APPLE IS DYING WITHOUT STEVE, NO MORE INNOVATION!!! MAKING A BIGGER SCREEN IS GIVING INTO MARKET DEMAND WHICH ISN'T LIKE APPLE!!! EVERYONE KNOWS STAYING AT 4 INCHES FOREVER IS WAY MORE INNOVATIVE!!! BIG PHONES DONT FIT IN POCKETS, EVERYONE KNOWS ADULT SIZED JEAN POCKETS ARE DESIGNED AROUND THE SIZE OF THE IPHONE 5S!!!!!


Am I doing it right? ;)
 
I will still be in line to order an iPhone 6 but have to admit that I am disappointed that they are sticking with ultimately the same design. I understand that changing to something new is expensive, risky, etc. but just getting a bit bored having this shape/look for a number of years now.

Oh well. Maybe the iWatch will come out and I won't care if my phone looks the same as I will be staring at my wrist from now on:)

I thought you were crazy until I read your sarcasm at the bottom. I still dislike Apple computers but I love the Iphone ever since the first version. Anyone who believes Apple is dying without Steve Jobs is insane and Apple is launching products in the next 12 months that I believe will revolutionize the world the same way the first Iphone did... The Iwatch if it includes all the biometric sensors it is rumored will be bought in hundreds of millions because apps that can predict 15 minutes in advance of heart attacks will be possible with the oxymetric/pulse rate sensor as well as the blood pressure sensor. This is will be in demand by every elderly person in the world...

Apple does not care about how expensive it is to change something... That being said, there is no way this is the final design, Apple won't get rid of dual flash, it improved night time pictures too much to come back on it.

Remember the "tear drop" iPhone 5? Grain of salt people, grain of salt..

Only a grain?

These leaks reveal nothing about the phone except its shape. And they pique interest and create buzz. Apple has nothing to fear.

No specs. No details. No idea if it is even real.

Now if the new features in iOS8 were leaked, I'd be surprised.
 
Ha, Jony doesn't need to design anymore! He can just go to an electronics fair and check out all the mockups, then say, "hey I kinda like this one, I think I'll use this design for the next iPhone!"

While I do agree with you to some degree, Porsche has been doing this for awhile now with their cars. I guess Apple thinks they're getting closer and closer to an ideal design...

The iPhone is the ideal phone. It's what all phone manufacturers aspire to. :apple:

apple is dying without steve, no more innovation!!! Making a bigger screen is giving into market demand which isn't like apple!!! Everyone knows staying at 4 inches forever is way more innovative!!! Big phones dont fit in pockets, everyone knows adult sized jean pockets are designed around the size of the iphone 5s!!!!!

MY HAND! My hand! The new iphone 6 won't fit my hand! No more change! Sj is flipping in his grave!

Yeah but at the time, people didn't know there would be a 4S. The rumored teardrop iPhone was referred to as "iPhone 5", even though the actual phone ended up being called 4S.

Very true (which is why I noted that it was the fifth iPhone). I was just adding some clarification for anyone reading! :)

I wish that was the new design coming this year. So beautiful.

The roundedness of that is more like the iPod Touch 4 which was way to thin with that kind of material since it slid everywhere in my hand. The newer iPod Touch which is slightly thinner with anodized aluminum was much nicer.

It looks daft, looks like a long thin device, I would also hope the rumoured screen resolutions are just rumours, because it's rather pathetic if it has only a 720p screen AND Apple raise the price of it.

I doubt Apple will raise the price. They know how the market works and they know most people buy the 16gb iPhone because it's cheaper. They also know that price has and is still an issue that is brought up with each generation iPhone. They will be forced to reduce their margins once again.

That looks like a garage CNC carved chunk of aluminum not an official mock up.
It doesn't have the new Double flash either

Most of the rumors lately show a round flash rather then the pill shape we have now. I don't think the people who make these mock ups made a mistake with the flash portion. In other words, because the flash is round it doesn't discount the validity of the leak. If anything, the opposite is true. If the leaks were truly bogus, I would think every flash would look pill shaped for sure because no one really expects it to change. But the fact that it's round could mean that someone might know something we don't. Just because the pill shaped flash is new, and it was a nice improvement doesn't mean it can't change back to being round.
 
I don't understand why people expect a radical new design every year... There's only a finite amount of possibilities unless you want them to start shaping it like random household objects, etc.

The other thing that annoys the living crap out of me are the "ME ME ME" people who don't think Apple should make the screen bigger because THEY don't want it. Well, luckily Apple hasn't designed a phone around some of the peeps on this site.

As it has been in the past and into the future, if they release a phone you don't like, don't buy it. Simple!

I agree with your analysis and remember Apple is still sells the most high end smartphone versus any other brand. I've owned the Galaxy S4 and all Iphone, I can tell you in terms of design and finished product, nothing replaces the metal and construction of the Iphone. People who say otherwise are just full of themselves...

If you've seen the HTC one (M8 or otherwise) or the Sony Experia Z2 and still saying this, you're full of yourself too.

On topic; I agree with the comments harking the end to the "thin for thin's sake" redesign. Give me a phone with a battery that lasts as long as an iPad. Can't make a battery with today's tech in the sizes you're making the phone? Then make the phone thicker and slap on a bigger battery. I'm sure no one will mind.
 
I believe everything Chinese businessmen tell me, this IS REAL!! /s
