iPhone 6 Mockups of Low Quality, Antenna Breaks Not in Final Design

Yes, but they've made it thinner. Don't you see? Thinner! THINNERRRR! *shoves it in your face*
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!
It's hardly noticeable.
I suppose you've never dropped anything by accident, then?

No, I pay attention and I'm not clumsy and careless.
wherefore aren't thou, new headphone jack?
None of the mockups circulating seem to show the lightning-style headphone jack Apple is expected to introduce. Much is being made of how thin the iPhone 6 will be, and replacing the traditional headphone jack with lightning-style (say that like you would "Gangnam Style") is supposed to enable them to make devices much thinner.
As for the large size, did no one notice at WWDC this year that they are introducing the iPocket, a pocket which integrates with your current clothes and is big enough to hold the new phones? It even has a charger built in.

Why the heck would u buy something that u think makes u look like an f'n tool? That's just a ridiculous. Just keep ur 5S so u can continue to look cool. Simple.

Sapphire isn't a done deal. Not by any means. I have a feeling that sapphire will be the big feature on the 6S.
If I recall correctly, the lightning headphone jack is not a replacement for the regular headphone jack. It gives you another option for higher quality audio output only.

Sapphire isn't the only material that scratch resistant, Gorilla Glass is only slightly less hard.
^This.
Only downfall is my 128GB 5.5 is going to cost me 400$ :O
But if it really does have OIS, AC wifi, 128 Storage, and an extremely nice screen, i feel like it be worth every penny. 400$ phone now, 200$ per year is what i normally spend anyways, i update usually every phone released. i feel like i wont mind skipping the 6S if all is true!
Ideally scratch resistant sapphire combined with aluminum in a seamless construction means the unnecessary need for a case.
I mean if this thing is as thin as some of the mockups, the last thing you want is to bulk it up again and hide the design (unless it has those thick antenna lines).
I am a 6 foot male. and i am also in no way being condescending. you have your 4 inch phone, i want my 5+ inch phone. now we both win. its not my fault i have huge hands, nor is it yours for having small hands. I want a phone proportionate to my hand. Your "big enough" phone is "way too small" for me. this also goes with the theory of me looking like an idiot with a big phone to my ear. it doesnt look like that big of a phone when i hold it. kinda like how KD makes a basketball look like a softball..

Well regardless I've always suspected that this was not the final design. Apple would have zero reason to provide anything but dimensions of the final design, not the exact look of the device.
Sapphire would provide great protection for a curved screen that say flush with aluminum on the edge. If the rear of the phone does contain windows those windows could be sapphire as well.

Hmmmm
Dropped my iPod a few times - the only time any real damage was done when I was walking to work, headphones in, changing a track on the iPod.
I went to walk past someone on a narrow bit of pavement, I turned sideways to let them through and my headphone cable got caught on one of their coat buttons, ripping the iPod out of my hands and onto the floor, cracking the screen.
I really don't think I could have avoided that one haha
Accidents will always happen.
What curved glass means to me is that maybe there won't be as noticeable of a bezel? But then again, the iPhone 4 has glass over the bezel, so my hopes may be unfounded. I also and thinking if the phone has glass sitting on top of the metal portion, it means the phone may be thicker than initial suggestions...

Get some JayBird Bluebuds X bluetooth headphones
I also had the same exact thing happen to me when I went for a jog. The cord got tangled and ripped the phone away from me onto the pavement and shattered the back glass. Fortunately that side was cheap to replace.
