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

looking at the bottom view if they plan to go any thinner for iphone 7 they are going to have to do away with the headphone port. hello lightning beats headphones.

I dont think either, I think he is referring to just the bad quality of the actual phone in the images, clearly its got defects along with missing components. Its most likely not the polished product and thats what he is probably referring to.

Idk, guess i'm not seeing it.. I've been intently following iPhone leaks since 2007.. I'd be willing to bet that this is legit.

What's most impressive, and maybe I didn't notice this until now, is that the entire front panel is one large piece of glass, or so it seems.

The Touch ID Home button seems to just pop out from under that panel. It's not like there's a separate bezel that is the "bottom" of the phone, under the screen, like in the 5s. This iPhone (with the screen off) now looks closer to Android phones that have all screen in the front.

EDIT; wait actually all other leaks don't have this front where it's one large glass panel.. so is this what the real iPhone 6 is like or is this a fake? Hmmmm.

I'm not sure I follow.. What leaked part have you seen that wasn't all glass? :confused:

reminds me of the original iphone. i remember buying one when it came out in 2007. it was great to get email, visual voicemail and the internet on the go. nothing has changed much since then, actually, besides faster network speed, making the devices smaller or larger, or maybe it's thinner and larger at the same time. gosh. i've since lost that phone. i think it fell out of my pocket. idk. but i am now rolling on an antiquated android phone. again, occasionally being able to connect to the net on the go. same function as it served in 2007.

have u tried the iCloud?

... on an original iPhone.
 
It looks like it has the same cracked back panel that leaked a couple weeks ago. If you look closely part of the bands on the back are cracked and missing.
 
Since the rounded edges stick out like this, won't the iPhone look weird from the front? Sort of like the iPhone 2G/3G.

No no no, the quality. Look at the bottom left corner of the phone in the top view, the bottom right of that first image, the angle in the toggle switch from the side view, the roughness of the band break in the bottom right of the last image. I think he was just saying that this has poor build quality, which is very likely seeing as it is not the final product. It looks like a pre-production prototype. Granted, I think it will look almost identical, but without these defects. And as other people mentioned, the lightning port seal is missing.

Looks like I'll be getting this. Was leaning on getting the white version but I can't imagine it looking better than that.

You and me both! I had a black 3GS, Black 4s, White 5, but now I think I'm going black again :D
 
Although I'm really liking the black and silver look like the original iPhone, I doubt it will be like this when finished. Look at the home button, the ring around it for the Touch ID is black instead of silver to match the back.
 
Reminds me to the original iPhone as well. Still thinking the 4/4S were the best designs tho.

If I go to the iPhone 6 round up page the from panels look similar to current gen iPhone hardware.

https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6/

Maybe things just blend on a black phone but this leak looks different. Like there's no break between the screen and the button. Even the metal ring looks more diminished (in a good way).
 
I would be happier with something that looked like the iPod Touch 6th generation. I think the edges on this one are too curvy. I'd say this is fake and unlikely to be like the final iPhone 6.
 
How do we know these aren't Chinese knockoffs? They all look incredibly beat up with the level of fit and finish not there. Even the screws look much bigger than the ones used on the current iPhone. Something just seems off about all these leaks.

would like to add original iphone was great at the time b/c of visual voicemal, internet that looks like the internet on a regular computer... etc... the getting email on a phone was so cool too.

copying text, selfies were possible with original iphone. lol. copying text being implemented in an ios update and selfies since the original iphone also had a camera--just rotate the phone 180 degrees.

i'm iphone/smarphone burnt out, i guess. lol.
 
I like it, really do. I know this is a dummy or test, but that lock switch being not straight bugs me lol. :eek:
 
Looks too much like an iPod touch to me. I'll wait for the keynote before getting excited about these.

No way in hell this is what the final product will look like..with all those huge gaps at the seams everywhere.. No way in hell !

Makes me think that either these are Chinese knockoffs based on rumored designs or someone is getting different components and slapping them together to try and show off a a complete product. This one is completely beat up. And one photo shows white antenna seams while another shows a chipped black seam. Does anyone think Apple is going to release a phone with a black face and white antenna breaks? Seriously?

Im not sure how I feel about such large radii around the edges.

I'm a bit of a photography buff, so I tried out the Nokia 1020 last summer for five days before returning it.

The thing that struck me was it's very round edges. Those edges made it very difficult to grip in the hand—especially when turning the phone landscape for photos. I dropped it a few times.

I'm excited to finally upgrade my 4S, but am worried about the iPhone 6's overall grip???

Great insight as to what the iPhone 6 may look like but a picture of the back would have been nice!

Are those bands still there, (they probably are), are they still as thick as we've seen in previous pictures.

Also would have been nice to see the Apple logo and the camera.
