I can't wait for the sixth-generation iPhone so people will be used to the screen by then and I won't have to listen to nay-sayers anymore.
And then we have mods posting stuff like this!
Come on, please. There's no need for every bloody thread about the iPhone to include childish conspiracy theories about misinformation. If even the moderators can't keep the standards a bit higher, what chance do we have?
I think after all the suicides, Foxconn might not be as harsh on employees caught leaving with parts perhaps.
If these leaks are proven to be true. This has to be one of the worst kept secrets. One of the things about the iPhone I think for most people is the anticipation of what it will look like and features.
The rate it's going I almost expect to see someone showing a video of a full working model before the Sept date LOL.
It's almost like asking for a PS3 for Christmas, finding it in your parents closet and playing with it 2 months before Christmas while they're gone to work and then trying to act surprised come Christmas morning.

I'm still waiting for the iPhone built entirely from gas particles. It's thinner than you can ever imagine.
Exactly. Stupid business is stupid business and it destroys companies. Plus, people are going to buy it anyway.
YOU ASSUMED THAT THOSE WHO GIVE THESE COMPLAINS WILL ALSO BE THE ONES IN THE PICTURE. THAT'S A FLAW.

But everyone who buys an Apple product is on macrumors!
What benefit is it too apple to put their own money into all these "fake" leaks? Just pointless. Use some logic people. The majority of future owners have no idea that these images have been leaked. They aren't tech geeks like us.

Okay, so you've been playing with the new iPhone for 2 months? The PS3 was unveiled 2 years before it launched. Companies do this because they want to build hype.

Those renders are pretty sweet, actually. I do wonder what the exact finish will look like on these devices when they are properly put together. I suspect the look and feel will be exceptionally high quality - Apple rarely releases a product, certainly not one as high profile as this, that doesn't feel expensive.
Why is it childish to propose that? It's a well-known fact that Apple has, for years, implemented decoy projects and manufactured hardware never intended for release to weed out leakers. This would be no different, though on a much larger scale.
It is my understanding that the protective shield sits behind the screen and in front of the battery and chips and what have you.

It's a friggen joke....
Yes... because I totally believe that everyone on MacRumors goes to the same Apple store and gets into the same line on launch day.
But not everyone on macrumors will buy every generation of every product (specifically iDevices) that Apple make.
Me too, but considering we're nearly just a month out of the apparent announcement, I'd be willing to bet this is (unfortunately) real. Again, I wanted wider ffs!!
Is it a well known fact? I'm not sure I can think of an example where Apple has leaked misleading product designs.
The childishness comes in the need to hype up utterly baseless conspiracy theories. We have seen so many leaks of this design from so many sources and have had reports backing up these leaks, the idea that this is some kind of big stunt for no purpose other than to give tech geeks something to talk about for a few weeks is absurd.
