Still hate the bazels
I have to agree. Doesn't really have that modern wow factor, and quite frankly it looks more like a blown up 5C (ie budget model) than anything else.
Uh, it's not metallic blue. It has a blue silicon case on it from which the renders were designed.
So some website asked a graphic designer to mock up what an iPhone 6 might look like. I'm not sure how that qualifies as a rumor. Why discuss a mockup of something that most likely isn't legit?
...and increasingly convincing, at least when rendered in black.These "news" of renderings are starting to get old.
A 4.7 inch screen really shouldn't make the phone much bigger, if Apple is just smart (which they use to be

This image has asymmetrical bezels. I'd argue it's up for debate whether that's smart or not. IMO as long as we have the physical home button the top and bottom bezels are going to be the same size. I guess the anti-bezel crowd will have to get an LG device then.
Whoever's designing these mock-ups needs to space those app icons out evenly from edge to edge, it's bugging the crap out of me!
Renderings of anything is not a rumor. It is not a news. It's nothing but a drawing, a sketch.
Rumors about a phone is different from renderings of rumored phones.
"News" of renderings of supposed rumors about a rumored phone is not news.
Most defenitely, it seems.
Arn didn't publish this "article".
Also, what do you mean by that? Sure you mean something. Possibly.
Why move the power button? The top is the perfect location for it; your finger is naturally there when holding the phone.
I saw at least one person in the thread happy about the move; I'm just curious about your reasons. Enlighten me!

Who are you, Tyrion Lannister?!
Joffrey had it coming, btw.
Wow. Not everyone is current on GoT.
I'm all for a larger screen as it would be nice to watch a movie or YouTube video without squinting; I just hope the trade off isn't an even shorter battery life, which as mentioned before defeats the purpose of having a smartphone with all the apps and features.
I am not, however, a fan of the new look...it seems apple is following the aesthetic of android devices (the ios7 interface and now this). It just doesn't have a premium look to it like the 5S does, hopefully it's just the renderings. Ultimately I'm ambivalent, but I'll definitely get it...after a decade of buying apple it's pointless to leave over one phone.

They look great but the iPhone doesn't need to be any thinner at this point. I would think that the larger the iPhone gets the more likely it could bend.
I agree, I owned the iTouch 5G it was too thin and slippery to hold or prop up on anything without a case. There is nothing wrong with having a little heft to your phone. This marketing concept of thinner is better without improving battery life is going the wrong direction IMO.
3.5" was perfect for a "Phone first, Apps/Browsing/Texting second" world
Now... it's more like "Phone last, Apps/Browsing/Texting first", bigger screen is welcomed.
With faster and faster mobile internet I hardly use the phone to make calls anymore.

Bring on the 5.5"! If I can currently carry a S&W 642, Buck knife, keys, speed strip and iPhone 5 in my Levi's 501 jeans pockets without any issues, printing or otherwise, then adding a 5.5" iPhone 6 will be a piece of cake!
I don't mind them though, I find them quite entertaining
Case in point why I hate them: Business Insider is running a story with these renders saying this is what the next iPhone is going to look like. If they didn't show up on MR and 9to5Mac, they'd never find their way to BI and be erroneously tagged as what the next iPhone will look like.
Glass back? Where are you getting that from? The renders show the concept with and without a case on it.
absolutely not. He didn't say 'expected screen sizes will increase every year'. He was talking about how things in general change year by year. Laptop screen sizes went up, and are now coming back down... CHANGE. Not increase.
