Perhaps they got rid of the light/distance sensor, and the camera is left of the microphone? Just like the iphone 4/s.
They have a patent for such a sensor in-screen.

It certainly looks better than that big black dot on the other pictures.

But left that massive amount of dead space on the top bezel? Sorry, but Apple would look pretty incompetent as a phone designer if they were so stuck in the mud on symmetry that they did that.

What is wrong with it?
The upper and lowers bezels are the same size, and it looks the same as a black iphone 4s.
 
Looks like a copy of a Samsung

How does it look like a Samsung phone? Like specifically.

I owned an S2, S4 and S5 and no way in hell would I ever confuse them with an iPhone.

I've also owned a 4S, 5 and 5S and they all look like iconic iPhones and nothing like a Samsung.

If anything this mockup reminds of an iPod touch or iPad Air or Mini which are all apple products.

So yeah, how does it look like a Samsung? Details appreciated...
 
I'm quite disappointed that Apple would release such a revoltingly gigantic phone. I suppose I'll have to just use my 5s for many years.
 
It's not an impressive design. Looks like a copy of a Samsung. I'd still get one though. I sort of knew I wouldn't be blown away like I did with the 4/4S. Now that was a drastic change. Oh well… Let's see what the iPhone 7 has to offer.
ok genius the front of the iPhone has not changed since the iPhone 4???????:confused: how can apple copy samsung? since the style has existed before the galaxy 3,4,5??
 
So I'd be shocked now if this design wasn't the real deal. Unfortunately I'm not too keen on the thick antenna breaks nor the dimensions. At 138mm tall Apple would have to do something special to not give up one-handed use.

Someone posted a photo of a Samsung phone prior to my post and it was similar in design. Aside from this, I'm convinced this is the 6, and it doesn't look impressive, even though I plan to acquire one.

I was referring to the chassis.

Similar how? Specifically.

If you are talking about the S5, it's my main phone, and it looks nothing like this iPhone mockup. If you say otherwise, then explain what you think you see.
 
Its hard to believe that with the technology being available that Apple is still keeping the bezels on iphone6.
We've seen the bezels disappear from TVs , Computer monitors ets. so why not the iPhone6????
As for these pictures I wouldn't put to much credibility into them. I think Apple is going to surprise everyone with the iphone6.

Unfortunately I think aside from things like the 64-bit processor and other internal details, the iPhone just cannot be kept a secret anymore. Too many units being produced to contain all the leaks - at some point, someone's going to want to make a quick buck.

I'm pretty sure Apple won't surprise us in terms of the design. Internals? Maybe they'll be kept a bit more of a secret, since it's hard to tell from a photo how much RAM or how many cores etc there are.
 
If this is the final true design of the iPhone 6, with those HUGE top and bottom bezels, I will laugh so hard :p . And I bet Apple does keep this ugly outdated looking leaked design, they will say those bezels are a Apple hallmark and design signature of the iPhone. :rolleyes: With those GIGANTIC bezels it looks like a phone from the last decade, not from 2014.

Let's see it compared to other Android phones with that same screen size, 4.7", which would be the Moto X, Nexus 4, and Galaxy Nexus, I bet all three of those phones will look more compact, and have a smaller footprint in the hand over the iPhone 6, and those phones are a year or two old already, and the iPhone 6 is supposed to be cutting edge next gen technology, but will be a bigger phone.

IMO Apple should look at what LG did with their new G3, huge screen, and smallest bezels, the G3 5.5" phones feels the same size as 5" phones. Imagine a 4.7" screen with the G3 design, that could be a very compact and easy to hold phone, Apple should be going that route, but they won't.

That supposed iPhone 6, looks like a copy of my Glacial Silver HTC One M8, but designed worse and uglier, like a cheap wannabe M8.

Apple can't seriously think of having that ugly thing their brand new iPhone 6 can they ? The iPhone 5S next to it, looks richer and classier
 
Leaked iPhone 6 is 138x67 mm

Other 4.7" Android phones;

Galaxy Nexus = 135.5 x 67.9
Nexus 4 = 133.9 x 68.7
Moto X = 129.3 x 65.3


LOL at Apple :rolleyes: Their brand new 4.7" iPhone 6 will be larger than 4.7" Android phones that came out three years ago. Look at the size of the Moto X, that came out one year ago, very nice compact size for a 4.7" screen, and is much smaller than the iPhone 6 leaked dimensions, Apple is supposed to be the design genius and artists, they should make the iPhone 6 even smaller than the Moto X, not be 10% larger.

The deal breaker for me will be how much better of a battery will be in the iphone 6. Perhaps 2800-3000 mah?

Are you joking ? Not to be rude, but there is NO way the iPhone 6 will have that large of a battery. You do know the iPhone 5S battery is like half that size.

And with the iPhone 6 being super model wafer thin, they won't be able to fit a much larger battery.

Haha, the M8 front looks so freaking ugly with it's bottom black bar where nothing is.
The iPhone will still be the king of design.
And to all the people who keep posting dimensions, what about the height? The iPhone 6 will be much thinner than these Android devices...

Thinner ? Who frigging cares how thin a smartphone is :rolleyes: I like BBW's over super model sickly looking skeleton girls :p

But seriously, a super razor thin phone is the last feature I even think about, I care about a large battery #1, that can make a phone last 48 hrs. I do agree old thick phones like the iPhone 3G and EVO 4G being like 10mm thick from four years ago were too thick, but more modern phones in the 7.9mm range are thin enough for me.

But with the iPhone 6 rumored to having a 4.7" screen, and being the biggest 4.7" smartphone, is a joke, especially for Apple. Those outdated looking HUGE bezels need to go already. There is no reason the iPhone 6 should be larger than the old Galaxy Nexus from 2011.

Apple seem to love making their batteries equal the runtime of the previous model. So expect the usual 8hrs of WiFi web browsing and 6 hours of 4G browsing etc (ie lower than the claimed specs).

Lower? I never get lower except on betas.

Plugged my iPad up this morning, more than double its expected runtime.

Granted my iPhone doesn't do that well, usually only 10-13.

God, the more I see of this phone, the more I hope it's fake! I can't really see Apple making a phone with a 4.7" screen which is THAT much larger than the competition, especially after all their talk about single-handed use. :(

I agree. At first I liked it or at the very least didn't mind it but the more I see it the more it doesn't impress me. How can it, it's the same thing again.
