Yeah, good education changes people tastes and makes antenna breaks on a phone good looking, that makes so much sense...............
One thing I've seen questioned but haven't seen an answer to I don't think. How are they antenna breaks if they don't penetrate the shell? Would they be directly connected to the antennas from the inside?
I'm beginning to think that the people who are predicting that the lines will be covered by something else, are probably right. A spray coating or another thin shell of material, or ??
It looks somewhat like the inside of the HTC One metal shell. Meaning, the plastic breaks and metal sections have been fused together, so in a photo it might look like there's no breaks.
The HTC One bottom break is clearer, but both top sections look plastic from the inside, even though they're metal on the outside.
At least, that's the way it looks to me.

Then you should tell me which sites you have been following, because I would love to have all the inside information
Or maybe you just missed half of the WWDC keynote, because it was full of surprises!- A new design for Mac OS X: we knew it was coming, but no screenshots where leaked
- Continuity: especially making phone calls and sending text messages from your Mac, but also continuing where you left off and the instant hotspot
- 3rd party Notification Center widgets: something nobody expected to happen
- 3rd party keyboards: something nobody expected to happen
- iCloud Drive: obvious but still new
- Swift: a whole new programming language
And many many small changes not even mentioned (just check the iOS 8 and Yosemite forums here).
People here are just so negative, have impossible expectations or are just trolling. Also looking at this iPhone 6 design, history repeats itself. iPhone 4 was left in a bar, everybody hated the design "this is definitely not something would design", the seams would never happen and when it was presented and explained it was ok and now suddenly it's everybody's favorite iPhone design. The same will happen with the iPhone 6. In 1 year everybody will love it and say it was the best designed iPhone ever.
And a note on leaking parts. I think this iPhone has the least leaked parts since the original iPhone. With all the previous iPhones first all kinds of connectors would leak, then the camera module, then the screen and then the back (or just the entire iPhone like with the 4). Now, we have some possible frontpanel and this. All the Chinese mockups don't kind as they are based on the same rumors we read.
Ditto the above!
I like to see a 5" as the smaller size follow by 5.5". I think the 4.7" is to small after using a Moto X for three days.

I agree, I think those antenna breaks will bring more personality to it, must not judge an apple design on spy picture. As for me I already like it
I like your rendering of the iPhone 6!
Nothing indicates that at all. Good luck on your search though. There are only a few decent 4-4.3" android phones and don't believe any are flagships.
Lines...
I actually think the lines on the back of the Black or White iPhone 6 mock-ups I've seen look OK - the Gold one - not so much but I wouldn't get that colour anyway. Now if they can just get them to light up "Tron" style along with the cut-out Apple logo, that would be cool.

Anyone here have a good reason as to why Apple don't color match their antenna cutouts? Looked really weird in both 5 and 5s, and it seems if they will not color match the antenna breaks on iPhone 6.
For me i like the general style of the leaked version of iPhone 6 but would be much nicer with color matched antenna breaks. Anyway, it will be some time before we know for definite.

This is NOT correct. The original iPhone had a chrome logo embedded through a cut out in the aluminium shell. Actually, this design reminds me a lot of the very first iPhone which in my opinion was beautiful. The only thing I never liked was the plastic antenna cover but I guess Apple can come up with something better a few years later...
If this is in fact the shell of the new iPhone I bet the apple logo will be chrome, black chrome and gold for the silver, space gray and gold iPhones respectively.
I'm looking forward for it! I hope the increase in the size of the screen does not affect the overall size of the device too much. As Steve used to say, a phone must be designed to be used single-handed.
The breaks will be there ... no doubt. I just think the design will not look that dull. Therefore: Mockup.
.....isn't the camera flash cutout on the current iPhone 5S, an oval shape? How can the camera flash on these mock ups, go back to a round design (as in the iPhone 5)?
....sorry, but I am not convinced that we have seen the design of the iPhone 6 yet.

see what happens when you choose to listen to the public instead of continuing making the products you've been for years

1mm thinner means much less volume.. if the device is 1mm taller and 1mm wider but if it is 1mm thinner, the volume of the device will be much less.. I don't have the actual specs but it seems that the 5s is more volumous than the 6 (guessing)
