the Nexus 5 is buttery smooth and completely stable.

I've had the complete opposite experience with my Nexus 5. Apps crash all the time, lag all over the place, frames dropped, awful battery life. My iPhone 4S ran smoother than my Nexus 5 does. I am looking forward to switching.
 
I really want that wallpaper on this iphone 6 any chance if getting it early ?
 
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?

It is OS build 8A365 final release that you will see in a couple of days that will power the new phones.

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?

In China stock market colors are flipped -- red for bullish.

He didn't use any of the buttons, maybe they don't even work? I doubt it but maybe it's a 5s somehow crammed into a 6 shell?

Unless 5s has 7 rows of apps and a new icon for Passbook app.
 
The version of this ios is older than the beta 1 seeded june 2

Not like the "gorgeous" iPhone 6... Ahem.

Apple are rapidly falling behind in the design stakes.

Not only is that design poor aesthetically, it fails functionally as well. But if it's what you want I'm glad the option exists. Apple makes two iPhones (maybe soon to be three) so they must appeal to a wide audience.
 
I hope Apple AMAZES us and proves all these leaks to be hoaxes because that phone blows. These lazy, incremental upgrades suck. Where's the wow factor?
 
Basically what you have here most likely is iPhone 5S guts put into the Goophone i6. This probably explains why the home button looks like plastic and the overall poor finish quality. As far as the software having an extra row of icons they probably got in and messed with it...

Now that had to be A LOT OF WORK! Months of work...

So either that is what they did and it's fake or this really is an iPhone 6.

I'm still leaning towards fake because the design is so un-Apple like. I'm not even sure if this phone would be considered attractive in the Android world. Phones like the LG G3 (even though it's plastic) and the HTC One have more attractive and cohesive designs and that just doesn't seem right.
 
I sincerely hope you're right about the protruding lens being for some sort of accessory. But really, I think Johnny Ive's obsession with making everything as thin as humanly possible has finally gone too far. The phone will be annoyingly unstable when used on a table (unless you use a case). Do you really think anyone would have cared if they had made the phone a bit thicker to allow the camera to be flush? I would much rather have had the better battery life a thicker chassis would have allowed.

Of course, I am totally fine with the thickness of the current 5/5S chasis (and really the 4/4S before it)...
If it were thicker it would also be heavier, especially if you filled that extra space with battery. I'm not really fine with that. I'm pretty sure your obsession with battery life would have ruined the iPhone, if it had been your call.

Thankfully, you can treat the symptoms of your obsession with an external battery case, and Jony Ive's dedication to keeping the iPhone comfortable to hold will work out for the rest of us.
 
yes you are genius hero1

great marketer you are professional.

if you want real options for wide spectrum of audiences, look up Japanese cell phones and watch tons of videos on all the different amazing kinds of fones they already have there. we are extremely far far far behind, yet we are so happy to buy anything this feeling company with a shiny, red, fruity logo puts out year after year with no real innovations:)

but i'll still buy 5 or 8 phones a year from them.

I LOVE You all!

Yet if the iPhone 6 was shown as that design (with a home button) the majority of people here would rave about it and say only Apple could design something so perfect. You can say they wouldn't but they really would.

Appealing to a wide audience is as much down to marketing as anything, Beats headphones are crap but the most popular on sale, sold to Apple for billions.
 
Really not digging those bands, I get they are for antennas, but come on.

It's possible that the "bands" aren't for antennae. I think the top and bottom inlays on the back of the "6" might be colored / textured glass. (Think MacBook trackpad and Magic Trackpad.)

If you look closely, you'll see that both back inlays are completely flat. So the "bands" help to complete the curved surface from the metal back to the flat inlays. And maybe that's why the horizontal stripes across the back are also that wide. So they'll match the area of the curved strips along the top and bottom edges. (The problem with this theory is that the front glass appears to have curved edges, so why couldn't Apple curve the edges of any possible back glass inlays?)

Then again, maybe the back is all-metal and the inlays are metal antennae. That would mean that the bands really could be insulators to help prevent signal crosstalk and/or grounding with the backshell etc. Too bad the insulator material couldn't be colored to match the metal better. :-(
