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.

The Galaxy 5s is just a lump of plastic. That is not a nice product.
 
Whats that ? Hotspot ?

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. :cool:

They can probably get some ready but not as many as they would like to have available at launch. Samsung and other companies don't move as many units as Apple does with their phones so it's easier to have enough supply to meet demand.
 
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 :)
Exactly. I guarantee you Apple will demonstrate a camera attachment.

A little birdy in China told me two things:

  1. Apple was unable to get the camera part they wanted in the size they wanted at the quantities they wanted.

  2. Apple selected the thinner design with a 1472x828 display, two-layer backlight, protruding camera, Gorilla Glass, and a 1810mAh battery over the slightly thicker design with a 1704x960 display, one-layer backlight, thinner bezel, flush camera, larger battery, and sapphire glass.
Technical and QA/QC issues were apparently behind the decision. For example, the last minute change from one-layer to two-layer backlighting required a change in display to a different panel with a lower resolution, and use of that panel also required a larger bezel.

We should see some variant of the latter next year as the iPhone 6S.
 
Food for thought: Imagine if over the next several years Apple is able to continue to miniaturize the iPhone's design to the point where it can be nearly as thin as a credit card, while the camera lens remains the same size...

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.

The new iPhone 6 featuring a 128 bit A8 processor. :D
 
I don't read MacRumors that often, but how likely is it that some or all of these are FAKES, but it's apple that seeds the fakes to throw people off the real trail?

And any chance the real iPhone 6 has NO bezel; just Sapphire glass?
 
Did anyone else notice the LED flashing between the volume controls? You can see it flash a couple of times at the :48 mark...

You confused production with innovation. How many watch models Samsung released now? Are you willing to bet the next one will suddenly not looks like Apple's (if they ever announce it)?

Search your feelings.. It's fake, guys. End of discussion. :D

If you watch the video, at :48 that is where I was talking about the LED flashing.
