Apparent Working 4.7-Inch iPhone 6 Reveals Home Screen Layout, Passbook Icon With Payments [Updated]

If the leaker shows the face then most certainly it is a fake. Still I don't think the real one will look markedly different than this.
It's big because the bezel is still HUGE. There is no improvement in aesthetics at all:
1. huge bezel making the modest 4.7" size into a massive phone
2. Black border around the screen which is especially visible on the white model
3. huge bezel
Bezels should be gone by now it really takes so much away from the phone
Good luck with keeping my 5S? I don't think it's going to expire. Not everyone wants to carry around a boom box with them.
There were lots of leaks about the healthbook app and well - they were fake.Sadly, the fact that this is the 1st view of the updated Passbook (that I'm aware of at least) makes me believe this is real.
Has the Passbook icon appeared ANYWHERE before this "leak?"
Its the opposite, he is proud to show his face for holding the first working version. Its China, I dont think Tim can assemble their SWAT team just by making a phone call.
Why do picture frames have such thick bezels? For one thing, it actually looks better. Phones have an additional reason: holding it easily without triggering the touch screen. I know there are software workarounds but they're not ideal.
Seems that the bezels haven't become thinner: If this is the real deal I would be disappointed!
This is an optical illusion.
It's because of the tapered glass panel: on the black one the light will be differently reflected and therefore it seems like it has a way shorter bezel.
Nope, you are discosidering the rounded glass edges, in this image with feld & volk prototype these edges are already covered by the red rectangle but you can't see them because of poor light, and in the chinese photo you can see the edges.
It's a difference to hold a Phone or to hold a tablet. iPhones don't need large bezels imo
What do picture frames have to do with phones? Do you hold your phone by the edges like you do a tablet?
Some words are hard to translate.
You know what iPhone is called in China? Yeah, you guessed it, it's iPhone. The same is true with iPod, iPad, MacBook....
Ummm
Not sure but isn't this the same phone? Posted August 4th....

..edit.. I see it's slightly different in the fake OS, and the sensor/cam area. Shell looks spot on though.

Seriously, and for most it's just going to go in a case! Not really getting the whole back band issue... chances are it will look much better in person anyways.
I think you're extremely naive if you don't think this is at least 95% how the iPhone 6 will look.
I would have to say a few things. I know many won't agree.
Brand new phone, all new and exciting things ahead.
I will admit to being tired of the same old unimaginative dead icon grid on screen that, let's be honest has not changed since iPhone1.
I know if it ain't broke don't fix it, but after 7 years you cannot think up any significant new ideas?
The MEGA BEZEL is showing "Jonny No-Ive-Dea" to be lacking in any imagination.
The rest of it I'm fine with, even the rear antenna breaks.
It's just looking old and tired as a design from the front on view and it's not even out yet.
And that's a dam shame
Yeah but those phones don't have these GIGANTIC empty spaces on the top and the bottom.
That makes the height of the devices just huge.
I think a lot of pants won't even fit that anymore....and just imagine the 5.5
