New Photo of Alleged iPhone 6 Manufacturing Mold Hints at 4.7-Inch Display

Might wanna listen to this interview of Jonathan Ive, and learn a little about CNC milling and fixings - it's an education for sure:

( it's five mins long, if your attention spans can last that long

With admittedly limited knowledge of state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, I was about to ask just that: aren't the last several flagship iPhones CNC'd from a solid piece of aluminum? Where does a mold come into play?
If anyone knows this with certainty, please enlighten us.
Huh?
Worst mouse ever
Except for maybe this one...
Fugly wood grain and leather UI
iPad versions of apps now just blown up phone version with no account for designing UI to utilize space.
App store search results browsing 1 item at a time instead of a list.
iOS 7 fluorescent icons on white background
Do I even need to explain why this one is awful? Ugh
Should I keep going or do we see now that not everything they produce is thoughtful to detail and pure gold?

Right.
If this is a "mould", then tell me folks; why are there SO many holes, and why is the inside rough cut?
Tell me that.

Maybe just stop flooding the forum with JPEGs to add weight to an irrelevant "point" you're scrambling to make? That'd help a whole lot
I'm not understanding why people don't realize that is a mold for an iPhone 5 or 5S. I'm not usually this obnoxious, but I think the situation warrants it: THE PHONE ON THE LEFT IS AN IPHONE 4 or 4S, people. The indent in the mold is the same size as an iPhone 5 or 5S. Nothing to see here.
The iPhone 4S?

Wait for the actual release. There was another leak which made it look like a small iPad mini. That's a design change.
I wouldn't say the 4s was a disappointment. The 4 was beautiful, and the 4S wasn't all that much worse.
Coming to an online forum, expecting logical thought patterns and rational replies? Pah! Away with you!
Are they really going to release a new iPhone?
LOL
I love the sarcastic rhetorical comments; the gems that are so rare nowadays on MR.
I'm not actually even sure if this is sarcasm or not.

Alright alright...I get it.
As an iPad user, I do hate iOS 7 just as much as you do. Thank god my iTouch 2 is stuck on iOS 4 for life.
Magic Mouse isn't bad, imo, though.
Gamecentre sucks more in iOS 7 than before.
The camera...was that developed under Sj? Out of curiosity.
Nope - could easily cut out bezels on the sides and at the top (still some extra on the bottom too) to fit 4.7" in a device that isn't too much bigger than the current iteration.
I don't Apple sticks with the same bezels and face. I think this is fake.
I'll pop back into the thread in a month, see if you've all managed to progress the conversation a little...
Maybe if they chopped down the hilariously tell top and bottom bezels they could fit a much larger screen in a device the same height as the 5S. If they made it ever so slightly wider they could make it a standard 16:9 1280x720 resolution. Maybe change the way iOS 8 scales app UIs. Have then scale like Android, this way app file sizes could even get smaller because that way you only need one sized ui parts, instead of bundling retina, non retina, 5 and earlier aspect ratio parts.
I hardly think Apple designers are using Android as a reference for design ideas - something just tells me that's not how it goes... just a feeling.
I really hope it isn't a mold, this would indicate that they might make it plastic, after all the **** people give Samsung, it wouldn't look good
Showing highly specialised CNC production process equipment to the general public and expecting insightful, intelligent responses? Priceless.
For everything else, there's "Mastercard".

Please tell me you didn't just say that, and that you're aware of the 5C and how it's manufactured?
Possibly you did just say that, and don't know... so, for that, I say this:
