Physical iPhone 6 Mockup Compared to Galaxy S5 in New Images

iPhone 6, the world's best-selling smart phone

Samsung Galaxy, the nastiest most inexplicably negative and pointlessly bitter people I have ever come across.

Apple, for people with class

Or

Apple, a brand above

Or

Samsung. Here come your loud fun but out of control drunk backbiting relatives
 
Headline: "Apple fails again with new iPhone 6 that still isn't as big as Samsung's flagship phones."

Intro: "Apple caught up to the rest of the world today when it unveiled the iPhone 6, a 4.7-inch phone that is the largest Apple has ever made yet still isn't as big -- which obviously means not as good -- as anything Samsung has made. We will eventually actually touch the device, but for now it's 0.4 inches smaller than the S5. It loses this round, because size = good = LOLs."

I should copyright that so I'm owed money by 3/4 of the tech press.
 
If that's the new design, it's going to be really boring compared to the iphone 5, wherein it does not have the chamfered edges to catch light and give it a multi-faceted look.
 
Damn, I might have to pick this up now if that's what the new iPhone looks like. The S5 looks so fat and horrible looking. I was actually considering picking one up as well.

Looks like it's time for me to come home to iOS :apple:
 
I wish Apple will go back to rounded, but shrink the bezel a lot. Rounded was a little better in the hands.

What will macrumors do to generate comment ad revenue once the larger iphone is released (mostly by the few folks who claim they won't buy larger phones)?

You act as if iPad rumors won't follow

Lmao@this.People do more than that with their phones.They play games,watch netflix,hbo go etc,watch live tv and a lot more,

They play games and watch video is what you were trying to say. You stretched that second part out as much as you could without adding Hulu and Amazon Instant.

I would never ruin a good show/movie with a screen smaller than a laptop.
 
I really hope Apple makes the 6 in three sizes (including one with the usual 4" size). It seems like such an obvious move, but then again Apple doesn't always do the obvious.

Anyway, I am personally excited for a larger iPhone, but so many people I talk to say they don't want a bigger phone.

Still too small. I am enjoying my note 3 though. I can see the text on it it's great!

You seem to forget, iPhones have always been able to increase font size. I forgot too until a coworker had hers so big I could read it across the room.

They should put the speakers there like the HTC.

iPhone speakers are crap and are pointing away from the user. All that bezel space is wasted.

When the phone is in your pocket or on a table, those speakers are likely to be pointing at you. Having owned HTC's phones, I'm no more impressed by the speakers than any other phone ever...I would use headphones if I was looking for good sound.

seriously something needs to be done. the home button is making things way too big.

I've been thinking that it could be cut in half and still work as a fingerprint reader.

I've been saying this for several months now. I even brought up the idea of a capacitive button, similar to the Lumia Windows home button but the Apple loyalists shot me down in flames.

Seeing it compared beside the Galaxy S5, I'm really hoping we get as much screen real estate as possible

Screw a capacitive button, it's horrid.

too much money went into R&D of that fingerprint sensor and unless they already come up with a way to have it built into the screen i dont see it going away anytime soon unfortunately.

so much wasted space! its almost bigger with a smaller screen ...

"its almost bigger with a smaller screen ..."?

Oh my god, if that's what you've concluded by looking at these images I suggest you visit an eye doctor.

Hilarious!

huh? 5.1 screen on the S5 and 4.7 screen on the iPhone mockup yet its barely smaller even though the S5 has a bigger screen to fit. what am i missing

Why are they saying leak? Thats not a leak its a mockup!
Click to expand...

Information and details get leaked too, not just physical partS! Although I do agree that it's getting a bit ridiculous, I think it is right to be called a leak, if the mockup is based on real leaked details of the iP6

I still believe, if you want a bigger screen size for the stuff you do. Bring a tablet.
I mean, do you really need a bigger screen size for Whatsapp. Or quickly look up the bus timetable. If you want to read (articles/ books/other), bring a tablet.
Click to expand...

Yes, I do. And soon enough you will most likely find out that you do to. I am using Samsung S5 now (until larger iPhone is out) and I find it just slightly bigger for my preference but to be quite honest is hard to go back to 4" after using it for almost 2 weeks. 4.7" should be great, hopefully with skinned bezels but home button/touch ID will still add up to the frame.

And no, I don't wanna carry in my pockets a 8" tablet, I wan't a 4.7" phone that is significantly smaller.

I still can't understand why everyone wants apple to get rid of the home button. This was the ONLY reason I switched from android to iPhone 5s . And it gives the device an amazing look with the color matching ring around the home button. I can't imagine how ugly an iPhone can be without this new home button . Also , the home button is really iconic for apple , because when the first iPhone was released steve jobs said " under the screen there is one button , we call it "home" , it takes you home from wherever you are , that's it " , so this was a part from the revolutionary UI . I hope that they will never ever remove it.

No, not really Apple can decrease bezels and make display bigger to keep both Touch ID and current iPhone size

I sold my Iphone 5S to get a 5.2inch 1080p screen LG G2 in a form size that is just about the size of a S4. Apple needs to start shrinking bezels. I can't imagine the size of the 5.5 inch Apple phone to be.

Go Check photos again, its actually got less height and its quite a bit not as wide, and on top of that around 20% thinner.
And on top of that - its got really nice to use home button with state of the art easy to use Touch ID (not comparable to ID of S5, real crap)
So whos a winner eh?
 
I think it looks a lot nicer here than in the 3d renderings.

Can't wait to see what it's truly like come Sept(ish)!
 
I like the idea of a bigger screen, but I really dislike that ever since the 5 they went with a 16:9 screen ratio. It may be great for videos, but in my case, that is only 15-20% of my usage. A wider screen (like the aspect ratio on the 4S only bigger) is better for data/reading consumption (and yes, game playing too).

However, I'm sure it will still be the 'candy bar' shape (only bigger). :-(

Such as life.
 
I think these mockup are wrong. Overall size is ok but proportions of display/homebutton seem the same of 5/5s, that's impossible if the display is 4,7". No one noticed this?
 
If apple goes for a 5.5" phone they've given up the last bit of self respect, after the gold iPhone and now 4,7" just to please some android users.
I'm sorry but I can't stops laughing at those guys with huuuuuuge android phones that are indistiguable from tablets..

I mean seriously apple. What did you learn when Steve jobs came back in 2001? Get rid of a ridiculous large range of products but focus on a few good ones. And what do we have now/soon?: iPad air, iPad mini, iPad 4, iPhone 5s, iPhone 4,7" iPhone 5,5"....

Are you seeing a pattern?!

This is ridiculous on so many levels. If you want to see what a true "ridiculous large range of products" is, look at the competitors. Apple is still focused on a very small portfolio of products.

Also Steve Jobs didn't come back to Apple in 2001. He came back in 1997. I thought a Steve Jobs fanboy wouldn't get that wrong.
