Why do only iPhone sized devices look ugly with rounded edges? What about iPads? Makes no sense.
This thing looks awesome, although a bit too thin. Back glass needs to make a comeback.
i just dont know what to think anymore, this is diff but still the same basic model (TO ME), im sure in hand its better. maybe new colors because the 5c colors are awful in my opinion. im going to buy it anyway lol....im ready for the new specs for the most part...
My point is that analysts buy based on rumors and unconfirmed "leaks" and sell on reality. That
It doesn't have to be proprietary. Phones (especially cordless) had standardized on 2.5mm jacks from the 1990s until the iPhone came out - and with it the return of 3.5mm.
I think everybody will use bluetooth headphones. And I guess everything will be cable-free, wireless charging (no, not that ''fake'' wireless charging used on Android phones), wireless headphones, etc. Just like iMac
Totally agree. I want stuff lighter, but not necessarily thinner, especially anything that I have to hold like a phone and might drop.
The round edges are stupid. There are way to many functions of the iPhone that utilize the right angle edges and flat back of the iPhone. The round edges also make the unit much more bendable (I don't care what it's made of).
As shown in the illustration; that thing would fold when you sat on it in your back pocket.
(That is, of course, if it will still fit in your back pocket)
1. Why would anyone put their phone in their back pocket and sit on it?
2. The average back pocket size is probably a about twice the width as even the bigger smartphones. Believe it or not the iPhone 5S dimensions aren't the maximum allowed to fit into pockets.
I hope they keep the physical silent/ringer switch forever. There's absolutely no subtitute for being able to reach into your pocket and silence your phone immediately without looking at it.
When we have computers 100 million times more powerful than today's and are the size of a human blood cell.
Weren't iPods updated just before the latest iPhone? But, yeah the flash does seem to be off, however at this point the images we are seeing are less than detailed. Perhaps the technology for the flash has taken a step forward to becoming cheaper/more compact.
This is a solution to reflections... It's why the ring has been there all along...
when it comes to a handheld device, no.
it makes it too hard to hold.
my iPhone 5 feels better in the leather case than naked.
maybe my hands are too big..
If Apple bought JayBird and included bluetooth headphones with the 6 that would be most excellent.
Keeping in mind that these are just renderings, such a design would explain all those furnaces in Mesa, about to produce large quantities of sapphire. A glass back (and front) that won't scratch, and is thus less likely to break, in addition to unimpeded signals from the antennae? I can see why Apple might want to go forward again with a classic 4/4S-like double sided glass enclosure.
These Martin Hajek designs are an interesting take on what could be possible; such almost credit card-like designs might please those who prefer a softly rounded 5C-like feel in the hand, rather than the sharp angular feel of the 5S.
It remains to be seen what will finally hit the market. Quite possibly the first product developed entirely on Cook's watch.

I personally think that they would switch to a curved design. The iPhone 2G-3GS were all curved and they went to sharp edges, so why not go back to curved edges?

I would buy an iPhone designed like this in a heartbeat.
