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

[gugy]

If this is the real deal, I think Jony lost some of his step. Maybe Marc Newson can help.
While I don't ever expect huge revolutionary designs on the iPhone, they should be making it better looking than what this article shows and that backside is ugly and the thick bezel should not be there anymore.
For a company obssesed with thinness, it's interesting that bezel still make the cut.

Fake or Real: Doesn't matter to me

Reading all the comments helped me get through Saturday. 2 more days to go.

Is the front more glossy than on previous iphones?
Looks VERY glossy
(not the glass but the white edges/panels)

An optical illusion?

Funny how you still don't get it. Both glass panels have the same bezel size. BUT only the black one, where the tapered edge begins, is reflecting more light and therefore it seems like there is the end of the bezel. On the white front panel this effect doesn't work because it's already white and you will not notice a difference in light reflection - you will think the glass panel goes on and has a bigger bezel. In fact the white one flushes towards the edge exactly the same way as the black one.
If you still don't get it, wait till the iPhone 6 is in stores and try it for yourself.

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. She'll looks spot on though.

Nooooope, this is just another clone, look at the flash, it is just a hole with a small square single color LED inside, in the images from feld & volk and this chineses ones you can see that it is a true tone flash

Looks VERY glossy

Optical effect of the curved edges which curve and taper off to the chassis.

 

[Anti-Lucifer]

why are some of you still doubting the authenticity of these leaked iPhone 6's?

This image says it all, folks:

Even after so much evidence that this is fake (fake box, old iOS icon design, guys with a good record saying on twitter that this is fake etc.), people still think this is real... Ok

 

[MrGuder]

Looks too long

Remember when iPhone 5 was released and people said it's too tall?

Look at the 1st photo comparing the 5 to the 6, look at the bottom, the 6 is almost 3/4" longer. Now I'm looking at my iPhone 5 now and thinking wow do I want it 3/4" longer/taller?

I don't really want my phone to be taller/longer than the iPhone 5. Can you imagine how the iPhone 4 people are going to feel looking at the 6, it's going to be super tall/long?

Every time I see an iPhone 4 user I always say to them, why don't you get the 5 and the answer is always the same...I like this one, I like the size.

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.

Only one who have iPhone 6 now is one who's working at Foxconn, so no he'd not risk his job like this.

More evidence from Steve Hemmerstoffer that this is fake:

Strange that for some reason, the bands on the back don't bother me at all now.

D.

Not strange at all. This is the same site that one refused to believe a phone over 3.5 inches could ever be useful.

 

[MacOG728893]

I'm too lazy to search this whole thread, but did any one mention we get another row of apps! :roll eyes:

Edit: Just out of curiosity. Even though most people believe this exact unit to be a clone, does the community believe that this will be the general design scheme of the iPhone 6?

I know that no one 100% can be sure. Just want to see everyones opinion.

 

[DoctorKrabs]

There isn't a Chinese word/character for "Safari" or "Passbook"

They look equally spaced.

Safari is not literally a Safari, so it makes no sense to use the Chinese word.

Can you imagine how the iPhone 4 people are going to feel looking at the 6, it's going to be super tall/long

It is absurdly long.

But hey, it's the tallest phone in the world!

 

[Gill Bates]

I actually like those back rubber bands. Elegant, fresh and blends good with the aluminum

 

[mariotr87]

Have the front facing camera and the light sensor switched their locations? Or is the light sensor now bigger and the camera smaller for no reason?
Weird.

 

[kerrikins]

There was someone a couple of pages back, that's who I was referring to...

Antenna bands on HTC are nowhere near as thick or ugly, I think the M8 has gotten too large though, the One was near perfect.

G3 does have a clunky camera but the front is very nice with minimal bezel, max screen (still a bit large) but the protruding camera on the iPhone 6 is still a let down.

http://www.getmobilepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/htc-one.jpg

To me that looks just about the same size... Obviously I'd need to see the two phones side by side, but I really don't get why you think the One is 'near perfect' and the 6 is hideous.

I'd far rather have a bit of a protruding camera than the weird cameras on a lot of other phones. Like look at the S5...

No it doesn't match.
The bezels have been smaller in many of the more realistic leaks.

That's good to hear, though I still don't get why so many people are eager to proclaim it as fake. Like, it's not going to be far off even if the bezels are smaller, so...

 

[matrix07]

Yes, the band looks pretty good now, unlike the leaks that were very awful.

 

[DoctorKrabs]

Weird.

The camera has gone back to the left of the earpiece just like that iPhone 4 that was so perfect when the iPhone 5 was new and ugly.

 

[ColdShadow]

And those bezels ...
(hope they somehow look more discrete on the spacegrey/black variant).

(Picture from the same cbBeta thread).

Unbelievable..those bands make it look as if the phone is already inside some nasty rubber bumper or something..

 

[kerrikins]

Not strange at all. This is the same site that one refused to believe a phone over 3.5 inches could ever be useful.

I swear this tired comment will be trotted out in 2020. 'This site' as though the posters here are a monolith, or can't have their opinions change over time...

 

[ColdShadow]

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.

Nobody cares about iPod touch protruding camera because nobody cares about iPods anymore,iPod is not an important and essential nor expensive device,iPhone is..

 

[unobtainium]

What do picture frames have to do with phones? Do you hold your phone by the edges like you do a tablet?

The bezel frames the phone screen in the same way a picture frame encloses a painting or photo. It's more aesthetically pleasing, imo.

I wrap my hand around the 5 often.
