iPhone 6 Renderings Based on Leaked Schematics Highlight Larger Displays

How is that render a "6C".....

The rounded edges of the C actually make it far more comfortable to hold. If it had the same internals and TouchID, I probably would've opted for it over the 5S (even without the metal).

As it stands, the iPad Air and rMini designs are fantastic - I wouldn't mind seeing an iPhone designed similarly.

I know it's not a render of the 6c but it looks so damn similar to the 5c. I save the plastic for my Android devices, when it comes to Apple, gimme my metal with chamfered edges or at least something similar. IMO, this is what gives the iPhone that unique look. Not a fan of the 5c and definitely not a fan of this render
 
Please Apple, please bring back the comfortable heft of the 3G S - that's a lovely piece of ergonomics :) just bought my Mum one for £35 (her first ever smartphone) and she says it trounces ALL her previous phones.

Sorry, but it does look like an M8, Apple would sue HTC if they launched an iPhone like that and then the M8 was launched and people on here would go on the hating rampage stating HTC had ripped off Apple's design.

I do remember Apple attempted to claim the Galaxy tabs looked like an iPad, including from the back with giant SAMSUNG writing on them!

Except for the fact that these concepts look like the iPad Air/rMini - both of which came out before the M8 (and even the M7 in the case of the original mini).

So.....

(1) I'm staring at my 5C - that render doesn't look like my 5C.

(2) That render looks like its made out of metal to me....

(3) Agree that the original render in this thread isn't the best - there's one a page or two back that is absolutely perfect.

So your first comment would then clear HTC of any copying, that's what so. Basically this is a fake render that someone has based on the HTC M8 and the iPad Mini.
Click to expand...

Wait - what? Did I say HTC copied anyone? I don't think they look anything alike! You do....

And its a REAL render (does a "fake render" exist?) of the purported iPhone 6 based on "leaked schematics" which may or may not be accurate.

Uhh - kinda? But not really - they are the same color (almost) and they are both rounded at the corners.

Other than that, there's no curve in the iPhone back like the HTC, not front facing speakers, TouchID is absent on the HTC and the bezels are completely different.

The renders look like shrunken down iPad Airs and rMinis. Not the HTC One IMO.

Yeah it doesn't look anything the HTC One M8.

And this: So..... meant what then?
Click to expand...

It meant, your point makes no sense. Even if you WERE to say this render was an M8 copy, its still looks more like the rMini/Air than the M8 - so someone who make the above claim would essentially be saying HTC copied the iPad Air/rMini.

Since I don't think the render looks like the M8, I obviously don't think they copied anything. However, you seem to think so.

No chance on the camera position; that's so horrendously out of balance, not a chance Mr Ive would overlook such a HUGELY ugly design flaw; look how balanced the camera is on iOS devices - someone's pulling someone's proverbial leg here:

its not that far in the corner at all. Although I agree it is in a bad position, the worst part is the curves. This isn't HTC!!!

Here's that render I was talking about being the perfect one - I'm sure you've seen it.....

Minus what looks like a protruding camera. The phone should be as thin as the camera kit. If the camera apparatus needs to be 7.5mm thick, so does the entire device. And I'm totally willing to sacrafice top-to-bottom symmetry for the smallest overall device size with a 4.7" display. If you take more bezel from the top than the bottom, so be it. The sides need to all but go away.

THIS should be the iPhone 6.

Let's look at the camera position from 3G S onward, and then we'll see how hideously retarded it looks on this render:

May be fake?

These were commissioned renderings to show scale and general proportions.

I'm talking about the drawings, not the renders. How could the rest of my comment even make sense if were talking about the renders?

If you're going to attempt correcting someone, at least read his comment in full.

Late last month, a set of alleged design drawings was published by Japanese magazine MacFan, showing dimensions for upcoming 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch iPhone models. It's not uncommon for us to see design and case leaks in the months leading up to the new iPhone release.

In some cases, as with the iPhone 5C, early design leaks turn out to be quite close to the final product, though in other instances they turn out to be inaccurate.


Based on those drawings, MacRumors commissioned designer Ferry Passchier to create some full product renderings of the rumored iPhone 6. While these aren't the first renderings, we asked Ferry to also show how they would compare in size to existing devices such as the iPhone 5s and iPad mini.


The iPhone designs in the drawings include several differences compared to the iPhone 5s. The top power button has been moved from the right side to the left side of the device. The rear camera on the larger model is also shown as protruding slightly from the rear shell, as is the case with the current iPod touch. The camera flash has also reverted back to a round-design unlike the one found on the iPhone 5s.

Left to Right: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 (4.7"), iPhone 6 (5.7"), iPad mini​
This image shows how the new iPhone 6 design compares to the existing product line. The iPhone 5s is depicted on the left with a 4" screen, while the iPad mini (7.9") is on the far right. In between are the rumored 4.7" and 5.7" iPhone 6 from the design document.

Over the weekend, an Apple slide deck from April 2013 surfaced from the ongoing Apple-Samsung patent trial, illustrating Apple's awareness that smartphone growth was coming from the low end of the market and in phones with screens larger than the iPhone's 4-inch display. With the slides noting that "customers want what we don't have", it's clear why Apple is reportedly planning to increase the size of the iPhone's display with this year's models. The iPhone 6 is expected to debut this fall, although a recent report from Reuters claims that the larger version may not be ready to launch at that time.

We can't be certain these schematics are accurate, but Apple clearly sees the need to address the larger smartphone market. We expect more leaks in the future as production of the iPhone 6 begins ramping up.

I missed this, these are fake renderings, does it state made by Apple on them? No it does not, they are fake, they are not in anyway endorsed by Apple, they are fake. Why did you not understand that and instead claim I said a render was a fake render as in, it was not in itself a render?

I'm curious what made the 4/4S "not boring".....not that I didn't like it, but its funny that the word "boring" is brought up.

You prefer the 4/4S design - which is completely fine. But to say one is more "boring" than the other doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I personally think the iPad Air/rMini form factor is the best Apple design thus far. Ready to get away from the "sharp" edges. The 5C is SO much more comfortable to hold than my 5S.

Different people prefer different designs, this render is boring, nothing exciting, plain Jane. Dull.

Why not?
This simple move of a physical button will be touted as Astounding by Apple and its followers.

Please. Thats immature, why do people browse macrumors if they hate apple/apple fans?, Since when did people say moving a button was "Astounding"
some of the older iPod Touch models had it like that.

It's doable, much better than what is in the original post but still not what I'm expecting.

I can't seem to find it but there was a render on here, I think from last year that had more of a 5s look. I'll see if I can scrounge around for it. IMO, that's the best render to date.

So in the definition of render, there's a line that says "must be confirmed/made by Apple"?

A render is a render. There's no "fake" render. Now is this based on anything confirmed? No. The schematics are rumored to be factual, but they may not be.

But they are also "real schematics" - just perhaps not of what will turn out to be the iPhone 6.

Be careful how you word things. You think you mean one thing, when you're saying another.

What are you expecting design wise?

Simply curious
 
It astounds me how many people post "concept" images based on what they think Apple should be looking to release (IE: their fantasy iPhone), instead of studying meticulously Apple's history and legacy of form, looking at Jonathan Ive's previous work at Apple, and the way in which Apple product elements balance and compliment one another in a subconsciously obvious way - kinda makes you feel "well why would it be any OTHER way?" inside - not something easy to put into words, but you just get a very satisfying "feeling" inside... like a mental sigh of delight.

This evokes NONE of that. Am I the only person who "gets" this about Apple form? I hope not.
 
Bigger? Really?

How about Better, or longer lasting Battery, or less Bulk, or ....
(bigger....seesch)
 
Larger iPhones are perfect!

Perfectfor teenage boys who worry about size.
Perfect for those who miss carrying boom boxes on their shoulders.
Perfect for the poor slobs who can't afford an iPad.
Perfect for people who enjoy display.
Perfect for High Proles.
