I'm just pointing to a poll that shows that iPhone 6/6s is one of the least popular designs. Your opinion is relevant but your single opinion can't be extrapolated to everyone, the poll, while not scientific, suggests different feelings. When you have antenna bands that aren't part of the design and instead is a compromise in the design work we end up with rubbish poor design work. Some goes for the protruding camera. It looks like the iPhone 6/6s was welded together from three separate pieces. Disgraceful. I'm aiming for perfection because that is what the Apple brand is about. Anything less needs to be called out for what it is-- absolute rubbish design work.
Your opinion, and that's all it is, while valid for you, and the few that sided with you in this unscientific poll are far out weighed by the 10s of millions who like the design and bought the phone. Your vendetta is getting a bit old, long in the tooth, if you will. And repeating the same agenda over and over does not make it more valid.
Some people, only a very few, based on the sales numbers agree with you, I submit most do not, or else the iPhone 6 and 6s series would have been a dismal failure sales wise. This is simply not the case. The vast majority of phones also have a protruding camera. So the design seems to be of universal appeal. Thinner phone with a better camera that requires the lenses and thickness to produce a better picture. For some strange reason it appears that no manufacturer believes that sales would be higher with a phone as thick as the camera. Sort of telling isn't it.
As for the antenna bands, this is so inconsequential that it hardly seems worth commenting on. But since it is your passion I will. Again a vocal few seem to make this issue their life's work. Firstly I and I suspect most people buy a phone to look at the screen, not the back. Again, sales do not reflect upon any great backlash regarding these lines. I much prefer good radio reception over some arbitrary like or dislike you may have. I don't think the line design looks bad. Regardless I use a leather case because I like the feel and that pretty much covers those lines and oh the camera doesn't protrude either with the case.
Some people hate Picasso paintings, does that therefore equate that Picasso did not produce an artful design? Of course not, it's an opinion. Your blanket indictments go way overboard and definitely do not reflect the majority thinking, nor I suspect even a significant minority. Simply a small number that like to be overly vocal in their opinion.

No one talks about the Note 5 protruding camera because that's what everyone expects of the Note 5, absolutely compromised rubbish design work.
There is no agenda here. You're at the MacRumors forum because people here love most of what Apple does. And when they see Apple getting off track and looking like their lesser competitors, people here complain with good reason.
Nobody here cares what rubbish other manufacturers bring out, what people here do care about is what Apple brings out, and if it verges on the lower standards of competitors, people here will scream loudly to get Apple back on track.
If you think Apple gives a rats ass what limited few people on here rant about, well let me put it to you this way. I have a great deal on a bridge I can sell you cheap.
Apple has repeatedly stated in interviews that they categorically do NOT base their designs on consumer reviews, focus groups or any other such polling. Rather then swing back and forth like some pendulum of public opinion, they boldly design technology for functional use. Does everyone always like what they produce, of course not. To call it rubbish is rediculous in the extreme.
Again, this philosophy seems to have worked for Apple so far, as the sales and profits seem to indicate. Like it or not, this is how Apple operates. Did they come out with a poll to see how many consumers want the 3.5 mm analog jack removed? No
Your opinions are like farts in the wind. So diluted that they are not even apparent. And to top it off Apple isn't even sniffing the wind. But go ahead and continue with your crusade. The Don Quixte of antenna lines. You have a few Sancho Panzas in the crowd.
