Sorry, gotta compulsively correct Star Wars quotes
: "Who's the more foolish; the fool, or the fool who follows him?"According to the latest drawings, the display will have curved corners, flat sides, and a uniform 4mm bezel all around.

A leaked schematic of ONE possible design of ONE prototype (with no indication that it is even this year's model) signals all of this?
Dude, get a grip.
I would normally agree with you, but this time I'm more optimistic that this is not the case. The article did say there's several prototypes that Apple are considering and this is just one of them.

What drawings? Those that were made by an artist based on a desciption from a foxconn emoloyee? Which do you value most? A real professional looking schematics picture or a drawing based on an unverified source ?
Ya'll complain now, but even if TouchID is on the back, most of you will be placing $1000+ orders for this thing and calling everyone who doesn't "haters". It'll be interesting to see how Apple markets this. They've already used "courage", so maybe "fortitude" this time?
What are the alternatives? Every other major Android device has the fingerprint sensor on the back of the device. So that being equal across all, you make your decision based on other differences.....iOS, camera quality, other hardware design features etc.
More often than not, its folks like you claiming those of us who buy Apple call folks "haters" rather than us actually doing so. I've never called anyone a hater for offering legitimate criticism of Apple. I just require logical thinking in said rebuke....which unfortunately rarely happens here....
Well this is based on the LAST leaked design. They gotta keep up with latest rumors lol
I'll be holding you to that promise!
I think I'd prefer aluminum over glass. I love the matte black iPhones.
Nah, glass will always look better. The iPhone 4 is by far the most unique and beautiful iPhone design ever made.
If they need to put touch ID on the back, just transform the apple logo into a touch ID...that would be the a good way to do it..
If they are going to go that way, why not just make the Apple logo the TouchID?
Dear Apple
Don't put Touch ID on the back. We don't care for facial or iris scanner either. Just reduce the bezels and embed touch id behind glass or just have software touch id button. Don't start at 16gb!!

We have always been optimistic, with every leak, every year, and every year these kinds of leaks became the thruth.
Uh...yeah, I've been using nothing but Apple since I was 11, so I'm one of those "who buy Apple" too. But I'm not one to pounce on every single criticism of Apple. Of course some criticism is exaggerated, and yes, I understand that other companies have the sensor on the back too. But this I think is legitimate cause to criticize them, no matter how great the phone is otherwise. Even if I end up getting this phone, I would still hope for them to eventually innovate out of TouchID on the back.
I can understand him. Name one time these kind of leaks did not become a reality. There was only one time that didn' t happen and that was with the 4s model, that didn' t have a new teardrop design but was the same model as the iphone 4, and that was ages ago.
Of course - I would also be incredibly disappointed to see TouchID on the back but I think the chances it happens are extremely slim.
BUT....if the technology to reliably put TouchID behind the display isn't ready/doesn't yet exist, what is the alternative? Would you rather see similar bezels to what is currently on the iPhone when all other devices are going bezel-less? Or would you rather see TouchID move to the back for a generation or two?
Personally? I say delay the device until the in-screen TouchID tech is ready. I'll gladly wait. But if I had to pick from one of the above, I'd say give my a 7S that looks similar to what I have now. I love my 7 Plus, and the bezels really don't bother me.

True, they're not schematics, but the leaker has been accurate in the past.
Do you have a link to the schematics you're referring to?

Except that we've seen a number of DIFFERENT schematics and leaks that look very different from each other.
The whole song and dance of getting worked up and disappointed over something that doesn't even exist yet has always baffled me.....
When the device comes out and it doesn't meet what you want/need, you have the right to be upset and subsequently not purchase. Until then, all the yelling and complaining is moot because its yelling and complaining about something that isn't REAL.
Apple prepared us for the loss of headphone jack over a year. Why is this any different?
This is the only real liked design, have you seen any other professional looking schematics around , instead of just concepts from artists?
