Am I the only one that doesn't mind the bands on the back?

[100]

I have read so many hate comments on the back bands of the iPhone 6/+ and I do not even care about that characteristic. It may be because I have had a case on, the leather one to be exact. However even with it off I do not consider the lines ugly... It gives it character in my opinion.

I really don't mind them, either. But then again, I don't obsess too much on the back of my Plus.

 

[Americasteam]

I don't mind them either. I really like the design.

 

[Böhme417]

I don't think it will matter, as most people will put a case over them. I'd love to rock a naked phone, but I just can't. That protruding camera lens and the fact that these phones scratch so easily don't allow that to happen.

Who remembers what a phone looks like anyway? Mines been in a case from the beginning. I vaguely remember that it's black.

Couldn't tell you if mine has antenna break lines or not.

The lines are fine. When the 5 came out, I didn't like the back. It was so empty and... Unfinished. The back of the 4 had as much design integrity as the front of the phone. The 6/6+ overall design is a step forward toward complete design. The iPhone is a work in progress.

I agree with all. The band lines don't bother me either. Plus my phone stays inside a case. I don't have the guts to use a 'naked' phone. Although, I love the Macbook pro look of iPhone 6/+.

Te band lines don't bother me, my phone is in a case and even if it wasn't , I'm going to be looking at the screen not the back !

 

[redman042]

I've got an Apple Leather Case on my 6+, and it feels like part of the phone. Don't even think about the lines on th back now. Not that they ever bothered me that much.

 

[mib1800]

those bands remind me of camouflage strips used to hide the design of a pre-launch phone.

 

[Vundu]

I like them a lot more than the glass sections on the 5 and 5S.

The 6 and the 6+ are the best looking phones since the 4 IMO.

 

[ELPresidente720]

I've grown to like them. Going for a clear case as soon as my Air Jacket gets delivered to show the phone off.

"Am I the only one..."

Usually the answer to this one is "no"

 

[Tobias Funke]

They don't bother me but there not nice!

I'm indifferent. Mine is covered with a case anyway.

So is mine but I still know their there!

 

[bunnicula]

True. I am not a fan of them while actually looking at them.

 

[jfyrfytr25]

I dont mind them being there. However, I am an RF engineer and understand the need for them and how awful the experience would be without them. What I dont like is how the bands of the silver and gold one discolor if you have any kind of a case of anything on them.

It looks like this.

Or caseless. Someone's Gold model discolored pretty badly from jeans dye.

 

[jwlbel]

I like them. I have a case on my phone but I use a clear case.

 

[sviato]

They look out of place, causing a deviation from Apple design (in my opinion). I think they could have been better implemented.

 

[xmichaelp]

It appears that everyone made a 180 on their opinion on them now that it's not just a rumor or leak.

I never had a big problem with them. In most lighting they look far better than the 5. You can't even really see them from a lot of angles.

 

[flyinmac]

It looks like this.

Oh that's what my phone looks like

It was in a case simultaneously with being purchased.

I like them too, it actually looks good IMO, if it was all just metal'ed out it wouldnt look as good I dont think, Also call me crazy but I actually do like the slight camera protrusion too with the nice beautiful darkish gray gunmetal ring that surrounds the camera, covered in sapphire lens glass, its beautiful IMO..
