I quite like how Space Gray looks on the iPad (solid back) but if the iPhone 6 doesn't look like that I'm switching to Gold.
Got a tip for us?

I think we will have a semi-repeat of 2011...
People thought we'd be getting this "iPhone 5" in 2011:
There were renders, cases released, etc... but NO LEAKED PARTS.
What we got was the 4S.
Fast forward to 2014. We keep hearing all of these stories about a 4.7" AND a 5.5" model. There have been renderings, 3d printed mockups, and rumors...
BUT... the only PARTS leaked are for the 4.7" model.
I think 5.5" was only an idea... that WON'T hit production this year.
That's not true, there were rumors it would be out at the same time a few weeks after that rumor came out.
Uh... I dunno where you've been... but the last iPhone that was a surprise was the original iPhone... The second most surprising was 2011... only because until about a week before announcement, everyone expected the "tapered iPhone 5" and all we got was the 4S.

Grainy pictures, blurry. Picture quality is zero.
Must be legit.
Is it just me or does the gold look more gold and the space gray looks darker??
Maybe it's just me...
I'll take this leak with a grain of salt but the more and more I see, the more excited I am to get rid of my iPhone 4

The problem with this is, the 5.5 is an idea that will upset a lot of folks if it turns out to merely be a rumor. The 4S was still a nice phone, but if the screen size wasnt going to change I don't think people really cared if it looked different from the leaks. There are a lot of people, myself included, that are going to look elsewhere if they don't get a 5"+ iPhone.
Surprisingly, absolutely no one is surprised that you're excited.
Pretty sure you would be excited by a leaked piece of gum chewed by a Foxconn worker from the iPhone assembly line.
I don't think I even want a larger screen iPhone so it is surprising. I mean, Apple may surprise us with usability and suddenly change my opinion about the perfect device size, but at best I'm on the fence right now until the announcements come.
I think this is a very real possibility, and one that many people are going to be fairly shocked by. The comparison to 2011 seems pretty apt.
Apple has changed it a few times:
- With iPhone 4/4s, the SIM tray is the same
- With iPhone 5, Sim tray was silver or gunmetal
- With iPhone 5s, silver, gold, and space gray.
So this is really news, the fact they are keeping it
Inevitable. But now I have to decide what colour I'm going to get. I have been really enjoying gold with my 5s and could see myself going for a gold iPhone 6. But then is it good to go for the same colour again? I can't really see myself going back to black since my iPhone 4.
I'll probably go gold.
I'll probably go gold.
Pretty sure you are wrong.
Actually... the whole "4S" thing didn't even come to light until a few weeks before the launch in September. Here is an article in August that still suggested a bigger tapered iPhone 5 in 2011:

The Gold Sim Tray Looks more like darker then the iPhone 5S. I just might have to go with then option then Space Gray.
