Taiwanese Star Jimmy Lin Gaining Attention for iPhone 6 Mockup Photos

[carjakester]

those antenna bands are extremely ugly. And whoever is holding that phone needs to cut their nails.

its not just me right? it looks like they simply stretched it taller AGAIN, and it didn't get wider???.... why would they do this....

Would apple really make a tv and make it 4 feet wide but only give viewers 1 foot of height...?

I like how many of you make fun of him for posing with a leaked iphone 6, ridiculing his local celebrity status and his appearance. I didn't see this happening when white people do reviews with the empty casings and (worse), the supposed cases of the iphone 6. Grow up.

And I love the look of it. They actually manage to thin down the bezels, not almost double it up like how Samsung did with the S5. So enough already with all the negative talkings. If Apple and their iphone's aesthetics bother u that much, just don't buy it. Why try to rain on everyone's parade? It's a free market, vote with your money.

I'm not surprised, most american think america is the only country that can have "stars", if it's not from america and we don't know it, then it's not real, right?

Also, this guy is not just some local celebrity wanna be. If some of you actually make effort to simply type his name in wiki and maybe do some actual reading, I hope that's not too much to ask. Here you go I'll even provide the link for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Lin.

They'd make it 16:9, just like the iPhone screen and a million other phone manufacturers.

If I had a dollar for every time someone wrote this before Apple releases a phone....... And then another dollar when that same person goes out and buys it I'd be a wealthy wealthy man

This is my first time calling an iPhone ugly. Of course I'm going to buy it. It's not an ugly phone, it's just APPLE'S ugliest.

When it gets revealed in it's full glory I'm sure it'll be much better.

Or it's just a 16:9 4.7" screen and they reduced the side bezels so it doesn't appear as wide as it is relative to previous iPhones.

I like it! it is an improvement over iPhone 5.

I phone 5 is in my opinion the worse design yet (but all in all not so bad)

 

[mrxak]

If it's real, then it's stolen property.

Either it's a mock-up or he's going to jail.

 

[vpro]

Big deal.

Everyone in Asia is a race car driver and owns a mock-up of some gen of the eye fones haha!

I love you all.

If everything works as it is supposed to AND one puts the iPhone6 into a case (Which is what I will do) this is a non issue.

I can see the bare back riders complaining about antenna lines, but over time people get used to anything!

 

[agsystems]

Definitely their ugliest phone yet. Those thick a$s lines.

No crap...that's a long ass phone...that home button got to go...maybe that tech that puts the sensor behind the screen will help.

 

[jonnyb]

They are. Just like the glass inlays on the 5. Personally, when I use a phone I often look at the sides and back. Especially when FaceTiming.

But when a company designs a product in a way that some consider atypical five iterations in a row, it becomes typical surely? So this design is Apple-like.

 

[Keerock]

Wont be dual

what makes you think they can't fit both LED into a round hole?

Good point. I did find dual color LED's when doing a search. Just none at that size and certainly complexity (adjustable brightness). I guess we'll just wait and see if this hideous iPhone 6 is a fake.

 

[sundog925]

Is anyone else really annoyed they seem to keep going vertical? Ugly as hell. Just go wider, wtf apple

 

[downpour]

For those of you who hate those bands.

 

[1Zach1]

For those of you who hate those bands.

Blue tape, krylon and all the problems are solved.

 

[jonnyb]

It is wider. It's a 16:9 ratio screen at 4.7 inches. Other people are annoyed, yes, but they're labouring under the same misapprehension as you.

 

[ihuman:D]

Ugh, such an attention hog...

 

[Max_Walker]

Back to the future

apart from the dimensions the iPhone6 looks a lot like the original iPhone from 2007. Metal back, curved edge profiles.

I don't know why Apple doesn't flood the Far East with a whole series of wacky designs for iPhones - just to confuse the rumour sites, the knock off cover merchants and the likes of Samdung.

 

[mojolicious]

Mmmmmm, spangly.

 

[icerabbit]

I'd be OK with that bottom seam line, if it meant you could take out two screws, take that bit off like a cover and do a battery swap without a full phone tear down.

Otherwise, I can't see the point.

 

[ninethirty]

I've got to agree with whoever said that the iPhone 5 wasn't a great design either. Nice and slim, yes, but the paneling on the back wasn't and isn't a great look. I've also gotten used to it, but compared to these antenna lines, the iPhone 5/5S is MUCH nicer. This is embarrassing for Apple if real.

 

[zipa]

If it's real, then it's stolen property.

Either it's a mock-up or he's going to jail.

Why? What has he done?

 

[mscice]

I hope that is not the iPhone6 ... those bezels no innovation at all...

 

[baryon]

My favorite iPhone look is still the 5C. Yes the plastic one. It looks and feels amazing and the back is one single piece with no seams all over the place.
