New iPhone 6 Images Depict Rear Shell and Front Panel Together for the First Time

What 5.5" ? Still no evidence of such an animal except in the dreams and hopes of a few members here. ;)

No major part leaks, but there's references in Xcode for a larger screen res, and a battery leaked? I know it might not exist, but why are so many of you so against it?
 
Idiots. This is a photo of the Sturmovik IL-6 Ground Attack Phone. It is not meant to be pretty. It is meant to destroy Samsung.

What does everyone think of this design? I can't be the only one who thinks this phone is ugly as heck.

I'm with you. I'm not loving it from what we've seen so far. I'm waiting until the keynote to decide if I like it or not. It'll be interesting to see if the colour combinations stay the same or are different this time around.
 
I like it! It doesn't try to be more than what it is. It just is. I agree with that Apple seems to be going back to basics. No intentional "industrial look" as introduced with the iPhone 4, no "slab of metal" as with the iPhone 5, just the essence of the iPhone's identity. It reminds me of an iPod touch, it reminds me of an iPhone 3GS and even the original iPhone, but I think that's because it captures the essence of what's always been there.

Wow - if that's made up of legitimate Apple parts, it looks EXACTLY like the Goophone.

I look at the Goophone photos on the above site (scroll down) and even the holes at the bottom are a match. So either they really nailed their counterfeit well, or what's shown in this story is not real.

Is this real? It doesn't say what OS it is running but it has an icon for the iTunes Store app.

I am confused. But if this is a knock-off than all the supposed iPhone leaks are seriously bull....

I see something in that top view that certainly looks like a protruding camera lens/ring. Curiously though, if you look all the way to the right, it appears the right side is floating just as high as the left, which would imply there is some other protrusion to prop up the whole top of the phone.

There was that rumor of an Apple logo sticking out. Maybe it pops out at about the same height as the lens ring to deal with the wobble-on-a-flat-surface worry that had some concerned?

Yeah, I notice that, too. Hmm. We'll have to wait and see.
 
Power button

I have been using a Samsung "thing" during the summer because I dropped my iPhone into a lake and it has the power button on the side and I hate it, I touch it all the time when I use the phone and the screen turns off. So why Apple do you have to do this too!?:(
 
rather nice

i'm very pleased with the direction the look of this phone is taking. in my eyes there never was an iphone prettier than the original with its classic airstream trailer like feel. this phone takes similar cues, my only concern are those wide breaks at the rear, but i guess it goes with the more utility look.

Ironically the alpha is closer to the iPhone 4/5/5s design:rolleyes:

"scratched" does not equal "cracked". You're trying to inject "cracked" as if I said that. I did not.

Cracked screens are very common and Sapphire is not going to change that. Scratched screens seems unusual, even rare (to me anyway). I haven't personally surveyed every iPhone user but subjectively, I don't see or hear (or read here) many griping about scratching their iPhone screens. I do see, hear and read plenty griping about cracked screens.

I don't know if what I saw was a scratch or a tiny crack, but it's definitely not hard to do. Drop a phone on a tiny rock, like say what is typically found on the street. That's enough to damper your day.

but that big stripe on the back... why? just why? I can handle a protruding camera, but horizontal stripes look silly IMO. There is too little material on the bottom/top. I prefer the way it was done on the current gen iPhones - a bit of glass.

I hear you.
I feel the same about the back stripes. They're the only thing I don't like of this new design. It's a pity. (yes, I know: radio transparency cutouts have to be there on a metal back plate, but I think Jony and his team could have come with a more aesthetically pleasant solution, IMO).

Other than that, I think it's a great and beautiful design. I'e always been fond of the round, organic shape of the iPhone 3G/3GS, rather than the squareness of the 4 to 5s line, so this design takes me back to that.
If they would made it in 'unapologetic', seamless plastic back shell, 4.7" and Touch ID, I'd go for it in the blink of an eye :)
 
It doesn't look bad, and it certainly looks like a rollback to the rounded edges of the original iPhone. I personally prefer the clear-cut lines of the iPhone 4 and 5 though.

Looks like it was put together by a 5 yr old. horrible workmanship. No way that would fly if jobs was around. This whole protruding lens thing has me very suspicious.

Jobs was the one decided 2G was a great idea for the original iPhone when the world had already moved on to 3G. 2G for a data hungry phone was a terrible idea!

Jobs was a brilliant man but he's not the messiah you think he is.
