2 features will make me buy a new iphone on launch day:
Battery life improvement.
Better signal strength.
If those plastic bands result in better signal performance, then I don't care if they are not quite as nice as without. Form follows function. Same goes for bigger screen size. If you give me more usable battery life fine. Bigger screen same half-day battery? No thanks.

I drew the correlation because at the time of the leak of the iPhone 4 in 2010, there were incredulous cries of "No way is that the next iPhone, look at the breaks in the edges; they're so un-Apple". Steve Jobs even referenced those cries when he finally unveiled it, 'un-Apple' design and all.
So it wasn't directed at you I was merely illustrating the notion that what people cite as un-Apple, had in the past turned out to be very Apple indeed. So it may be with these leaks, too.
space gray was a compromise to slate black paint that chipped off at the beveled chamfered edge.
since the new iPhone doesn't have chamfered edges, they can go back to black.

not just attention. he's offering a service which is a public study of the new design language that Apple may be using. i'm glad he did it.
i came across this if anyone is interested ..
seems the bezels are gonna be huge!

He claims it's real just as he has in the past with other fake mockups like the mini iPad that had giant bezels on the side. If he was honest about it then you might have a point about not doing it for attention but he's doing it to make it look like he has access to something no one else does.
As I recall the reason why people thought they were unApple-like was not the lines themselves but the fact they were asymmetrical, something they fixed on the 5/5s. The 6 looks far worse because they are thicker and wrap around the top and bottom and not very well judging from the close-up photos. Still hoping these are inaccurate but I have another year before my contract is up so maybe they will have found a better solution or made a 6c by then.
Ah, thank you for this post. Who really cares what it looks like (up to a point)? It's not a fashion piece, it's a pocket computer. I'm going with performance and feel over looks. If it feels good in my hand and its specs and performance is good that far outweighs whether it has some "pinstripe antenna bands".
I did almost laugh when I saw at the top of the image, "Thumbnail". I was wondering if it was the name of the photo...
I haven't had an iPhone since I moved on from the 3G due to screen size and device size. I care less about the "style" of the phone, and more about how it compares in physical dimensions to other phones on the market.
My recollection, confirmed by the comments in this thread, is that it was the joins themselves that were considered in-Apple; not their lack of symmetry.

No problem! Exactly, it's not a fashion piece. The 4.7-inch will be perfect for me, the 5.5-inch (if it comes out) not so much. I'm pretty confident it will be one of the, if not, the fastest phone on the market when it's released.
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 itI'd be a wealthy wealthy man
Except the last 5 phones have all looked the same, with a new design its a legitimate concern.
yeah and everybody was like "ugly phone! i'm not buying that!" and then when it came out everybody was like "sweet mama jesus its beautiful and awesome! i want it!"
The same story was with iphone 5 leaks, everybody thought it was weird and then everybody bought it.
And it's the same this time, everybody's gonna hate this design yet they'll still be waiting in lines for it
I don't think they believe in male grooming practices we do here in the US. j/k...
I don't care if the iPhone 6 looks a little more generic IF it's more in line with top-end Android phones and not 2-3 times the price.
Super high pricing might have worked when iPhones were the cool new thing and miles ahead of the field but Apple need to see the market's much more mature now.

Which begs the question how much are Apple fans willing to compromise on design and functionality before the devices are no longer worth the premium?

The market for crappy plastic phones but even Samsungs newest high end phones are only 50-100 cheaper than iPhones.
