If this silver back comes with a black front then I'm sold - otherwise I guess I'll have to take the black "space grey" version. I don't like the white front on any iPhone. :cool:

Couldnt agree more. The white 3GS was the best in that aspect. White back, black front.
 
looks ugly,no question about it.
I'm really losing hope in iPhone 6,and since I'm due to upgrade this year I really wonder what phone to get now.there is no way I buy the iPhone 6 if it looks this bad..and I only want a flagship model so 5s is out..
With this poor and unattractive device ,I think I will be forced to buy android phone for the first tine.
Haha, another one who buy the phone just to look, not use...lol.
 
11 days seems miles off! It's been sometime since I've been this excited about an Apple event.

Definitely doing that more rounded design.

It seems like just yesterday that Apple introduced the NEW 5s and 5c and that it really has not been that long that they have been on the market.

Given, Nintendo waited 7 years between the Nintendo (1985) and introducing the Super Nintendo in 1992.
 
As usual the bands just kind of disappear in most lighting unlike the huge slabs of glass. Bring on the new design.
 
So it was not ugly in your opinion if the bands are full pieces top and bottom like before? I really hate that if Apple still keep the design with 2 off-color pieces at top and bottom.

yes, in my opinion, if this is final design than ip5 solution/design was better
 
So the antenna bands are real? Damn it. It is disgustingly ugly. It's extremely disappointing to see that Apple couldn't figure out a better design for the antenna. It is not pleasing aesthetically at all.

yeah, they don't know what they're doing at all! amateurs! it will never sell! arrrrrrrrrhhhhh!!

:rolleyes:

They had 2 years to figure out where to put the antenna bands and this is the best they could do? Seriously disappointed.

The other features sound great and I'm sure it'll be a great phone, but the back is ugly.

There better be some special purpose to these bands because they're uncharacteristically ugly.

you should probably post a few more times on this.
 
Lol it's hilarious all the people flipping their stance on this now they know it's legit. Hypocrites.

I called it months ago though, just like what everyone did with the iPhone 5. Once you see it on stage you will completely flip your stance and proclaim it as beautiful. :rolleyes:
 
you must have VERY low expectations in general,because you called this god awful design beautiful..it's really not beautiful,it's ugly and it's deginitely the ugliest iPhone after 5c.
So disappointed.

You mean from the back? Cuz the front look the same as before.
People complain about something that's coverred 99% of the time either with cases and their own hands when in use.
 
Haha, another one who buy the phone just to look, not use...lol.

I can't get worked up over leaks like this because with every phone it's the same thing. Leaks come out and everyone says fugly, Apple would never do something like this, blah, blah, blah and then the device gets announced and people love it. So either the real thing will look much better than any of these leaks or there's a reason for this design that will become clear once Schiller is on stage announcing the new phone.
 
how is the solution on the iPhone 5 any better tho. it stands out even more with its ugly white glass bits on the silver center piece (and i own one lol). this one looks more subtle and goes hand in hand with the sides

Stop trying to reason with them, you won't get any where. I've had this argument multiple times on here. Apparently two huge slabs of glass is more subtle than much thinner antenna lines to them.
 
Golden products (iPhone 5s) - Super shiny products (2013 mac pro) - Bands & stripes (iPhone 6). Yep. Tim Cook Era. So what's next Tim? Glitter?

You will hear so many excuses, oohs and aahs from Apple fanboys, that eventually you will LOVE them (the bands that is).

Huh? What makes this any more legit than anything else that's been leaked? It's not like this has been confirmed by any of the usual suspects that have a solid track record on Apple leaks.
 
Would you guys be this upset if they kept the glass pieces on the back instead of these new bands?
 
I like the bands. Really sick of that stupid "These bands are ugly" BS. If someone doesn't like the look of something, it's a matter of personal taste, and obviously, they are more than welcome to express their opinion, but some people act like there is some objective rule of what is beautiful, some kind of "Smartphone Beauty Bible" where the first commandment is "Thou shalt not have bands!"

In any case, my phone goes into a case, and even if it didn't, there are very few instances where I actually look at the back of my phone. And I promise, if anyone on the street ever comes up to me and tells me that the back of my phone is ugly, I am going to donate $1000 to the charity of that person's choice.

Some people buy a phone not to use but to put up side down to look on the back.
 
"rumors have suggested" is the phrase to use. Not expected. It's just an overall better way to say it. You've used in an other article, about time you use it always.

Apple, rumors have suggested, will announce the iPhone 6
That's not so hard to write now it is?

No, it's expected. Has virtually nothing to do with rumors, I expect iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 to happen at the same time next year and the following. Is that based on rumors? No.
 
We obviously have all different opinions but I think it looks good.

Get over yourself, you'll all end up getting it anyway and after a few weeks it'll never bother you again.
