Again this is fake as you can get and looks nothing like the real deal. I've already posted about 20 different reasons this is fake. I actually can't believe everyone is falling for this one!
And others posted 20 different reasons the Feld&Volk iPhone can't be the real thing. It doesn't have any legal print on its backside, the gearwheel isn't from Apple and the iTunes icon has the wrong color. Also only because the video quality is higher, doesn't mean the build quality is higher too. Feld&Volk might just have a better camera.
 
We have no idea if Marques Brownlee's screen part was legit or not.

So far the only leak that gets me is the chinese one. If it's a fake then they have done a master job of copying iOS and it's animations.
 
I'm more and more believing that there won't be any 5.5" iPhone this year.

It was probably only a "prototype" tested by Apple (which explains the few components leaks we saw).
 
I think it is legit.
I have seen the last review.
Perhaps it is not the final product, and a prototype or something.
But in the last longer review, i quite liked it.

The problem is that this is a white sample of the iphone 6, and the glass is curved downwards againts a silver case.
Because of the light and the low res of the video, you can' t see the silver and the white as separte parts.
That makes it look very bulky and you can' t really see what is the bezel and what is the side of the silver case.

In real life it will look a lot nicer, and in black/space grey you can see the separtion between the two parts better than in this video.

The same goes for the white/silver lines, in this video with bad lighting it looks ugly, in the final version and in real life it will look a lot better. I quite liked the lines in the feld volk video on the space grey version. They seem to blend in a lot better.

I am curious if the gold version will keep the white lines, it could look very nice.

The camera that sticks out, i don' t like. Let' s hope it is a lot better than on the iphone 5s..
 
But here are the bezels much, much thinner, look at the picture

But i think it is the same, in these real iphone 6 review video, most footage is not filmed directly from above, a little bit from the sides. Together with the silver case and the downward curved sides of the frontglass, there is too little contrast.

In your foto the glass is black and the background is red. A very high contrast and the black reflects light better so you can really see the curves. If you get the feld volk video, they also show the black and the white glass, but the white seems to have larger bezels, although they are the same.
 
I'll be laughing my socks off on Tuesday if this isn't the design. Apple will have trolled all the impatient fanatics with an early working prototype of one of their many, MANY prototype iterations.

I can't see this being it, no matter WHO tells me it is, I don't buy it AT ALL.

PS: Don't try and "convince" me in replies - that won't work.

Adding to my sig to rub it in your face when you're wrong.

You don't say? :rolleyes:

I've seen no 5.5-inch component leaks. I've seen parts who are allegedly meant to be for an imaginary 5.5-inch iPhone. Big difference! No prototype parts escape Apples laboratories with their rigid security measures. What we see as leaks are parts from the production process, which are already build in the millions and can impossibly be kept secret by Apple police, because they go through too many hands.
 
The more i look at the video, the more i like it,when he lays it on the table you can see the shape better and there is mire contrast.

Mark my words , the bezels are a little smaller, it is thinner and lighter than the 5s, it is faster, and i hope it will have a better camera.

In real life it will look nice, and everyone will change his mind.

Not so sure about the bands on the back though, if they made it from a more shiny /metal like plastic they will look nicer. Just have to wait and see for myself.
 

You think the home button sitting that low in the front panel (in the right hand image) is right? There's more space above it than below, where there's almost no surround at all, which would make it very fragile as well as aesthetically off-putting.
 
You are right. Any worker who does not have a break every half an hour (or whatever) and get paid $10.10 per hour and work around 6 hours a day...... you know, it's definitely a SLAVE!! When will people realise that the rest of the world is not America??

On the topic, I think this thing is the real iP 6! Quite disappointed on 2 visual things. 1 - the thick bezels, 2- the extra stupid row of icons :mad:

Uh, which country has those labor laws you mentioned? Certainly not America.

I agree, and the one alledged 5.5" display panel image we saw, looks like a another 4.7". Just look at the hand...
 
Perhaps there are 2 versions of a front glass.
I remember apple wanted to make it thinner, so they put 1 layer of film in the display, but after quality controll they scrapped that and made it 2 layer.
They could have changed the design of the front glass a little , so they could handle this.

Or this is a earlier prototype.

I hope so, i like the film of the black one better than the white one.
