Yes you are wrong. Did you click the link I provided that gave some data on the subject. Just because the people you interact with don't use the 5C doesn't make it an accurate representation of the phone sales in the US or worldwide. I have seen many people using it so if we are using anecdotal observations as evidence I can say it is a fantastic seller.
Can u post the link again
 
It's just an optical illusion because the light falls on the bottom of the back, making the steel brighter than the top. This way the gray on bottom band looks darker even though it's the same gray as the top band.

The gray boxes are exactly the same color. Just the different background colors that tricks your eye. :cool:

Are you drunk? :)

EDIT: sorry! I'M drunk.. just tried eyedrop the two colors in editor. they are indeed identical.. amazing trickery! :)
 
Poor analogy on my part, sorry, I couldn't think of one on the fly. I was basically trying to state that a 37" 480P image (let's say photo) would be stretched out when enlarged to 55", thus showing a pixelated image. If the 4.7" and 5.5" displays aren't increasing their resolution enough, icons and images may seem less "crisp". Based on some of the rumors, there isn't any current support to suggest Apple plans on bumping the display specs to the same level as Samsung and other mobile device manufacturers, something they've gotten slack for already. :)

OK, yes, I see what you mean.
But most rumours have suggested the same 326 ppi on the 4.7" and possibly >450 ppi on the 5.5". Since this is the case, the screens will all look as sharp or sharper than the iPhone 5, which is pretty good anyway.

The ppi isn't the resolution - it how many pixels there are in a specified area. So even though the iP5 and iP6 may have the same ppi, the iP6 will still have a larger resolution.

Samsung may have >500 ppi devices, but then that is obviously more taxing on the GPU, which in turn decreases battery life. Every single post seems to want more battery life, so a much larger ppi isn't really feasible.
 
This leak today got me thinking that it was real, but it's not! The video you linked proves it. I didn't know that the Chinese make such copies of the iPhone. How does Apple allow that??
That doesn't mean anything. For all we know, this phone was built from Apple parts that didn't pass their QA process.

This is the real deal, folks.

Look at the clock icon. (hands too long) Look at the FCC ID at the back. (it's there! FCC no longer requires it if it's reachable through 3 steps)
The hardware and software shown in the picture don't make sense, even assuming it failed QA.

The iPhone 5s is real though. :D

The clock icon reflects a change in a newer build of IOS8.

The FCC ID doesn't mean anything. New phones continue to be released with that information.
 
It ****ing bewilders me how many of you idiots think this is real.

It's ****ing fake.

It's a perfect software replica because it's designed to ****ing con people! It's a scam phone.

I didn't have to see the endless proof it's fake, apple would never make such a stupid icon grid.

Haha :p The eye is easy to trick. If you put a finger in the middle of the picture you can also see they're the same :rolleyes:
 
Haha good one, do you also turn into a tree when you die?
No, its not a joke. You can make your brain believe anything, if only you repeat it often enough. Tell yourself, „I can fly, when I wear a cape.“ and eventually you will find yourself jumping from a high building.
If you've seen any of the leaked screen assembly's they don't match up with that phone in the video. The bezels on the sides and top/bottom will be smaller.
I don't need to see anything. All I need is to tell myself, what the pictures are supposed to prove.
These aren't the droids you are looking for!
 
Fake for many reasons, mac rumors please update title please!

Icons, clock has long arms that don't match ios8, passbook is totally different, safari uses incorrect color gradient and dots are too far away from the edge of the circle, the music app icon has the gradient the wrong way up and the music icon is too thick by far. The screen color is off and not very apple like at all, there is a reason I love the iPhone screens and this is looking too contrasty and saturated like it has no color profiles installed or is a knock off. The biggest give away is the settings app. I got to know it intimately having recreated it myself and the gradient and spokes everything looks wrong.

Page dots are too close to the dock,

Touch ID is the wrong color and doesn't match the face at all, it's greyish. The iPhone5 clearly matches!

The ear slot is too high. Now that's subjective but I've never seen apple put it there due to space requirements of front facing camera above it, there's not enough room on the fake.

All bezels too wide, previous leaks show much thinner and are confirmed in my mind as real with all apple tooling marks etc.

Why does it say SIM, as the operator? That seems like a Chinese fake kind of mistake.

The health app looks fake, the app doesn't follow apple guidelines and he misses the thin tabs at the top because they're fake.

In clock app, there are analogue clock faces to tell the time and then, it flicks to the time, again with those long hands is not an ios feature.

In the camera app there is a weird sun logo that doesn't exists in ios at all

There are other multitude of reasons this us fake such as app spacing not following apples guidelines in ios8' missing animations all over the shop a

Watch him eat his words and delete this account come Tuesday.

Every year an iPhone gets leaked and everyone cries FAKE, yet it turns out to be real.

Eat crow come Tuesday people
 
Well that's because they kind of are ugly. Though I'm still more concerned about how thick, especially the top and bottom, damn bezels are still. the length of this phone is what makes it so awkward.

I know they want the fingerprint scanner but I think I'd rather trade that in for smaller bezels. I don't mind not having a lock or using a code to unlock but that's just me.
They could at least make the top bezel smaller (and there's also a little unused room in the bottom one). I don't know why they seem to be obsessed with the symmetric design. It's not like they have never done asymmetric devices ...

The FCC ID doesn't mean anything. New phones continue to be released with that information.

iOS 8 Beta 5 retained the same clock style as it is now with iOS 7. So, unless they changed it since then, I don't think so...

Also, the order for the EU-required icons is inaccurate, even assuming that the FCC code is real. When does the Exclamation Mark come before the "CE"? My iPhone 4s and 5s have the exclamation mark come after.

The below picture from ibtimes shows it pretty well for both these phones.

Anyone else concerned by the protruding camera. It's going to be what the phone rests on every time you put it down and will likely get scratched.

That new sun logo is the new exposure setting in iOS 8...
 
Lol...from the front it looks identical except longer. The 5.5 will be the same width, but even longer...so it's rounded and longer not impressed.
