Alleged iPhone 6 Cases Surface, Apparently Based on Recent Design Drawings

This actually looks really good. Not a fan of gold so I'd prefer silver and glossy black like the 4/s.
except for the purported iPhone 5 design that never came to be. Remember that one where the Chinese case manufacturer's went all-in and that iPhone design never came to pass? (Instead we got that ugly, tall and skinny 5/5s design).

Could you explain? It sounds like Apple fanboyism to me. Why exactly having power button on the top side is so intuitive? I thought it would be more intuitive to have the buttons where your fingers are and your fingers are on the left and right sides of the phone (unless you use some weird grip). Top location still works for current iPhone but with larger size you'd have to use second hand to reach it there.
Have to say that these so-called iPhone 6 "case designs" look like someone made them with a cheap 3D printer, not anything close to be mass produced.
It's still a good six months too early to start building cheap-crystal cases, don't they think?
At least we know they will arrive together.
Some rumours have the 2 sizes of phones shipping months apart.
Maybe because Apple should have released the 5/5s as 4:3. the 4-inch 16:9 propotion is fugly.
Somebody is wasting money building demo molds for something not announced yet. It would seem that Apple should probably start issuing "case templates" a month or so before new releases so that users can have cases ready when the new iPhones ship... As Apple wholes refuses to make any cases of their own. Expecting companies to wait 60 days for a "known" new iPhone release to figure out and make cases on their own is silly now.
So you take a 5S plastic case and do some photoshop magic on it to create a side by side photo as show and this is evidence for what exactly? Are people actually buying this? :roll eyes:
yawn!!
yawn!!
I use to handle my previous iPhone (I still on 4S, dont like the 5/5S design ans small screen) with one hand, and the power button on top become as intuitive that when I started to use the HTC One (m7) was too natural, instead my Samesung Note II took a while to get confortable with it side power btn.
from my experince with the HTC One m7, given the next iPhone will be very close in size (if not smaller) I find no problem with the on top power btn, unless you have child sized hands (even, not difficult, kids just grip the phone a bit close to upper side)
Dang, they're not really going to make a phone larger than the 5S, are they? I'm gonna email Tim.
Sounds to me more like you just don't want Apple to change anything because you're used to it in the current position. I don't see a single real reason why you think they shouldn't change it. It's one thing to say you prefer it in the current location rather than the side, but saying the side is not an intuitive position is just a daft comment.
You're certainly entitled to your own opinion, but personally I think the 4:3 aspect ratio is fugly. Looks like a short, fat penguin as opposed to the tall and slim (like the legs of a model) 16:9 aspect ratio.
Could the side button be a shutter release button for the camera? The volume up button works ok for this right now, but sometimes I find my finger covering up the lens when I try to use the volume button as a shutter release. Putting it on the other side would solve that problem, at least for me. Plus, it might be nice to also have it launch the camera app too when it is not running.
Of all the mockups we've seen so far, this one is my favourite for the sole reason that it reminds me of the design if the 4/4S. That design is/was my favourite iPhone design to date.
