No, I don't want the illuminated logo. I don't want those thick antenna breaks. I don't want it to be that big and that thin. What I really want is the iPhone 5S to have the same specs of the iPhone 6. Not going to happen but I'd love that...

All that means is that the higher margin iPhone 5S is selling more than the 5C. I don't think Apple is crying about that.
You realize the last two quarters were Apple's highest ever, right?
The 5C clearly didn't contribute to breaking those records... nor did the 4S. So it must have been the 5S
That's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact... I think Apple would prefer to sell more 5S than any of their other iPhone models. And they do... the flagship iPhone 5S makes up the majority of iPhone sales.
Samsung... on the other hand... isn't so lucky when it comes to their flagship phones. Samsung sold 85 million smartphones last quarter... but do you think the majority of them were the flagship Galaxy S5 ?
Hell no. Samsung's volume comes from mid and low-end phones. Hooray!
Maybe try formatting your comment correctly when making snide comments? I know you love me, but you didn't need to quote me twice.
You're both snidely.
You do realize that all those iOS device releases at WWDC happened BEFORE they switched to a fall release schedule right? And no iOS devices have been announced or launched at WWDC SINCE they switched to a fall release schedule right?? So no, it is not absurd to think that no iOS hardware will be announced or released at WWDC. On the contrary it's absurd to think the opposite.
The iPad has a cutout for the logo and it doesn't light up... It probably has a functional purpose such as antennas or someting.
Actually, I personally think part of the reason Apple released the iPhone 5c is so they can have semi-annual iPhone releases... Updated iPhone in spring (the flagship phone), iPhone c in fall with nearly identicle specs as the iPhone released in spring, iPhone s in spring, etc. etc. Maybe not this exact order but you get the basic idea. With competition releasing phones every couple months they need to be more relevent than once a year.
I hope this is the first iPhone to mimic the macbook pro with a illuminated apple logo, that would actually make me happy. Though I have no reasoning for this...
At this stage it's almost impossible to call it ugly. I love the new curved edge design aesthetic myself, it reminds me of the iPhone 3G but in metal. One can only imagine how the full product will look especially wrapped in green protective plastic. Are you a TROLL?
Man, If thats accurate, its gonna be one frickin' ugly looking iPhone. Cases are a wonderful thing!!

I wouldn't mind if it just had two lines go through it but the way it wraps around the corner looks pretty bad. I'd rather they just kept the glass panels on the 5s.
In a fit of wild speculation with no basis in reality...
Liquid metal shell
"Antenna breaks" are actually something to do with the "1 meter wireless charging"
Apple logo cut out is used as an indicator for NFC

I have been a apple fan since the early 90's was a Apple Var and still have a old apple //e!. I made lots of money with apple stock numerous times. I find my sentiments reflect a large number of friends and people. If this phone doesnt come out at least the size of the Galaxy 5s and Note 3 I am gone. I keep hearing the same thing over and over and I agree. People want a larger phone and not last years tech. I am praying Apple will really do something to leapfrog Samsung because sadly I am about to cut loose and start converting my entire household's products. They dont need a new model every month but I'm feeling the Iphone is turning into a relic.

On the other hand, iOs developers really need to know how the larger screens and choice of screen sizes should be handled, or the 6 will launch with apps that don't make best use of the screen, so there's a very good reason for Apple to announce at least the screen resolutions at WWDC this time round.
My guess is that this leak is a large screen iPod (hence no dual flash), and developers will be encouraged to develop for it's new screen resolution, giving developers time to prepare for an Autumn launch, and Apple time to sort out things like sapphire production and antennas.
While I agree the 4/4s was the peak of phone design, how the hell is "everyone else" innovating with design? Samsung's has the same cheap plastic design for years. HTC has nice design lately but it looks inspired by the iPhone 5, isn't too innovative. The only other good design I can think of is the Nexus 4, which was inspired by the 4/4s with the glass back.
No fingerprint sensor and home button moved to the back apple logo so full front size display without shiutting annoying physical buttons.
