I agree with you. Interestingly, a majority of folks have already made up their minds based upon these mock ups. I remember all of the mock ups for the iPhone 5, which did not look like the final product.
Got a tip for us?

its the things on the inside that make the phone better. you cannot see them from these mockups.
yes, it appears that the screen has increased and has become thinner but the speed, camera, battery are all under the screen.
Carphone Warehouse (in the UK) sell them.
You can stick a SIM in them, or connect them via Bluetooth to a smartphone:

Yeah, I kind of dig on the larger seams/antenna breaks - its an interesting departure from most existing phone designs. Watch this design treatment get picked up by other manufacturers in the next 6-12 months
Without a doubt - clearly we were getting TouchID implemented in the home button again, which meant there was a minimum lower bezel size, and since Apple likes upper/lower symmetry, that meant the upper size was more or less pre-determined too.
However, if ratio of upper/lower to the whole device is smaller (i.e., less bezel-to-device), I think the overall effect will be outstanding.
Im definitely in for a 6, and Ill just have to hear some details about the 4.7 vs. 5.5 (if theyre actually even producing two models).
I'm not arguing whether putting Touch ID in the home button was right or not. Though I haven't seen any explanation of another way it could have been successfully done. The Galaxy S5 also has a physical home button. My point is Touch ID being designed into the home button should've been a clue that the home button wasn't going anyway anytime soon.

Pretty much like every other phone on the market. I'm sorry but a thiner bezel doesn't make something new.
Bezels on the side of the 5.5" looks good but they need to work a little bit on the bezel on the back and the top of the phone.
The bezel on the 4.7" looks the same or slightly smaller than that on the 5s. Not sure what you're freaking out about.
They could easily remove the physical button and place a touch sensitive button or pad and implement it into the bezel if they wanted to. Invisible "pad" for gestures and/or just a touch sensitive button. There are many options.
I sort of agree, but that's also the first thing on the iPhone to get dinged up. So for those who prefer no case, getting rid of it isn't all bad.
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.
I think all these images and leaks of the iphone6 are just the dummy phones case makers got ..
Of course if your apple you would not send case makers the real dummy look alike phone just, as long as the size is correct its fine...
I think that the bezels will be half the size of what we see now ... or even bezel free to the sides ... just few more weeks till we possibly start seeing more real images ...
In my opinion every color dont look really good with the back antennas other than the Black model

Hmm...I think I might trust Apple/AuthenTec engineers over people here who claim things can be easily done. If it's so easy to do, how come Samsung's fingerprint scanner was also implemented into a physical home button?

I'm sorry, but improving your industrial design isn't something so far-fetched that nobody does it - this enlarged 5S is plain lazy.
I'd love to know how many people complaining about the home button are actually hardware engineers or have real knowledge of all the ways to implement Touch ID. We're really supposed to believe there are all these better ways of implementing it but Apple is choosing not to do so because their engineers are either lazy or don't know how to innovate? Let's not forget Samsung's finger print sensor is also implemented via physical home button.
It's plastic, to allow the Bluetooth and wireless antennas to receive signals (which is normally blocked by the metal case). My guess is that Apple will probably colour them to make them blend in with the casing better and not stick out so much.
Guys... the mockups ALWAYS look terrible. The actual design is only 50%. EXECUTION is what makes the product shine.
