Search your feelings.. It's fake, guys. End of discussion. :D
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but why does the home button position appear to be different from that of Feld and Volk? Other parts leaks also indicate the home button being closer to the bottom (almost touching the bottom edge) as an attempt to make the top and bottom bezels smaller.
 
So many people in denial. After seeing these videos with the right animations, speed and operation, it has to be real.

As for the lack of a retail box and packaging: the iPhone could be stolen out of a factory or from a carrier testing the device.

Some people argue that it doesn't have the stock water wallpaper from iOS8. The new wallpaper is added in to make it fancier, just like they did with the iPad Air.

Also there are a lot of people nitpicking about the bezels. Personally I think Apple is intentionally keeping the top and bottom bezels to keep the iconic 'iPhone look'. Just like you can almost always recognize the brand of a car by looking at the overall design of the car, you can also easily recognize iPhones in the public by the top and bottom bezels.
 
I'm still confused about the wallpaper. Doesn't the default wallpaper usually reflect the keynote banners at WWDC? I understand they could have changed it but..
 
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)...

I think Mr. Ive knows that a protruding camera lens is hideous but I guess the tech to make a module that thin and better than the 5s' camera doesn't exist yet. I do recall Tim Cooke saying that photography is an area of intense interest so this is how I came to my assumption.

Or it could be an early protoype or an unfinished iphone 6... Hence the reason why he is not showing the info on the back of the phone.. To me this look more like an early demo.... Deftly not the ready to ship to customers product...

Nice catch.

I sincerely hope all these leaks are fakes for a number of reasons.

1. The protruding camera is a no-no. If I'm paying for a premium phone, I want a premium design and NOT a £20 case to make it sit properly on a flat surface.

2. It looks very plastic-like. Again, The iPhone 5s looks beautifully finished. This looks like a Fisher Price kids phone.

3. Is the headphone jack even smaller? Is that even possible?

4. Did I mention the protruding camera? Just, NO.

It would be pretty wonderful if all these leaks came from Apple themselves just to totally mind-**** everyone with a "gotcha" moment.
 
Saved me an hour of watching the event from a 7 minute video. Thanks!

I'm willing to bet the farm that this is the real thing. Another row of icons, great :rolleyes: For the first time since 3GS I have no real desire to upgrade. iOS has really gone stale with the rows and rows of icons. I switched from a 5s to an LG G2. The lag associated to Android is old news. The G2 does exactly what I want, and I don't even mod my phones. I cannot give up the custom notification light with Light Flow (LED blinks different speed and/or color from different email accounts).

But I have one line with an upgrade so I just gotta do it :p

Can someone post that picture of an iPhone that looks like a light saber with like 20 rows of icons? It reminds me of that picture with every iPhone screen size increase :D

Never mind I found it, that would be the iPhone 20 :D

WOW! the state of those buttons lol. Not a good finish for an 'Apple' product. could be a early demo model I suppose.
 
It would be funny if Apple made this leak on purpose and was really working on a killer iPhone! Sadly I don't think that's the case but let's hope! As for the camera sticking out a little people ask for thinner and better phone and better cameras they don't have tech that is that good yet so there has to be a sacrifice somewhere. I think if this was the new iPhone I will just wait till iPhone 7 :p that way it's two gens ahead :)
 
Because Apple is a first class company with high expectations while Samsung is just a low class copycat that nobody cares.

Now thats a dum b statement. Samsung absolutly make nice products. And copy? Every company does that. ALSO APPLE - They just always sell old ideas as new inventions - I use Apple but samsung is more innovative than Apple.
 
If anything, I'm still looking forward to Tuesday to learn A) what the space grey model looks like [why have all leaked cases to date have been the white variant?] and B) when my order will arrive.

This phone doesn't look AT ALL like the Russian leak, so one or the other is fake. This one looks faker than the Russian leak to me. So, I'm going with my gut that the Volks leak is the true one. The finish on that phone is much better than this.
