I, for one, am not mad about this design at all. It's just a bit different than from what I expected.
I know for a fact that the iPhone 6 will look a lot better when Apple releases it, as
this is a mock-up, and in no way, shape or form resembles the final copy, as far as how it looks and what materials are used to make it.
I have the iPhone 4, so I don't really care how this looks, either way it will be a huge upgrade.
If It doesn't have a TrueTone flash, that's okay, I've never used it so I probably won't miss it. The rounded edges don't bother me, however, when I had my iPod touch 5G, I always felt like it was sliding off my hand when I didn't have a case on it. (I guess we shall see how the rounded edges preform, if it is indeed a part of the final design)
Bezels, everyone is talking about them.
I do however think that the bezels could be shrunk down a bit from the iPhone 5S (I am not saying the mock-ups bezels are big, don't hate me) if Apple wants to have a kind of edge-to-edge glass (which would look very nice)
As for the home button, I think that Apple can still keep it, and still shrink the top and bottom bezels a bit. Like this:

Which would help the phone from being so tall.
As for the sleep/wake button, I don't like it on the side, I rather take an extra second to shift my hand in order to touch it, I feel like it's too "Android-powered device" like and that gives more room for people to whine about "(this company) copied (this company)"
I don't mind the antenna bands, as long as I can hear the person on the line very clearly.
However, I wish that the rumors pointed to a more minimalist antenna design, such as the iPhone 4/4S tiny antenna splits along the sides of the phone, or something that looks cosmetic like the glass panels on the iPhone 5/5S.
I see the 4.7 inch phone as still being able to use it with one hand, but the 5.5 inch seems....like a very unnecessary version, baby steps Apple, baby steps.
It doesn't really matter, I'm still going to buy it however it looks. The only thing that matters is how the phone preforms, not how it looks (that's personal preference)
I know this isn't the final copy so don't flip your lid for something that could be much different than we are expecting, didn't everyone hate the iPhone 4 design when it was released? Didn't everyone hate the iPhone 5 design? Just saying.
Expect me to be in line at the launch date. See all of you crazies there!
