Photos of 4.7-Inch and 5.5-Inch iPhone 6 Models

It's still a phone, camera etc. and will do the job, so why obsess about what is shown here until you see the real thing?

Since I do not plan to use my phone from the back, the lines are not important either.

Thinner is good, so protective cases can be made thinner.

Ready to upgrade:)

Those whining about the breaks, what makes you like the glass portions on the 5 and 5s? They're far bigger than the breaks and imo look more out of place than the breaks.

The glass portion on the 5s isn't necessarily a break. I would say it's more of a change in material. The mock ups shown here aren't at all close to Apple's current aesthetic.

I'm one of the people that hates the back. I've always been a naked iphone user because of how well designed iPhones have been. If it looks like this, I'll definitely get a case.

If the strokes didn't go along the edges of the phone and was just a single line, it might look better. But continuing along the edges is really just horrible design
 
What's ugly are most of the comments.

The general public doesn't care about bezels, gaps, grooves, home buttons, etc. They want a phone with features. All you art-school dropouts don't know ugly from beautiful. It's a super-thin phone that will blow people away with what it does. In the end, it will be the best phone ever from Apple.

So suck it.

Some people like to talk about good design while having absolutely no design sense or background. This thread is full of amateur designers who are getting all worked up over a mockup of a phone that hasn't been announced...
 
I think whats's obvious to me is that it's really time for Jonny Ive to move on, or be moved on...

Honestly the dual tone on the iPhone 5 /5s is disgusting.

If the iPhone 6 has those terrible antenna lines (that thick...) and it doesn't come with dual tone flash - I don't know that a big screen will make it worthwhile for me.
 
Gimme a break. All these people complaining about how the back looks. First of all, it doesn't look bad. And secondly, MOST people keep their iPhones in cases to protect them...so you don't even SEE the back anyway.
 
yes yes.... we know what a iPhone look likes by now, why do we have to hear about and the emphases "look the rounded edges...." remark...

Its nothing new.. Apple's been using rounded edge for ages...

I gotta hand it to Apple in general, they really love to make a big deal out of something we just take for granted now-a-days..

Gold phones always look good.

If it wasn't for Apple stupid policy about , "We can only replace phone with the same "color" " i would have easily got the 5s in gold...


Same model, i can understand, but same color ? Heavens for bid, there shouldn't be a speck of dust on it either..

I would gladly give you all the breaks on that mockup... :D
 
For **** sake. These are just mockups. These could look completely different from the actual phone!
 
Is apple no longer capable of innovating? There phones just look the same year after year. Especially the front face. How about a bevel-less design. Getting pretty darned boring apple. :yawn:
 
The 4.7 incher has such a crummy camera... Apple is going to make us choose between better camera on 5.5 in or average camera on 4.7.... :mad:
 
You know, if I were a competing company, I would make an iphone 6 mockup that looks like a cheap iPod touch with ugly colors, giant bezels, and large stripes on the back. Maybe place the buttons in unfamiliar positions. Then I'd post photos of it on fanboy sites and let them go wild. Yeah.
 
This is a recurring design, it is likely to be approximately the real one as we have seen it many times from multiple sources. The most we will probably see is some color change and moving things around a bit. The phone has to be produced before release in 3 months.

You realize that these things aren't just piecies of art and they still need to function right? Enjoy not having any lines on the phone, maybe you will enjoy not having service just as much.
 
If those mock ups close to the final design I'll wait for Apple to describe the "unique" antenna system. Now on to other things... since the phone is thinner I hope the body of the phone is strong. My behind has accidently my iP5S, but it hasn't bent yet.

The camera has been improved with every iPhone release, do you think that all of a sudden they will stop improving it or effectively go backwards?


I bet you have whined about every chassis design that has come out since iPhone #1. Maybe it is just me but a lot of people on this forum seem to have trouble with self esteem and try to enhance it with materials from the physical world. It is a terrible treadmill to be on folks! ��������

I would hope they wouldn't go backwards with the dual flash, but who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Ummm.... no. It just looks ugly is all. Design aesthetics are what Apple are about.

Self esteem, lol, no. We're talking about technology, way to Dr. Phil a simple design conversation.
 
Didn't people complain about the iPhone 4 design too when all the leaks occurred? The design turned out to be iconic.

I'd say not to stress out about this.

Yeah because a finger print scanner on the back of the phone is a great idea. HTC tried that with a version of the One and it was panned by most reviewers. To me different doesn't equal better. When the 5S came out I didn't come across any reviews that complained about the Touch ID implementation. Now all of a sudden Apple is lacking innovation because they haven't ditched the home button.

If my memory serves me correctly the finger print scanner on the One Max was panned because of its location right under the camera lens. It requires a swiping motion, which more than often smudges the lens and in addition the scanner is not the best. Apples scanner is way better.

You don't have to be an hardware engineer to imagine different locations for the scanner to be implemented. But given for how long Apple has refused to offer larger phones, I am a bit disappointed about the mockups I have been seeing so far. Sticking to the pretty much same design on the front like the previous generation of iPhones, you inevitably will have a big device with huge bezels. So Apples first attempt (if the mockups are correct) in offering larger phones seems next to some of the flagship competition models a bit underwhelming. I am not talking about the esthetics of plastic vs aluminum, etc, but the general size of the phone vs. their screen size.

In addition a lot of iPhone users seems to like a smaller device, so I'm surprised that Apple doesn't pull some design tricks out of their hats to convince its own fan base, that a larger screen phone could still be compact. Now we seem to be seeing rather the opposite. An enlarged device which will probably almost as big or even bigger than the competition - with a smaller screen.

Since you mentioned reviewers: I am sure, the huge bezels and the size/screen ratio will be one of their biggest cons of the upcoming iPhone (again, if these mockups are correct).

the antenna lines do not bother me...

however, the front does. it looks exactly like previous generations. tone down the bezel and top and bottom, maybe add LED indicator light?

if this is the final design, maybe i will stick with samsung and go with the s5
