell getting scratched by grit.

Hadn't considered this.. You may be on to something here..
 
This is not a leaked Apple part. It's a Wico i6 part.
I feel like I'm talking to a wall in here.

Looking at the wico i6 vid it looks EXACTLY like this part....I just really hope thats the case and wico didn't replicate exactly what the "real" Apple part will look like.
 
guys, you all are getting worked up over the bands, its a pre-production unit. They're not going to be there for the final product.

If they are part of the final design, I'll hunt you down... You promised... :)

I don't think we've seen any Apple parts yet. Everything we've seen so far has been based off that blueprint we saw a couple few months ago. Who knows if that was even real. I have my doubts. I think Tim has kept his word about doubling down.
 
I think those antenna lines are extruding cause they will put sapphire laminate all over the back, except on the antenna lines. They will announce the iPhone 6 as totally scratch resistant. That way they are also saving important depth och the camera module since it will not need it's own glass. It will look really slick!
 
Is this the first design with no input from Steve Jobs? If so and this is the result Apple are doomed. No-one will want to be seen with anything this ugly - except those geeks who have no appreciation or understanding of design. Saying you can cover it with a case is missing the point. You want the thinnest phone and then but a case on it to hide how ugly it is and with the case it will be as thick as the previous model. I want a phone that does what you want AND looks good.

And then people started loosing signal, which is very "un-apple like" as it just didn't work. Then Steve came back out and told everyone they're holding their phones wrong, have been since the days of Bell. Fanboy's minds were blown away because Apple was gonna revolutionize the way we hold phones. But that didn't happen so he tossed everyone a free bumper to shut them the hell up. The End.
 
Crazy retarded macrumors members.... Aaahhhhh it's hidious us I'll never buy it.

The day it comes out and announce the antennas reception is 2xs better than previous models.

Crazy retarded macrumors members.... Hey well it's starting to grown on me I'll be the first in line for sure.

Happens all the time here
 
Plastic bands are the hot ******. Don't you kids remember the 80th?
We were basically all dressed in colorful plastic back then.

... and 1800mAh are enough for everyone.
