I won't believe unless I see that sapphire glass test with a 5.5" screen. If the 4.7" leaked out why not the 5.5"?

Assuming the 4.7 in screens that we have seen in those tests are actually the ones being use with the phone.

I still don't get it. What's so appealing about how internal components look? We'll never see them, and I purchase devices for what they do, not for what their internal components look like. It's like we don't have full body scans done and we view them before we get married.

I'm with you. As someone who is hopeful of the 5.5inch phone, all this does is give me hope.

Take your sweet time Apple.

If it is 5.5" and 2 months late, I will wait.

There are countless usages of a bigger screen iPhone which are greatly missed today due to smaller screen.

I read quite a lot and reading on bigger iPhone 5.5" will be well worth the wait.

The treatment prior to anodization makes the metal a dull grayish color. Those trays are anodized blue.
But like every other part we've seen, weather or not they for the actual iPhone is the real question.

They look too uneven and dark color to me to be anodized blue, but I make no claims as to they are real or not.

A blue iPhone? So ... Sapphire, right?

YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS

Apple! You sly dog!

The iPhone 6 is going to look a lot like the current gen. iPod Touch. The Touch does come in a variety of colors, so who knows... We know it can be done

Why? Controlled leak makes people excited plus controlled supply during launch period makes the illusion of popularity... Apple has done well on these two and they succeeded

It is easy to create an 'illusion of popularity' when the product is outrageously popular like the iPhone.

Digging has started!

Digging being done with a teaspoon or a soup spoon?

It is interesting because Steve Jobs'/Jony Ive's design ethic is to have the parts of the product you don't see to still be carefully crafted and designed.

Look into the building of the first Mac: there are stories of Jobs complaining that the circuit boards 'weren't straight enough' etc.
