I am really surprised so many people seem to be worrying about this.

To each his own, but I don't even think it looks bad. That strange protruding camera is more noticable to me.

Oh well.
 
Every year before release "That iPhone design is horrible!"

Every year after release *iPhone breaks sales records* "This is the sleekest iPhone yet!"

Ger ready to be part of the "before release" statistic.

Last year before release "iOS 7's icons look horrible!"

This year "iOS 7's icons look horrible!"

I'm pretty sure that's the same kind of horrible that we're seeing here with the antenna bands.
 
I feel like they're just guide lines. the top and bottom will be glass like the 5/5s. Either way these leaks don't look like a finished product to me.

They will not since there are no cutouts.
Look at the iPhone 5/5s rear shell:

I'm not a huge fan of them but I can see them growing on me. Especially after seeing the completed, polished version. We'll see. I'll miss the glass panels though.

Whatever :rolleyes:

iOS 7's icons are fine. I still don't understand all the fuss about them.

And until I see a finalized product from Apple, I'll hold off bashing any features. I don't even think the bands look that bad and these are mashed together pieces or prototypes.

Point of my post was to say that people ALWAYS jump the gun looking for anything to complain about. And every year millions of those complainers change their tune the second the phone is announced.
 
come on a lot of people have commented on this, you can just brush it of because not this many people complained about iphone 4 or 5 looks.

I prefered the glass design on iphone 4, but I didnt complain when 5 came out, I thought it was still very nice.

But these thick bands just make this product look incomplete, they are just so thick and draw so much attention.
 
I mean look at this version.

Is anyone seriously saying this image here is not a better looking iphone 6?

The product IS incomplete. Wait until they actually announce it before deciding you can't bear the sight of it.

the product is complete, it is being mass produced as we speak ready to be shipped soon.

You cant go from incomplete product to launch in like 2.3 weeks.

See this is the problem with you people. If somebody claims that [insert something Apple created] looks bad before release, you bash him because the finished product isn't out yet. If someone claims that it looks bad well after release, you roll your eyes and say that it looks just fine.

Do you really think it's impossible for Apple to make unattractive designs?! Or at least designs that create heavily polarized user opinions?

I say it.

And you clearly don't understand his point... We haven't seen a complete iPhone 6, that's what he is pointing out to you. Of course it's being mass produced -.-
On the 09/09 you will know why this will be the best looking and designed iPhone ;)
 
I don't think that it looks quite as nice as the 5, but it's not so bad that I just wouldn't buy the phone, to be honest!

It's funny that the OP thinks that the 4S was the best design because now it looks quite clunky imo, and the back very prone to breakage which is probably why they moved away from that design.

I'm likely to put my phone in a case anyway but I actually don't really mind the look in the pictures. I am interested to see the videos and such that will come out in a couple of weeks but I don't think that it's horrendous looking.

Yeah but sooo many people are complaining about these lines/bands.

I still cant get over how bad it looks. No apple product has bands like these, it looks horrible and inconsistent. Look at the mac pro, macbook air etc, all these products are smooth, continuous. No distracting lines.

The world will go on just fine (as will Apple and those who use their products).

A lot of people complained about the look of the 4 when it came out, and the 5 when it came out, and the gold on the 5s when it came out. I presume Apple will worry about it when it comes down to the sales numbers.
