If these prototype builders were actually designing iPhones we'd end up with a whole new bunch of Samsung lookalikes.

Not the way to go, these prototypes.

Can't wait to see Apple defeating these rumor-designs by presenting a *proper* iPhone.

Spin it all you want. I don't consider "thinner is better". I think 5s or even 4 was plenty thin enough. Per that logic, iPhone 14 or so should disappear because it becomes so thin you can't see it anymore. No one griped about 5s being "too thick".

Apple may be satisfied with current battery life but lots of customers are not. If there was an objective "which do you want more?" poll of thinner vs. more battery life, I suspect the results would be pretty dramatic.

Send a feedback to Apple, I did it asking for more battery life.
If hundred of thousand of people send feedback about battery maybe they'll listen to us.

which is what? to perform parlor tricks for your kids? cuz nobody is going to be making furniture or setting anything important with an artificial iphone bevel.

you also cant sit it sideways on edge now due to the rounded sides. big deal...complaining about that too? nope.

This is an image of my new doorhandles. I installed them last weekend by using the iPhone as a horizontal spirit level to make sure they were all aligned. It worked. It's not a parlour trick.

Professional craftsmen probably aren't using smartphones for building furniture but for the DIY guy it's perfectly fine.

The rounded edge isn't actually an issue because it makes no difference to the angle it sits horizontally. I can tell you've never used this app or used a spirit level or you would understand how they work.

You mean the same phone that has a "protruding" front panel? Why does no one mention this? I mean, we are all noticing every millimeter aren't we?

The entire front panel is lifted. It feels flush with the device itself. The protruding camera prevents the phone from sitting flat and will get caught on pockets etc.

What's this new bit in red? iPhone 5s vs iPhone 6 in picture.

Also - isn't the Apple logo in metal a bit of excess? Why have that weight there?
