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

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.

No, it's just a choice.
You could place the touch ID on the back, for unlocking, and have a narrow home button where the current one if if you wanted to.

There is no reason, it's just a choice.

I'm sorry, but improving your industrial design isn't something so far-fetched that nobody does it - this enlarged 5S is plain lazy.

Who's doing it though? Nokia phones have looked pretty much the same now for the last 3+ years, same with Samsung Galaxy line. This years HTC One looks a lot like last years. Looking at all the phones below, they're basically riffs on the same design with just the screen getting bigger.

People complain too much. Those line breaks are needed for the antennas. If they could work through solid metal, Ive would've done so on the 1st iPhone. I'm for one super excited for the iPhone 6/Air

How the heck do you know there's no reason behind this. You weren't sitting in meetings at Apple when these decisions were being made. :rolleyes: HTC did release a phone with a finger print scanner on the back and it was universally panned.
 
I hope the actual iPhone 6 will not be that ugly.
If it does, it's probably there's no Steve anymore that says thousand "No"s.
 
Those antenna seams are so ugly that there has to be something these mockups have misunderstood on the schematics or the build technique... Because they truly make it looks like some build error tried to be fixed with glue or something by an amateur. And apple aren't amateurs in the field of industrial design... Even Samsung would not have made such ugly seams.
 
TruTone?

Seriously is no one going to mention the lack of the TruTone Flash? These MOCKUPS clearly have a single LED element rather than the stacked elements of the current phone. Duh? :confused:

Of course there is no reason technically it's just a design choice that's all.

If Apple tested out to find a good rear location, made it look nice (slight recess) and sold/marketed it well it would be loved.

So because Apple's hardware engineers have implemented it one way, no one else can have an opinion? Why do you constantly only think that it is Apple's way or no way? Why did you bring Samsung into this debate? It's not about them.

If Apple hasn't done it, it's can't be done. Everybody knows that.

After Tim Cook saying they were doubling down on security I think there is something fishy about this. I'm surprised Apple don't have their own security in the supply chain factories.

I think these phones are an Apple long con.

We can only hope. If it's really been this easy to get access to the dimensions and specs, Tim should review the meaning of "doubling down"
 
Ugly iphone 6

It's looks really ugly idk why are they going to high on the price for the 5.5 inches iphone I think y'all should como out with something way better then that because the iphone 6 it's fk ugly!! :mad:

If this is true, colour me unimpressed - it's just a current iPhone enlarged, the bezels aren't thinner, there's really nothing new here - just a bigger phone.

I would rather have the current iphone enlarged with upgraded internals over this ugly backing.
 
Until I see an ACTUAL PART!!!! I won't judge these crap mock ups.

I want to see batteries, PCB's, displays, buttons, etc.... all in a case with apple logo/ fcc stuff on the back.

Dual flash seems gone based upon these photos and mockups. What gives?
I don't have a 5S, but how much of a difference does the dual flash make?
If it was an improvement, surely they'd keep it.

The black mockup with the back lines/breaks looks bearable. This gold one (and the other white ones) however, don't. Unsure about the appearance - especially as someone who has never used a case on an iPhone ever.

It isn't impossible to think they figured out how to have two LED diodes while still keeping it circle-shaped.
