Agree. Particularly after reading this morning's news. ISIS, Middle East, Missouri.
I hope it doesn't wobble but I will probably adapt if it does.
Got a tip for us?

The bending thing. Hmmm. I have my doubts about how people were treating their phones when I saw the photos.
I've had my iPod Touch 5G for 2 years now, which is 1.5mm thinner that the iPhone 5.
I have used it every single day. It's been to festivals, parties, top of mountains, it's been dropped, thrown (when the headphone cable snagged on a branch) and is still as flat as a pencil and in near perfect nick.
I would bet my bottom dollar, if Apple would sell a thin and a not so thin version of the same phone, say Version a) 6.7 mm, protruding Camera, Wall huggers battery, form over function, and Version b) 8.5 mm, flushed camera, fantastic battery life, extremely solid body, that Model b) would sell better.
I'm obviously holding it wrong. The most action my phone gets when lying flat on a table is me pressing the home button to see if I've got a message or missed a call. If I'm typing, it's in my hand. I'll accept that some of you complaining type with it flat, but I reckon the vast majority of users hold their phones when typing or playing games. It's just easier.
Maybe they will use same gyro they mount in 5s and that protrude camera, solves Apple's problem with gro problems - its simple you no longer can put your iP on flat surface to check how really flat it is 
its brilliant :|
they should make that phone thicker for that crazy 0.7mm, and put bigger battery, that would be much, much better for all of us

because anorexia is apple's aim, be so thin your bones start to stick out. Can someone please educate me on this? If the camera protrudes, that means it will be prone to more damage if the phone falls, gets bumped, etc and the phone itself is so thin already (given that this is indeed legit).
Exactly. Apple charge the highest premium prices for their great design and performance. Their design is now dropping to the level of a Huawei phone and performance dropping behind their main competitors in every area - for what? Being thin. Time to prioritise I think.
I was waiting for the iPhone 6 on upgrade and now I think it'll be the HTC One M8, at least I can drag and drop music and films without going through the god-awful iTunes too, there's literally nothing I've seen about the iPhone 6 or iOS 8 that makes it better than what's being made by competitors for less money.
Like i say if iphone 6 will be under 6.5mm thin , yes it can't fit a performance camera in that area...but we are talking about 7mm thin. And i thought Apple will go no thinner than 7mm because of that, to be completely flat
think of it this way. most people will have a case on theeir phone that is the same or thicker than the height of the camera protrusion. so for most. the phone will still sit flat.
Sorry but in this second image ...the iphone is completely flat

I don't understand the obsession with the band issue on the back of the phone at all. Why does this matter to anyone? Do you stare at the back of your phone a lot?
If it's "nothing" then why not leave the entire phone that wide and have a longer lasting battery?
Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Some do, some do not.
Seems to me schematics exaggerate the degree to which certain design elements are noticeable. Here's what the camera looks like on a 5th gen iPod touch. That device is 6.1mm thick. According to the leaked schematics the iPhone 6 is supposed to be 7mm thick. My guess is it will hardly be noticeable or if it is there is a reason for it which won't become clear until the phone is announced and Schiller is on stage talking about the upgraded camera.

wrong
its gonna wobble when its lying flat look the opposite side it not even touching the surface

It won't bother me either. The camera ring won't protrude on mine since I always use a thin case. If I was a naked user, it would bother me though. Especially if it makes for wobbly typing when lying on a desk.
I was thinking about that, and it seems to me that it may have the opposite effect everyone thinks it does. If it simply had a curved back, it would wobble. But having that protruding camera, it may serve as some sort of additional leg so that it wobbles less (but probably still wobbles, since you'd need at least 3 points of contact for it to be stable).
Anyways, I feel like this iPhone's aesthetics look like some kind of merge of Terran and Protoss. All the circles and lines make me think Protoss, while the materials used make me think of Terran. And I haven't been playing StarCraft that much recently (only played once, for about an hour, in the past month), so I don't think this is the result of having played too much recently. IDK, anyone else want to back me up?
But the iPhone 5S in really thin now.
There is room for a small improvement, but only a small one. They cannot make phones that are too thin to be comfortably held in the palm of the hand. You still have to grab it when it lays on the table and I don't think is possible with a device half the size of an iPhone. So they can slim it by 1 or 2mm, no more.
Not saying this is the case, but a near 0.030 inch tall circular protrusion of a ferritic/martensitic stainless steel alloy would be much valued by third party lens makers to magnetically attach and align lenses.
