The Aluminum iPhone 6 Mold Being Used By Case Manufacturers

I was intrigued as to how he is the almost always the first one to post something on nearly every news thread, 24 hours, around the clock. Wasn't aware curiosity was 'sad'.

Probably has notifications turned on. A short one-line post shouldn't be too hard to get in first, and besides, it's not like MacRumors is a 24 hour news site. It typically posts articles during normal business hours on weekdays unless there's a big event going on like WWDC or a product release.
 
Where's the Power & Lock (hold) button?

Has anyone else noticed the lack of any Power/Lock/Hold button? I'm sure there should be one in the mold, because you know, cases should be prepared for this important button.

If you're making buying decisions based on unconfirmed rumors from unreliable sources months in advance of any actual product announcements, I don't know what to tell you.

I would have to say there is no doubt that a new iphone will be released this September/October and also no doubt that it will have a large screen. Whether it is 4.7, 5.5 or some other size is the only question. I think that if there are two new sizes, they will both be available at the same time. I remember that the retina mini was supposed to have been announced at a later date than it was, but was available sooner rather than later. Apple won't leave that kind of $$ on the table - people holding off on the 4.7 (maybe) in order to get the larger screen. Also the big one is obviously the phone that Apple is demanding a $100 premium on from the telecoms. Apple won't release a large screen phone and a larger screen phone without a price difference. IMHO
 
Why care about the case molding?

I remember these guys used make larger or even tear drop cases for iPhone 5 and it turned out the same as iPhone 4 but longer. Now this is probably the same situation.

We would have seen something already if there were 10 millions of iPhones ready to ship.

Not too late for that. 9 days remaining. Challenge accepted :cool:

Nah there's no way. They would need a chance to beta test iOS 8 and a new phone would most definitely ship with the new iOS so they could release the phone until iOS 8 was tested and bug free.

Yeah, "bug free", sure...

On the right side of the phone, above the sim slot. It's been said numerous times that the button was moving there.
Not sure about the camera sticking out like the iPod touch, but otherwise, going by this and the mockups, this phone is looking quite nice if the rumours are on the money. I still may be swayed from my S5 back to an iPhone yet. Screen size was the thing that took me away.
 
Don't trust any mockup unless they're showing how it will fit in the front pocket of a hipster's skinny jeans.
 
At this point can anyone truly believe Steve Jobs would have approved a mega sized iPhone?

How on earth do you get first post on nearly every single news thread? Do you sleep? Are you human?

If you read a few of his previous comments, I think you'll find the real question is: how long does it take him to make such thought provoking and astute observations. ;)

Looks as if they might really be serious about the size. I'll be going back to blackberry for business use. I'm not kidding. And for personal use I'll be putting away a 5s while they're still around. This is just ridiculous.
 
So no more level app, if buttons are on both sides. Also, I guess the rounded edges kill off putting the iphone on its side in landscape to watch a video. It will need a kickstand now in the case. great.

You remember wrongly.

The iPhone 4S was rumoured to have a teardrop form factor, not the iPhone 5.

Also, the 5 is a complete redesign, absolutely not 'the same but longer'.

Very good point. Will be interesting to see what people uncover in iOS 8 in terms of support for new screen sizes.
 
so who spends a small fortune on a new iphone and buys these ****** cases that are first to market?

If you really needed in interim case, just buy the Apple case that should be announced with the new Iphone 6

Probably works for MR, though does not know how to Use the CMS to change his title to G5...... ;) be prepared for many more 3 word insights ;)
 
Could we see Apple create a waterproof/water resistant iPhone 6? Or would they be committed to the Life Proof case partnership? I think they should abandon the Life Proof since they would sell more phones even though Apple doesn't care for sales as much because there will always be people buying iPhones yearly.
