Taiwanese Star Jimmy Lin Gaining Attention for iPhone 6 Mockup Photos

[SestoElemento]

The band doesnt look that bad... At least on the black/slate color ip6.

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.

That's right. To some, it doesn't matter. Like you and me. People that look at the back of it will know I have a iPhone 6.

Yeah. It does look ridiculous. My mate has one of the biggest screens out there, it's hideous!

16:9 too wide? No, go wider with 21:9 so we can watch movies full screen!

I quite like the idea of this Intel concept from 2007 (about the same time as the original iPhone was released).

I just noticed something... This could prove that these are fake. So in the first picture here the iPhone 6 has an apple logo as you would expect. The second one here does not. You would thing this is the same phone though right? And if not my would the second one not get an apple logo?

Is the 6 still keeping that strange, elongated aspect ratio that the 5's have? which appears to be like the phone screen is just stretched lengthwise...

Cant they just go to a traditional 16:9

It *is* 16:9.

Wait... Was that a phone?

Much, much better. I really would have preferred an iPod Touch-style cutout to those bands..

Me too!

Clinging on to the hope that the antenna band material/color will be more in harmony with the rest of the back...

Yeah, I suppose a black 6 with black bands is the only hope left for a non-ugly new iPhone.

Yeah but it would never be that color. It would be space gray.

Good point! Eagle eyes

 

[TC03]

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...?

It's the exact same aspect ratio.

Nice catch. It doesn't make any sense as to why it isn't on the second picture, even if this is fake/mockup though.

Yeah thats what I was thinking.

Hopefully the PPI matches other top tier phones. Please no one quote me saying you can't tell a difference.

I just wished they used a standard resolution like 1080x1920. That rumored spec makes no sense. If the LG G3 can have some crazy high resolution why not have something that is common? Current apps are going to look like crap anyway when you blow them up so why not start fresh?

Did you even read the article?

Lin's unit appears very similar to one we've seen in photos sent by a supplier to screen protector and stylus firm Halo-Direct, although this unit lacks the Apple logo seen on Lin's.

 

[jay-t]

It is also lacking the dual LED flash! So it seems at least.

 

[Iconoclysm]

lol idiots keep making it taller, its so damn ugly. wider you morons, wider!

So what you're saying is you want form before function? Isn't that an argument used against Apple (wrongly)?

Well obviously this isn't a working units, it's either a mockup or parts but I guarantee this is the exact design we will be seeing in September. The leaks are too consistent...

 

[The Doctor11]

Did you even read the article?

Usually yes... this time no...

It seems to be a requirement here to comment first, read later - if ever.

The screen will have gotten wider...less bezel.

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.

Not to mention that most people moaning about it will have a case on their phone anyway.

 

[Thunderhawks]

they could at least make them the same color so that they blend more.

According to the website testing these things:

The iPhone doesn't blend.

 

[TantalizedMind]

I'm not loving it. The 5 looks much classier.

Yep. 5S is super sexy! I hate those antenna bands on the 6.

 

[Appl3FTW]

its the progression of things... like I've said, everyone hated the 5 too when it was about to be released.. then everyone love it now. now the 6 is coming out, same thing all over again.

Remember how the breaks in the antenna band on the iPhone 4 were unApple-like?

Let me rephrase, as in to phrase again but differently.

These breaks/bands are wider looking than the breaks on my 5, and draw more attention. Apple developed their micron fitting and whatnot process to match the plates on 5/5s phones to the shell. So given the precision there, the tightness of the look and fit, I seriously doubt that bands this wide would be included as they grab your eye.

But whatever. If you want to draw a correlation to the iPhone 4, then please go ahead and see what isn't there. It's not the same though.
