You guys who still think this is real are either a). very hard-headed, b). not paying very close attention, or both. Well this does depict almost exactly what the phone will look like on Tuesday, the real one will not have 6 rows of icons and will be made from high quality metal, not cheap plastic like this fake.
Maybe that one has never been activated with a SIM card? VM should only work after proper carrier setup from the system.. just my guess. Or let's step back, how hard would it be to add such an icon if it were fake?
I sure hope so. But i was also thinking what if apple is trying to push people towards lightning cable headphones?https://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/03/lighting-cable-headphone-mfi/
Good that you have an opinion where we differ. I think after looking at those pics and videos I am 95% sure it will be 6+1 rows of apps.
Let's take a step back, shall we? If this is real, why hasn't Apple remotely deactivated it like they did when the infamous iPhone 4 was "found in a bar" and a 5s leaked last year? Why does it have a 2.5 mm headphone jack when all of the earlier, proved leaks have had a 3.5 mm jack? It's not a genuine iPhone; Just a really good fake.
The more you look at it, the uglier it gets. Looks like a cheap knockoff when next to the gorgeous 5s.
If you look at the iPhone 5 and 5s headphone jacks, there is a thick chrome/shiny collar around the jack input. This supposed iPhone 6 does not have any such collar, probably because the phone is such a thin profile.
Otherwise, the jack openings appear to be the same size (looking past the collar), at 3.5mm. Sent from my iPad.
LOL did you even bother to check that Chinese guy's page? I guess not... this is not a GooPhone.

For the same reason screen protectors feel to me like plastic covers for furniture.
Or done a take down request... almost always when there is a real leak Apple legal does take down requests.
For me, having the phone actually look and feel pristine during use is more important than knowing it's pristine underneath the equivalent of a condom.
Fake
Why do you publish clearly fake rumors? No way are these devices real iPhones 6, they are big, bulky and ugly. No way would Apple reverse the zeal for thinness for a phone that is twice as thick as a Galaxy.

This might've been home assembled from real parts or a sophisticated knockoff with the guts of the real iPhone inside, but you can guarantee it's the final design. The responsiveness and fluidity of the UI suggest a genuine Apple screen and internals. We've already seen photos of leaked A8 processors and complete motherboards.
The thing looks truly gut-wrenchingly awful! And I'm not talking about the finishing but the design. They've removed everything that made the iPhone 4/5 design classic and iconic; its strong lines and flat sides with right-angle edges, and morphed it into an uninspiring curvy abomination with no discernible edges at all.
That 5s looks beautiful by comparison.
And that protruding camera! What were they thinking?
There's no way I'd want this, even though I feel like a bigger screen. I'd get a refurb 5s if I had to but more than likely hold onto my 5 for as long as possible. I'm shocked that Apple has done this.

For those questioning the headphone jack seeming smaller on the supposed leaked new iPhone, here is a pic comparing the iPad Air and iPhone 5.
The 5 has a shiny collar around the jack, making it seem wider for pics in comparison to the profile of the iPad, which I assume is the case with the new iPhone without collar (ie, similar profile to the iPad). Sent from my iPad.

Fair enough but why do all the other leaks show significantly thinner bezels then? These are huge in comparasion. Something's not right with this.
That crudely beveled back is just awful. If they needed something that thick they would gracefully taper it like the back of an iMac.

I don't think that app was silly at all. It was ingenious.
It is .67mm, want to see what its like, take a very common .50mm mechanical pencil lead and lay it on a table. Put your iPhone 5 down on the lead at about the area of the camera lens. Viola....you can see the very small impact this new lens has, in particular if the trade off is for substantially improved optics with image stabilization.
Same thing with those bands, Apple did that for a reason, maybe it was NFC or something more, as with everything you might need to accept a little bad to get all the goodies.
My 2 cents
It's not a Goophone, the Goophone doesn't behave or look like iOS, just a copy of it.
My main beef with Porsche is that I don't think the materials, fit and finish of their interiors live up to their price and status. At least not on most of their models.
Aesthetics are very subjective, but the 911's lines do have a certain classic appeal. And if you doubt their ability to produce a truly modern vehicle and design, check out the 918 Sypder.
