That's apple's main selling point. People aren't buying iPhones for ios7 (or eye sore 7).
I'm confused by your complaint. Are you saying that you read rumours on a rumours site for Apple and they have ruined the surprise. Because if that is the case then it must mean you expected the rumours to be false otherwise if you expected them to be true and you didn't want your surprise ruined you wouldn't have read them. Then if you expect the rumours to be false and thus not ruin the surprise then I wonder why you would be interested in rumours that you expect to be false. Just askin'
If anyone is dulisional, it's you. And do us a favor, get things right! It was never said "doubling down on security" but "doubling down on secrecy"
Back to your fandroid club now....

Yeah man, that iPhone totally looks like Prada phone.
Question: When was a last time you had an eye test?
Love them or hate them, the breaks are there for a reason. The cell antennas are placed at the top and bottom of the iPhone where the breaks are. If you make a metal encased phone you need a place for the signal to get out. The breaks are typically made of a different material (plastic usually) to allow for this.
Yes. And a few more months of everyone thinking they know what Apple has confirmed before Apple even confirm it. Actually to some people and websites guessing what they think Apple will confirm and incorrectly calling it fact (instead of the rumour or guess it actually is) is how they make their money.
This isn't apple
This is ugly as crap and apple wouldn't release something so ugly.
iOS 7 allows you to switch instantly between apps and to resume an app. When you return to an app, you can pick up right where you left off. Multitasking doesn't slow down the performance of the foreground app or drain battery life unnecessarily.
NOT TRUE! Since iOS 7 Safari and other apps constantly have to refresh, heck even a tab has to refresh in Safari, switching out of this to copy apples definition of multitasking and switching back caused Safari to reload and erase everything I typed.
So, the main spec I care about is the ram, to stop these lousy app refreshes and reloads. If they can't fix that with more ram or fine tune ios 8 I won't be buying an iPhone 6.

Do you want to use the LG Prada?
Nuff said.
R&D is not just about appearance. There's this thing called user experience, and the whole software thing.
Was afraid there would be too much bezel according to some leaks. But next to an iphone 5s the dimensions look a bit off (especially the home button). 2nd picture looks closer to something I'd see Apple releasing. Pretty happy with it. Hope the screen doesn't offset the bigger battery. I'm okay with the battery life from my 5S but I would gladly sacrificed 1-2mm thickness for a bump in battery life any day.

The iPhone Six (M8) looks great so far.
Haha
I for one hope the A8 chip has at least 2GB of RAM, to stop apps from reloading, especially Safari tabs.

Just curious, how often do people actually press the power button on their iPhone? I rarely press mine, instead using the home button to wake it. I sometimes press the power button to turn off the screen, but that's rare and usually just let it timeout.
Posts like these should be reason for a time-out or ban. They are flame bait and serve no other purpose. This has been discussed at length here - from 2007 until 2012 and even beyond. IT IS ENOUGH..
I use it ALL the time. Have a passcode on my phone so I always lock it before setting it down somewhere.
We're going to double-down on secrecy. I'm very serious about this -- double-down.
Though questions have been raised in the past if in fact Apple is behind controlled leaks.
Is it just me who thinks that if this is the new rear panel, that it is unfinished? Could a coating or finish of some sort not be applied meaning that those breaks will not be seen by anyone other than us rumour-obsessed internet types? Just a thought from someone who has no idea on the manufacturing process of these types of thing.
Good point. As the iPhone gets bigger, reaching that button is going to get even more awkward.
I know these things always look better after they have launched, but those random blobs at the top and bottom look really ugly and unfinished.
It almost looks as if they should be covered up by something, perhaps a thin layer of sapphire that wraps round the whole phone.
Edit:
Just saw your post. I can accept the need for some kind of antenna, but I can't help thinking Apple would have made it look better if it had to be on show. Why not just thin horizontal lines like HTC use – to make 3 parts instead of 5? Putting breaks round the curved edges, as well as horizontally, seems to be a strange design decision that makes the phone look unnecessarily busy...and Apple is usually all about minimalism.

I can't understand why everyone hates those antenna breaks . I think that they make the back really beautiful , because without them it would look like the back of the iPod touch and iPad ( just a piece of aluminium , nothing special). But until now , I think the best design was the 5's with the chamfered edges surrounding the glass and the aluminium. The glass breaks were really beautiful and made the back more than just a piece of aluminium. But now that they are gone , those antenna breaks aren't so bad. At least it is better than nothing on the back. I wish they could keep the glass breaks on the top and the bottom , but I have no problems with this design.
Here is how it would look without those breaks: ( the fake leaked images earlier this year)
