I'm confused, are you trying to tell me that they usually don't announce hardware during the WWDC keynote?
I wonder if the Apple logo will be used as some sort of notification light? Probably not with it being on the back.
The hole for the flash is noticeably larger, suggesting to me that the new True-Tone LEDs will be a circle and a concentric ring, which would be more elegant than the adjacent pill-shaped arrangement of the 5S.
The Apple logo cut-out could be a window for the NFC antenna.

In recent years a lot of hardware has been unveiled at WWDC, the myth comes from the fact that for the last 3 years the iPhone hasn't.
Exactly. I'm still hoping it's a fake/dummy though as those antenna lines are hideous.
As they pointed out, it's covered in a green protective film.

I'm hoping they won't be visible after the device is anodized (or whatever process they use). If they are, then I share your concern.
Ahhh...there's only so much you can do with a 5" rectangle. Would you prefer they make it look like a band-aid/golf ball like that atrocious back of the Galaxy S5? Sometimes well enough is best left alone.
My slightly desperate hope is that the plastic we've seen (or think we've seen) in the antenna lines is a prototype/sample placeholder-part that will be replaced in the finished product by a high-resististivity formulation of Liquid Metal, giving us the first all-metal-backed iPhone with a subtle matt/polished two-tone finish.
The bezels above and below the screen are going to be nasty. Going to be so huge...especially compared to my Galaxy S4. Why Apple??
Looks fine to me minus the green color.
I hope we don't have the iPhone 6 C as the flagship device.

Can we please put this developer-only nonsense to rest now? WWDC Keynote is not exclusive to developer announcements only. WWDC Keynotes almost always have some major hardware announcement.
I thought it was a logo cutout as well, but the more I look the more I think it's just an odd light glare on the plastic causing it to look that way (with the logo being black).
edit: looking again, the angle of the shadows are consistent with the shadows being cast around the edges of the phone and do seem consistent with a cutout, and plus the shadows inside the "cutout" are consistent with the shape of the Apple logo as well. Really weird. Perhaps there will be a glowing Apple logo like on Macbooks?
Now Samesung quick create S-wamp Green Galaxy S 5 coming soon this June 1.
Samesung announce it first.
You Apple copycat. 
Apple hasn't even announced iOS 8 beta yet, an iPhone 6 will NOT be announced at WWDC.
In regards to this leak, I'm not a fan of those antenna breaks. They are...thick

Isnt it usually that they put some different material there that allows radio signals through, like on the ipad?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too but then that would be kind of annoying having doubled the line up again for a second year in a row. Last year we saw 2 new iPhones and this year 4? I think we can all conclude that we still have no idea what Apple plans to do anymore than we did 6 months ago.
With the logo cutout so big and talk of the new phone being sensor laden, my guess is that's where some type of sensor will be.
Can't forget MacBook Airs last year too.
If it's ready for WWDC, that would be super awkward for people in two year contracts with the 5. Mine isn't up til January!
