If that's not an iPod, we can say goodbye to battery life.

My 5s drops 15-20% / hr with average use (voice + data, no gaming no video)

I can't imagine a thinner iPhone will do anything good for battery life, even if the battery gets a touch taller and wider to make up for reduced thickness and following the wider and taller casing.

Something is wrong with yours. Mine is always 75-80% left with moderate use.
 
Reminds me of the "leaked iPhone 5" shown in iPhoto a few years ago:

Lol, at least the curves are a nice change. I had to put a case on mine cuz the edges were a tad too sharp.

With a large bezel-less display and Touch ID with a button-less home button.. I'll be completely down for this new iPhone.

A button-less home button makes perfect sense.
 
Who here is good with photoshop? Assuming the home button size is the same as the iPhone 5S, it should be possible to transform the picture of the front so that it's the same scale as the iPhone 5S and then deduce the screen size.
 
Somehow it looks legit but it looks like it could go on mass production tomorrow and I was expecting this phone to launch in September, it can't be an iPod either, no point in having a huge screen like that for an iPod, so ... I'm really confused right now. :confused:

Perhaps the summer release predictions are accurate. But that would either mean an A7 chip of some sort, or a much more rapid development of the A8. My guess is that the A8 would focus more on power management than performance improvements (given that Samsung and others will just be releasing their first 64-bit chips).
 
Note how this back looks like the current Iphone 5C! :eek:

This could be a sign of a change of design remember Ipad mini's design when Ipad 4 came along with the old Ipad 2 design.
 
Is Sonny Dickson pretty reliable?

Yes. Though I'm still not 100% convinced Apple will go asymmetrical with the bezels. And I'd still love to know how the antennas work. Unless the back is liquidmetal and not aluminum?
 
It looks real... because it looks just like the 5s. Apple is pretty conservative in the design/innovation field.

Embarrassing statement. Please give us your thoughts on what it could look like assuming there were no technological barriers. There is no drastic design changes to something that has a display and is used as a phone, it can only become so thin, so light, and so bezeless. Are people serious when they say that?
 
I really like this, even if it is only a fake. It looks like a very clean design that apple can easily color like the iPod touches, which is a plus for me because silver, gold, and space gray are all too boring in my opinion.
 
Wow! That looks incredible... Very believable too. I think this is real

Yes, this is the most credible rumor yet. I'd peg this as the 4.7" version (give or take a bit). I suspect that the 5.5" version may be a ruse. For all the talk about the Note 3, it's the Galaxy S4 (and soon to be S5) where Samsung makes most of its money.
 
Must be a new ipod.

Why?

Because the back doesnt have the 2 plastic bars like the 5 and 5S for the antennaes.

However since the look of the ipods usually match the iphone, maybe we can get an idea.
According to that it couldn't be an iPod either. An iPod has a small plastic cutout on the back for wifi.
 
Since there's no glass cutouts or black strip like on the iPod is Apple perhaps using liquidmetal?

Does anyone have an actual reference for liquidmetal being radio transparent? By "actual" I mean an interview or paper by someone who actually knows rather than just some anonymous comment or rumor.

I have my doubts, and I think this has become something that "everyone knows" without anyone actually knowing.
