Renders of 4.7-Inch iPhone 6 Allegedly Sourced from Foxconn Surface

I think it's possible we'll see it at WWDC but not very likely. But if apple does do this I think it would really only be on sale for developers for a while. The only reason apple would have a reason to unveil it early is so developers can optimize their apps. But that would take horrible summer iPhone sales to nothing. So it's really going to be interesting to see how this all works out.

I think that this year the rumors about a larger iPhone coming in September will get big and mainstream enough that it will kill the current iPhone sales anyway. Tim Cook even admitted that last summer sales of the 5 were affected by rumors of the 5S.

Apple could announce the resolution of the iPhone 6 at WWDC, let the iOS simulator support it but offer no other detail (no picture). This kind of news probably wouldn't rise much above the rumor noise.

The only logo in any apple product besides apple's own, was "Bose", on the Bose speakers for the TAM.

Not true.

The Harman-Kardon name appears on the iSub 2000 Subwoofer and Soundsticks, which were designed and sold by Apple.

The Nike logo appears (alongside the Apple logo) on the Nike + iPod shoe sensor.

The Product Red logo appears on iPods.

And there's the Bose mark on the TAM, as you noted.

So now we have at least four examples of something that "Apple would never do."

Yeah that would work pretty well. I hope apple does that.

Samsung will have time to copy it and release a copycat phone before the 6 is released.

Maybe this is a dummy phone to fool the copycats. B

You can't be serious. Samsung had a phone like this 4 years ago.

Sales would tank, people would be waiting and buzzing about future larger iPhone.
 
There are two aesthetics Ives could go with. A Jobsian unique design: original imac, ipod 1, iphone 4, iphone 5, ios 6, calligraphy. Or a Jony design, modern with an emphasis on simplicity and consistency: IOS 7, ipads, ipods, that charity table and leica camera. I worry that Jony plays it too safe. If no one is willing to take a risk with design, you end up with a status quo among manufacturers; products that all look like each other. I think playing it safe is the greater risk to Ive's legacy.
 
Those antennas look like crap! The iPhone should look more like this (although even more like the HTC One/M8). At least it is way cleaner of a design, like an iPod touch with antenna lines on the back.

EDIT: Looking back at the images on the OP, maybe it will look fine if the colors nearly match the aluminum, I guess...

Sigh. Wish they continued the square edges like the current iphones. It just looks more cleaner IMO

For example, MacBooks and iMac's are the only computers that don't come with intel inside stickers.

I'm assuming you often get told "it's just a joke". -----> This is one of those times...
 
Is it just me or does the side view photo's look rather long?
I think the iPhone is long enough. I hope it doesn't end up being any more longer than the iPhone 5s without some width to the device.
 
damn why so thin body...Common put bigger battery because the biggest problem with iPhones is battery comparing with android high-ends.

I have a 16gb iPhone5 and I've never filled it.

Photos can go to iCloud and be removed from the phone and I just use streaming radio services instead of iTunes.

32gb is an unnecessary extra cost for me.

They're not going to raise the price of the base model so there is no unnecessary extra cost for you. And speaking of iCloud, I will be disappointed if Apple doesn't at least double free storage. But we all know they should really match the free iCloud storage space to the size of your iOS device.
 
We have rumors the iPhone will be a phone but people still stupidly cling to their phablet wants. I don't understand this. An iPhone 6 will be amazing. Phablets are not.
 
The shape of the top and bottom antenna things look horrible. If it's like this they better make it the same color as the aluminum color to make it not stand out. Or just make it a straight line like the HTC one instead of having it go all the way around.
 
so someone feels the mock ups are not true .... Is that the reason for this ?

Why do we have to guess. Apple could change it anytime they want, creditable, or not...

Patience and wait for the iPhone to come out.

To think that we all like to see that someone reckons they know of a design than some other guy and all this before we actually kow anything from the company that brings it out ?

People don't get enough sleep.

This is funny!

In all seriousness, I hope they can keep Beats from influencing the designs of Apple's hardwares... Beats has a bunch of extremely famous promoters/marketers but it never had any insanely great products.

I miss you, Jobs...
 
I've moved from my 5S to a 5.2 inch phone in a minimum bezel form. I have no interest in going backwards to a 4.7 inch screen. If Apple does a 5.5 in a minimum bezel I would be interested.
 
Nah

Ive had a iphone since iphone3,i hate saying this but they have lost there edge,i bought a experia Z2,beats iphone 5s hands down,a 4.7 screen is not enough,ios has become boring,the icloud is a joke, i cant save videos,and storage capacity is a joke, i feel im always looking for a 3rd party app to do the extras,hope they prove me wrong and the 6 is a beast, but if this is it what a let down
