Maybe when I see it in front of me in person I'll like it. However, from these leaked photos it doesn't look too good to me. Also, a single speaker seems to be a step down from the two speakers on the iPhone 5S -- but I like the bigger screen.

a new report from well-sourced Japanese news agency Nikkei says the actual iPhone 6 and iPhone phablets antenna designs will differ dramatically from the mockups that have been floating around for months.
According to the report, the markings on leaked schematics that iPhone 6 model makers have used to place these plastic inserts are actually designations for areas that will be completely covered by glass, just as the top and bottom of the iPhone 5s case feature glass inserts. This would obviously completely change the look of the phone compared to what we have seen thus far.

Since aluminum is very easily scratched (way easier than the front glass) I always put my phone face down on the table.
Also prevents people from looking at incoming messages or calls.
So I always look at the back of my iPhone.

Yeah, I wouldn't say they're colored either, just react to the light differently than other parts we've seen.
That plus 99% of iPhone users have their phone in a case. The only time the see the back is the 2 seconds before the case goes on. I'm not wild about the bands but ultimately, I just don't care. It's not going on my wall. I'd rather have a phone w/ bands that gets good reception than one w/o with spotty reception.
I have a non-rhetorical question for anyone who is genuinely bothered by the bands:
Will you likely have a case on it that covers/hides the rear shell? If so, help me understand the issue then. I'm sincerely interested.
Sometimes I read these threads and think I must be the only one of the 250 people who have responded who uses a case that covers/hides the rear shell.

The iPhone 5s has also only one speaker. Every iPhone has just one speaker. On the other side of the lightning connector is always the microphone.
I'll preface this comment with the fact that I'll still be buying this phone but I really hate the back. If the lines were just straight across, I suppose I'd like it more, but the fact that they wrap up (or down depending on if your looking at the top or bottom) makes it look terrible.
Can anyone really say the back of this phone looks better than the one M8?

When the actual phone is released, it will look beautiful, bands or no bands. If they are wide, then there is a very good reason for it.
Well, he wrote it, thats kind of implied since its subjective.
Looks great to me too.I really dig on the bands, Ive mentioned this before, I think its an interesting design aesthetic thats also likely very functional.
True this is the internet after all... every sentence would start or end with IMO.
Defintiely looks better with the slight colouration IMO.
