I will get the phone, no doubt, for the obvious reason of mobile payments and slightly bigger screen. But other than that i am SO disappointed in Jonny Ive.
With all the technology and finesse Apple has (or used to have) they came up with the same huge bezel around the phone between the edge and screen and ear piece and screen or home button and screen.
Ridiculous to say the least. They were so busy making the phone thinner that they lost their sense for design completely. Not to mention the antenna bands on the backside are hideous.
Personally i think if it was only the iPhone coming out, the Apple stock would crash like 20-30%, luckily they will announce the iWatch and perhaps even the new updated iPads, it's their only chance to convince shareholders of continued money coming in.
So to sum it all up: 100% disappointment so far. I hope none of this is true, and i hope they will reveal a whole different look and this was just a bait (or a bad dream)...
See ya on Tuesday
Your first sentence says it all, and Apple knows this. Not directed at you personally, but they know that people will buy them regardless. People don't like the bezels, antenna breaks or protruding camera, but it will have no impact on sales.
I agree. I am not excited by this at all. I like the size of the 5s better. But lot of people would love a bigger phone.
And most importantly there are a lot of people who dissed Samsung when they made bigger phones and they would be the first ones standing in line to get a bigger iPhone. How do you spot those people? They will have a poker face and pretend to not be excited while counting the minutes and seconds, till they lay their hand on one.
Some people seem to consider the protruding camera to be un-Apple like, but at the end of the day it will not keep people from buying it.
"This is so un-Apple like!"
"No way Apple would make a phone that looked like that."
"*Insert aspect of design here* is so ugly, they better change it before launch!"
"Apple is doomed if this is the best they can come up with."
All things that were said of varying frequencies before the launches of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. After the launch? Both phones praised for their clean and well-made designs. The same thing will happen this time around too.
Some people around here seem to have Stockholm syndrome when it comes to Apple. They whine and complain about the company's direction, yet keep buying their products and begrudgingly enjoy them.

That's funny I didn't hear too much complaining when The protruding camera was put on the iPod touch. I don't see what the big deal is but that's the price we pay for a better camera. cameras need depth
And will also be great for third party accessories
What's funny is Apple's own images were the fakes. There was a lot of disappointment in the build of the real device due to this. The Apple images were either computer generated or heavily retouched showing perfect texture and no seams.
I agree with you, i think there are too many icons now, even the design of the passbook icon doesn't look good enough for apple. Besides this would mean that the 5.5 inch could have space for a 7th row of icons vertically if they follow this logic.

Even the best designs will be disliked by some.
For a smartphone, this is the best I've ever seen.
The Screen looks more Saturates, but WAIT ?! The "MUSIC"-Icon, hidden by that piece of paper, hat the right Color gradient, but UPSIDE DOWN?!?!
Again a FAKE Android Skin-Version?
I noticed the color too.
And is the tips app not on the iPhone. Plus I seem to remember that Healthbook having the same kind of striped icon as Passbook. Can someone with an iPhone confirm
If this guy has the real-deal, then he won't mind running some performance tests on the phone.
Strange how the iPhone 6 hasn't shown up in any benchmarks such as Geekbench if so many people allegedly have the real deal.
Also, the animations/speed shown in this "leak" are slow compared to their speed on the iPhone 5s. Given that the A8 will only be faster, I find it hard to believe that this is legit.

This phone ain't running iOS 8. The app icon design is different (gradients are iOS 7 like. In 7.1 they reduced them noticeably)
Agreed
That's pretty true, if everyone can remember the iPhone 4 fiasco.
After carefully analysing the leaked parts in comparison to these photos, it definitely does look like a clone.
The most obvious give away looks like the Apple logo on the back, we've seen a high res photo of the part and it's nothing like this.
It's the same thing dude. The product looks bad in grainy leaked photos. You think giant two-toned bars on the back of the phone were any different than tiny bands along the back? Lol.
As far as the protruding camera..it's a trade off. Apple wanted a better quality camera and a thinner device. Can't say I blame them. The iPod touch has had a protruding camera for several years now and nobody cares.
The Health icon was rumoured to look like the Passbook icon in mockups created by 9to5Mac but it ended up looking like a white square with a heart in it.
