Did anyone else notice the phone's instability when operated on a table? That protruding camera lens may be an annoyance.
Got a tip for us?

Personally, I think they allowed the camera to protrude so you can attach a magnetic lens to it. As well as it not being able to be small enough to fit inside the housing but they won't say anything about that
No **** Sherlock
Agreed. I was a little Captain Obvious. But so many people think they know now what rumours are fake and what are not. My post was in reference to that. No one knows now, even if they think they do.

I think this is for reasons of physics. The device is just too thin for the lenses.

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)...
Think about it guys - why on earth would someone make such an detailed and complex fake iPhone 6 2-3 days before the keynote?
This is clearly no goophone and to fake such behavior in a 7min video.. you need plenty of time and skill. If we were still in July, I would call it fake but no way a few days before the keynote.
It's an iPhone 6, which didn't made it through Apple's QA process and because of this there is no packaging.

I'm not sure why It would be so hard for Apple to produce a 5.5" handset when lots of other companies seem to be able to easily produce them. Namely Samsung. If they at least announce it, I will wait. If not I'll probably go with the Note 4.
It would be great if they could chop 1/3 off of the top bezel. I could live without Touch ID as I've never used it (my nuclear launch codes will be safe).
Agreed. This is the real deal.
Really just seems like another iteration of the iPhone. Will have to wait for the keynote to see what hidden gems are to be revealed, (outside of NFC, air pressure/temp, camera)
i recall 64 bit in the 5S was a surprise for most.
The protruding camera doesn't seem to stick out very much at all.
