A one-piece, rounded edge iPhone 6 will get my 5c retired one year early. One no contract, 64 or 128 (hopefully) iPhone six sold. Ouch.
Not much different from the iPhone 5.
I assume those breaks are for the antenna system. But as you note, they don't cut all the way through. I can't believe they would be purely aesthetic.
But then, if you want a seamless back, you could always get a 5c.
Well iPads have much better battery life plus screen isn't the only thing that draws power, everything else will draw either the equal amount of power or less with improved A8 chip.
wow the thickness of those separators on the back, ugly... Apart from that looks nice
I'll bet the separators will be the same color as the body, so my guess is that you will hardly notice them. And since everyone seems to use a case,it won't matter anyway.
Pretty sure it's space grey or whatever they decide to call 'black'. The antenna breaks are black and it definitely looks more grey than gold to me.
Really wouldn't be surprised if this was real. Apple have a talent for letting their products leak before launch. I don't mind it though. Kind if like the shape
With all the things apple has managed to achieve in the past, I'm sure they could think up a way to put the dual led's into a circular inclosure.
if those plastic breaks are for signals to pass through, how come the inside view doesn't show the same plastic break, but rather a continuous metal sheet?
can anyone explain this?
can anyone explain this?
logo looks small to me.
If you feel this way, don't you think that at least one high-level executive at Apple also feels this way? If that were so, it would lead to extensive discussions about this exact issue. Don't judge Jony prematurely.
As for your thoughts of iOS 8 "getting uglier", please point to one solid example. It's different and new, so maybe that's the only reason you don't like it? Please, enlighten us.
Yah, these "leaks" are definitely suspicious. If they represent the final product, I, too, will be mind-blown. I doubt that will be the case (pun intended).

Not really, i mean yes 5c is seamless back, BUT if they do the antenna system go through the apple logo(like wifi in the iMac) they can make a seamless back
Jony was noticeably absent from the WWDC Keynote. I was expecting one of his white-background videos.

I don't. I like to use "volume up" as a camera shutter (since that functionality exists). With the power button directly opposite, I'll be shutting the phone down every time I take a landscape photo (just like what happens on a Galaxy S5). Bad ergonomics if you ask me.
I also like the fact that one of the sides of my iPhone 5 is flat, so I can stand the phone up on it - useful for hands-free Skype/Facetime or video watching... though that isn't going to work with rounded edges anyway.
Why move it anyway? What's wrong with the top edge? I guess it might be a pain on a large phone, but I don't want one of those anyway, I want a phone I can fit in my back pocket and still sit down without bending it. iPhone 5 is already a bit long actually. This new phone looks like it would fail that test.
And Phil was absent. But we will see them in the next events of this year. I mean in all of them
