You do know that force touch will also enable more precision pen support? Force touch is an umbrella for several different things not just how it's being used on Watch.
The underwear in this example is analogous to the iPhone case—not the iPhone—both conceal the protruding bits.
I guess you forgot about all those who complained about the iPhone 4 when it leaked and how Steve would never have approved those fugly lines on the stainless steel band. In fact Steve even made fun of it during the WWDC keynote. Steve approved the hockey puck mouse. He approved the buttonless shuffle and fat nano. He would have approved this too.
Just like always.
With all the part leaks there will be a complete rendering of the new phone with all the details one month before the 6s/6sPlus go on sale in September.
Have you tested the premise that a pristine iPhone sells for a helluva lot more?
I did some quick ebaying a few years ago when I got my new iPhone5 and was worried about it loosing value. I looked at used iPhone4 and 4S models on ebay.
As far as I could tell, a pristine iPhone sold for only about 10% more than a scruffed up one. Indeed, there was almost no difference in price between having a few minor non-screen scuffs and mint condition. Prices only dropped more than 10% when it was very damages - cracked glass and all.
You paid ~$60 for a case and a screen protector to preserve about $60 in a value, the way I see it (odds are, when the 6S is released, a 64GB iP6+ won't be worth more than ~$600 give or take even in the best condition). I think you're going to break even only, give or take again.
That said, my iP6 has been naked since I got it in October. If I cleaned it out with some compressed air and a nice cloth, I don't think you'd know it I've kept it naked all this time. The iPhone6 so far has been much much more scratch-proof than the iPhone 5.
Add into the equation however much it is subjectively worth it to you to use the iPhone unobstructed by gimmicky condoms. For me, it's worth something. For me, I'd say it's worth another 10% of the value to be able to use it in it's best cleanest form. So for me, a pristine iPhone should sell for 20% or more than a scuffed up one on ebay for it to be worth putting it into a case and screen protector.
You could've saved a lot of typing by simply stopping after your initial question.
The answer is yes. Been doing it since my iPhone 3G.
In my defence, both the 4s and 5s included minor design changes to incorporate better / fixed components. The 4s even to correct the antenna grounding issue.
I mostly don't use a case and the camera bulge basically communicates that Apple don't care about making the best product anymore. They'll give people 99% and they'll just have to live with it.
This is such an issue that these TWO iPhones (6,6+) have literally crushed their predessors and will round out their lifecycles at over a STAGGERING 250++ MILLION SOLD.
That's INSANE.
Proof that what is said here in these forums overall has immaterial affect on REAL WORLD sentiment.
OCD'ers TAKE NOTE!

According to the trustworthy google translate Rose Gold is 玫瑰金. And to me this does not look like what is on the bag.
(in reality I do not trust google for anything, but there does seem to be a discrepancy here)
the iPhone 6 was the first phone designed to fit inside a case. Jony Ive threw his hands up in the air and said "fuggit".
TwelveSouth BookBook case for iPhone does double duty as a wallet. It protects, organizes, and looks damn good doing it.
I constantly get compliments for the case.
Does the phone just pop out of there when you have to take/make a call?
Apparently not. Looks like I'll still be using a case on my 6s+.
I had hoped for some minor favorable external design changes on the 6s to distinguish it from the 6. If the rumors are true (and not just parts from the iPhone 6), it won't happen.
What an ingenious design concept. This must be posted in every thread relating to the protruding camera on the 6s until Apple implements it.Hmm, if Apple doesn't want to increase the thickness of the phone, they could always implement my rather ingenious design change:

Most people don't realize that the protruding lens serves another purpose and that is to help prevent "Washout" So many cases cause a reflection when using a flash in low light photos - the result is noisy photos. For best low light photos, phone should be removed from the case The protruding lens does help with thinner cases, but not thick. I really feel that apple should use a longer lens just for people using cases - we might then see better low light photos posted on social media.
iphone 6 lens protrusion actually prevented scratches on the back of my phone. so what the hell is everyone else talking about?
I don't know why but I just hate the iPhone 6 despite it being the most successful model .....oh well roll on next years model hopefully we can get rid of those horrible lines......just saying
If Apple would implement @AngerDanger's ingenious design, scratching on a flat surface would be a thing of the past.
We can only hope.

I was only thinking of posting it one or two more times; posting it on every thread seems excessive.
Normally I would say that twice is already slightly excessive, but the more times people at Apple see it, the better
