Taiwanese Star Jimmy Lin Gaining Attention for iPhone 6 Mockup Photos

Why do they keep showing the updated iPhone with a longer base. How stupid is that. The only way to make the phone useful for images, video and office work is to make it wider. Thats what Samsung discovered long ago. Will it now take Apple decades to figure this out?:mad:

I consider the width to be the short side, so this sentence is confusing me a little.

Do you mean Apple should make it taller?

Stop moaning about the back.

Yes, it's not pretty but it's on the BACK. It's not like you're looking at it all day. I look at the front, not sure about you guys.

So now the excuses are pouring in. Great!

But to be fair, I think that case is an acquired taste.

I'm sure they will keep an old model around... But eventually you're gonna have to come around or use really old technology. That's the direction the mobile phone industry is moving in and I don't see models getting smaller. So you can choose to fight it for now but eventually you'll end up with a larger phone.

Maybe. Hopefully not. And I think there are a lot of people like me who don't want this so maybe somebody will build it if not Apple.

I really don't get it. What do people do with their phones that makes bigger better? Wbe browsing works fine as is, so does email (not considering the awful mail app) and you can make phone calls. Various apps and navigation work as well. So what's the benefit of something that requires two-handed operation and sticks out of a shirt pocket? That size is so 1990s...

Would you rather hear moaning about how the front of the iPhone hasn't changed since 2007 from a design perspective? Sure, the screen size has increased and gone to a 16:9 ratio, there has been a front facing camera added, but purely design wise, it hasn't changed in 7 years (same circular home button, pill shaped speaker, symmetrical top and bottom bezels with vast empty space)?
 
I may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today, but I kinda wanna smack the smirk off that kid's face.
 
Some things are just not right in these pictures... Like this. That is just way to big and does not look like something apple would release.

I suppose other people are looking at it when you are on the phone. Not that it matters to me or you, but it matters to some (I guess...).

On the other hand, I saw someone talking on those tablet-sized phones the other day. Huge hands with the device covering 90% of his face. It was about as silly-looking to me as when iPads were just starting to be used as general purpose cameras.

You don't like the front of the 5s?

Weird. Yes, the bezels are a tad annoying but with the 6, they won't be as thick.

I've always liked the front anyway.

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!

they could at least make them the same color so that they blend more.
 
I just don't think these are real. But im really scared because that camera does not fit inside the phone. It would suck to have the camera stick out like that. You would never be able to just put it down. It wouldnt be flat

Yeah I dont know why they wouldnt do that. But I'm really hoping that is not what the real thing looks like.

Are those antenna bands growing on anyone yet?? :confused:

No. Its making me sh** my self more and more every day worrying about seeing those on an iPhone...

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 :D I'd be a wealthy wealthy man

Are people suppose to boycott the iPhone because it's ugly? It's still prettier than most of the competition. Plus, it's still the only phone with access to Apple's ecosystem.

Not a big fan of the wasted space the need for a physical home button and symmetrical design causes.

So nice that renders don't have to work in reality. I guess there is a reason that precisely zero (0) bezel free phones exist; might have something to do with structural integrity.
