While I'm expecting a liquid metal body for the iWatch and perhaps the phone, we must remember that a phone has multiple antennas. So you somehow have to divide up the metal body into a few parts for that reason. It can't be a single hunk of metal.
I wrote they are fake from the first post, but i was looking more on the fully assembled phone, but what about the rear shell? I'm not so sure it's a fake its very detailed and there is no evidence of asymmetrical bezels, top and bottom look very symmetric on the rear shell.. But no windows for antennas is unbelivable, and the iPhone signature in february, maybe it's a controlled leak..
You never use the home button? Ever?! You need a physical button for screen shotting, hard restarts and to enter DFU mode.Please get rid of the home button!!!
that is crazy thin... which makes me wonder how long that battery will last.
Let's hope since it is "bigger" they also made the battery bigger, it may be thinner, but let's hope it is also bigger!
I think I need to say Bigger a few more times.........
You never used the assistive touch functionality.
You can get rid of any physical button and I wish this one will disappear and the fingerprint will be below the screen...
I can't tell the bezel. Maybe I just don't understand what everyone means by asymmetrical bezel?
Need to find a way to shrink or get rid of the button. Bottom bezel is taking too much space and making the design longer and more awkward than it needs to be.
Other than that pretty much no bezel on the sides and really thin at the top nice clean design. Hardware looks good. Too bad they made the OS ugly and clunkier.

If we're seeing part leaks already I think that's more fuel for the June release date.
Leaks this soon for a September release just don't sound right.

Even iPods have wifi. Go to the apple store and look at the back. There is a plastic black cutout. Even the Nano has a white plastic part on the back for the radio.
I guess it's possible they have some new method or tech, but it seems pretty radical. Even the htc one, which has a metal back, is separated like the iPhone 4's by plastic bands.
"Rumors have suggested the iPhone 6 will be manufactured in multiple sizes, like Samsung with rumors pegging one phone at approximately 4.7 inches like Samsung and a second between 5.5 and 5.7 inches like Samsung. The screen may also be bezel-free, similar to competing phones from companies like Samsung".
Samsung sells about 100 million Galaxy S and Galaxy Note devices per year. They have ASPs close to the iPhone 5s, and slightly higher bills of material. So they have a profit margin just slightly lower than the iPhone line. Given that the ratio of Apple's profits to Samsung's profits is slightly north of the ratio of iPhones sold to Galaxy S + Note sales, it follows that most of Samsung's profits come from those lines.
Like some people are saying I, too, don't like the asymmetrical look of the top/bottom bezels. Also, the top bezel does remind me of Samsung; maybe placing the front-facing camera somewhere else would fix that.
Exactly what I thought when the iPhone 4 design was leaked.

Every year since Steve is dead.
Last year the software got its flat and ugly makeover, this year the hardware is becoming huge and ugly. And the year before the iPad mini adopted a competitors form factor, which no one complains about because it was an improvement.
The idea that the second Steve Jobs left the company Apple completely changed direction is absurd.
2 things... 1) but Steve said 3.5in was perfect.. surely he wasn't wrong.. 2). Last year, anything approaching 5in in size was almost universally dismissed as ridiculous, now that Apple is a follower not a leader anymore, it's like the 2nd coming of Christ. Let me guess .. Apple is gonna do 5in screens right..
The comments section on this site are hilarious.. am I the only one who sees the irony..

Apple leads. Not sure where you get your information. Look at everything from laptops to phones and tablets, everyone copies Apple, and they will continue to do so without regret or regard. Can't wait to see everyone copy Apple's wearable.
But before the iPhone 6 apple also made smartphones like samsung, 4 inch touch screen phones like samsung, phones that had a camera like samsung, another front facing camera like samsung..
Read the entire post again. It likely isn't real.

No I think you mean Samsung made all of that following Apple. Except maybe the screen size which is absolutely and totally irrelevant.
