I don't believe I said that iPhone 6 would be revealed. Checking again No I didn't.
this is the best product in last 25 years in apple pipeline. Just looks another big as iPhone..nothing new...I know it's a rumor but based on the history it looks like Apple has stopped taking any risk and sticking to usual.
It's ok you are probably eligible for NEXT
Edge, actually. And not likely since I'm still in contract with my 5.
Personally I'd have to convince my parents to let me upgrade anyway. My dad has a 4S and might not like the idea of me having a phone that's three years newer than his.
Not buying it.
The iPhone 5S had a flash that was oblong and not round because it does color balancing. This pic shows a small round hole where the flash would be.
It's not impossible that they improved the flash and made it smaller, but I'm thinking it's unlikely.

Unless they ship it in June/July like they did the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4.

Possible, but I know a couple of people who wish it did light up.

Again, possible.
Um, no...
welcome for what? were you the one in at the glory hole the other day? in that case thanks
The shape? So you'd prefer a sub par, last generation flash, because it is pill shaped over a new and (most likely) improved round flash? That's just silly. I couldn't care less what the shape is as long as it's better then what's on the 5s. And since the tru tone flash worked very well, and it's being totally changed after only 1 year, I'm inclined to believe that it's going to be leaps and bounds better.
----------
Because they made it better. Why are so many people assuming that a round flash is not a good as a dual pill shaped flash. I don't get it.
Yes the pill shape looks awesome and I like it. I would be very upset to see it go. Very upset
various things
Re antenna cutouts:
I do not exactly like the antenna design of iP5/5S but those thick lines are realy ugly. But maybe we see something completly different in this picture.
Re liquid metal:
People seem to think that this is a kind of wonder stuff, like the T1000 in Terminator II or something. In fact, it's just an alloy that has an amorphic structure compared to a crystal structure that metals usualy create when they change from liquid/melted phase to solid phase. It's still necessary to give this material a shape by casting, moulding or machining.
Re flash cutout:
It seems this one is far bigger than on previous iPhones. As others have mentioned, it could be a single color changing LED, two concentric LEDs or even 4 smaler ones (like on the 5S, but 2x2)
Re display bezels:
I like the bezels on todays iPhones because there is a margin for a bumper covering the whole phone without hiding parts of the display (on the long edges) and i like the bezel for the loudspeaker and the home button on the short edges because it would be hard to reach the top and bottom parts of the screen without changing grip of the phone.
Re display resolution
I realy hope this 3x retina rumor doesn't come true. I realy don't know what the benefit is. Just keep the dpi and increase the numer of pixels accordingly for the larger screen. This "fragmentaion issue" realy is no issue. Most developers code for iOS and android and know that it's a stupid idea to rely on fixed numbers for the screen size. Until Apps are optimised for the new resolution they are displayed letterboxed.

Indeed. I highly doubt the logo will glow - what a waste of limited power no matter what the draw.
This is just going to be a cutout like we have now to allow for a different colour/material fill like we have with the current black plastic on the iPads. Maybe we'll get some new colours this time. That's about the only plausible change for the logo IMO.

Rounded corners?????
I like the current iPhone design. I like the iPads rounded features, but only on the iPads.
I like to stand up my iPhone on my desk and with the current design I can do that-landscape . It's a darn shame we are moving away from the flat sides. I liked the feel too. I guess these leaks confirm it will happen.

What cloud? That you don't have a different design every single year... The android market is like nokia in the 90'/00's - dozens of designs every year - all pretty much the same phone... except for the multitudes of power adaptors.
Also almost all completely unsupported after year or 2... you only have to look at the OS uptake on android to see how little sony / HTC / Samsung care about most of their phone after launch... unless it's the flagship model.. they just never get updates.
