No thanks. That looks like crap. The glass slabs only work if they go to the edge, and that can't happen with the rounded corners.
If this is real then every other panel leak is fake because they all had thinner bezels on the too and bottom. How can everyone including macrumors ignore this?!
Looks very real to me.
Hoping the 4.7" and the 5.5" are released at the same time I want to try to hold both before deciding which one to go for.

I doubt it is a fake, too many leaks so far.
But I certainly hope that it is a fake.
Bezels are simply awful. Look at LG G3 for a example. I hope they can manage to do something similar with the new iPhone. Or at least I've hoped... Too bad I can't install iOS on G3

I do have a slight suspicion though... Why are the clock hands so long on the purported iPhone 6?
I agree 100%. And with my small hands, if I can't use it one handed, I will be staying with my iPhone1.RIP one handed use.
What an ugly phone. Lines for no reason, protruding rear camera... Apple no longer has anyone to say "this is not good enough, try again." This design could have been handled by the lowest ranking intern on the industrial design team. Protruding camera, are you kidding me? What is this, a Samsung or Nokia product?
From a design aesthetic, the back of the phone is garbage. Apple should really be ashamed of themselves. I thought I would support Apple no matter what, but today's Apple is clearly not the Apple that I've grown to love over almost 30 years. Such a shame...

Having watched the video, the bands don't seem as obvious IRL. IF this is legit, photo's can have a way of exaggerating image contrast, although I would prefer the color to match the device seamlessly (ha, get it, seamlessly? I kill me!)
This is what I've been saying. Under most lighting the bands just kind of disappear and are much less stark than before. The two toned 5/5S's glass slabs were always clear as day.
each row every 2 years?
What...?
They started to add a row of cons every 2 years...
I couldn't wait to see the phone after 6 years...

You obviously didn't pay very good attention. Everything is displaying backwards, including the apple logo on the back. He clearly filmed this with a mirror, duh.
I agree, that was my first thought as well. The other leaks clearly showed smaller bezels especially on the bottom. The Touch ID almost curved off the edge of the phone, whereas in this leak it appears to be on completely flat portion of the phone. I'm skeptical.
So many people are just in denial. There were some members SWEARING that apple would NEVER release a phone with this design. Pretty comical to say the least. I'm sure we'll have the same people denying the design of the 7 up until they see it on stage in a couple years too.
- Rounded edges on the front can't be glass; that is either sapphire or plastic. Which you believe depends on if you think this is real or fake.
- Spacing of icons on packaging is way off from phone pics; icons are more crowded, larger relative to phone, and no empty space between 5th row and dock
- Settings page shows device name, then network, then 3 object counts (all 0), then capacity. iOS (including iOS8 beta) has always had 4 object types: songs, videos, photos, applications. I suppose it's possible that photo count has been removed as it gets complicated with IPL... but it's there in beta 5.
- There is a new symbol on the back, and they are in a different order. iPhone 5S goes FCC, WEEE, CE, Cetecom, CE Alert. This back goes FCC, WEEE, [plain circle???], Cetecom, CE. The note obscures any additional, but centering against the iPhone logo suggests there aren't any more. That would mean no CE Alert, which might make sense (something to do with RF in France).
- Hole for noise cancellation mic is much bigger on this phone than the 5S. Reasonable? I don't know. Seems a bit odd.
It seems too close to not be real, but there's still room for skepticism.
And those bezels ...
(hope they somehow look more discrete on the spacegrey/black variant).

Older iPhones will probably not get the updated icon. Assuming the new icon represents the inclusion of "iWallet" with Passbook and since the new iPhone 6 is rumored to support NFC, older iPhones will not support "iWallet" and thus will not get the updates icon.
