Haha. This phone is so ugly. Huge bezels, low res screen. Was so ready for iPhone 6. Gonna buy a Note 3 instead for almost nothing now that the 4 is out. And the Note 4 has bigger bezels than Note 3 and back speaker. Seems like Note 3 was the last reasonable high end phone.

That's one of my options as well. I don't think that the Note 4 has enough going for it that would really merit the (supposedly) significant price difference. Not for me, at least. Proper waterproofing would've been nice, but as it is now, meh.

Actually, I think that this is happening across the board. There are less and less incentive to upgrade each passing year. At least the big players seem to be very much in "incremental" mode, rather than "innovative".
 
Very good fake. How come the passbook app is never shown? guy doesn't test out all apps or features on phone. color gradient is wrong on music app. minute hand too long on clock app. shows no sim but in settings shows the carrier name? guy conveniently covers up model and serial number in settings app with his thumb. finish quality of aluminum on phone is not up to apple's standards. screen is too reflective. touch id button looks plastic. Model number is never shown on back of phone-it's covered up with a post it in one photo.
 
2 (Galaxy 4) this month, 2 more in Jan 2015 (iphone 5)... contracts ends.. Total 4 iPhone 6. whew... no more Android. Graphically it is nice but OS is another thing to be desired. Everything in IOS >>> smooth as butter and logically placed. I had custom roms installed (Carbon Roms, Xylon, CodefireX and several others) it is nothing like even the Beta IOS. I liked it but... time to move back to iPhone 6.:). Galaxy's even the 5 (office colleague) crashes so often ... not funny at all. I hate it when having scrum meetings it just stops even on original ROMs. My colleague got a S5 2 months ago. He really regretted it now since I think the Ip6 is coming. He is a macbook person.. oh well

I've tried Samsung devices as we'll - all of them were slow as molasses crash-prone and cheaply made. However, this clearly isn't a general Android issue. the Nexus 5 is buttery smooth and completely stable.
 
The clocks lockscreen font!

Can someone PLEASE tell me that I'm NOT THE ONLY ONE who noticed that the Clock's FONT in the LOCKSCREEN is a BIT BOLD... It makes me doubt about this iPhone being legit...
 
Apple, please keep working on bringing manufacturing back to North America. I'll work for you for free! These no-class Chinese keep ruining the fun! :p
 
I'll call fake for the following reasons

1. The differences in the icons (as stated). I just find it hard to believe that these design choices would be made this late, and they're not even the most logical choices either.

2. A report roughly two/three months ago suggested that the 'antenna areas' on the back of the device - enclosed by the white band - would actually be a different colour because the said area would be filled in with a different material.

3. People have been known to make mock-ups from Android-powered devices in the past. The man in the video shows quite limited functionality, only opening certain apps and not going through Control or Notification Centre.

4. The editing in the video... If you had a leak of this quality then you would not show your face, and certainly not in an awkward studio with silly jump cuts.

But we'll see on Tuesday :eek:
 
How does he get it to run iOS? That can't be a skin. How can you put their software on a non apple device? If this is a knock off, how can he open the app store?
 
Everything in IOS >>> smooth as butter and logically placed.

It might be because my devices are getting a bit old (iPad 2 and iPhone 5), but they sure stutter and lag quite noticeably. Also, I can't see the logic in having to look at my credit card data that I've stored in iCloud from Safari settings, not iCloud settings.

Nor do I think that it is very logical that in Safari my back button is at the bottom whereas in the Mail-app it is at the top. And then in some apps still you have none at all and only get back with a swipe.
 
Same here. Being with contract will cost $15*24=$360 more for one line in two years compared with off contract; if it's data shared 10GB or above it will cost $25*24=$600 more!

300b-6GB plans:

att next, off contract, bring your own phone - $25

2 year contract - $40

10GB-50GB:

att next, off contract, bring your own phone - $15

2 year contract - $40


I see what you're saying though. It's definitely more money in the long run, not to mentioned not having the option to leave without fees or paying for the att next phone.
 
Minute 0:48, you can see a led notification between volume buttons..

What do you think?

Apple, please keep working on bringing manufacturing back to North America.

Ain't happening for a myriad of reasons, all of which obviously boil down to money.

And since iPhone manufacturing has never been in North America, you can't bring it "back" there... :)
 
What do we think this is then?

An iPhone 5s in a fake body?

Can't be Android running a skin can it? It's way too fast for that isn't it ?

So what's actually powering it?

They probably could produce them here, but the profit margins would be way lower, which is why they make them there. There is also the same chance of a leak no matter where you build it.
 
Another one

In this shot the Dow Jones is the correct close for Friday, but why is the gain coloured in red? Can you change the colours in the Stocks App, mine shows green for gains, red for losses?
 
It's fake guys! Why would a guy that only speaks Chinese have some of apps in English and some in Chinese? Plus you can't change the names of the built in apps. Someone should have already noticed this!!!

Some apps don't have a Chinese translation so they are English
 
:48 mark.

There is no notification light. It is just a reflection of the light because there is a shiny area between the two volume buttons.

Second, this is likely a fake. Protruding camera? Big plastic breaks in the body? Poorly finished aluminum?

This does not look like something Jony Ive would design. He only makes beautiful designs although his obsession with tiny screens pushed me to Android a long time ago.
