Actually, that's not bad. I would have loved that back in 2005 or 2006. I really thought those slider phones were cool back then.

Makes you wonder why the guy who created this, doesn't work for Apple. This is an absolutely beautiful design.
.They'd have to clean it up first. It's a bit messy in parts, if you look closely at the head phone Jack for example.
That's a older mock up. And all it is a 5 with the screen stretched in PS. It's terrible, actually, and rather possible to do at this point. U have to have some kind of bezel. U can just run the display to the edge. And not only that, could u imagine how many broken screens there would be? No bezel-less iPhones in the near future.
Considering the number of OCD threads since the release of iPhone 2, that would be a big no. MR will be flooded with "OMG I dropped my phone I scratched the aluminium back cover what naoooo".
What do you think the black/silver part of the iPhone 5 is?
And what others have been saying, the iPhone 5 is already an aluminum unibody....

You know MR was flooded by scuffgate threads then "black iphone 5 scratch out of the box, I'll return" blah blah right.
Proof:
looks familiar... hmm.. oh well, it is proof I guess. Bring on that awkward looking iPhone 6!
I know. Not really dismissing your point( though getting a damaged phone out of the box is unacceptable). Just saying the back is already aluminum.
I don't think the problem is women and handbags. My iPhone 5 is in perfectly good condition, and it's usually in my purse or jacket pocket when I'm out and about. The problem is teenagers putting them in their back pockets and sitting on them.
No no no no. With current technology, border less is NOT the way to go. If they somehow put all the LCD circuitry at the back, there is still a problem with touch responsiveness. When you are close the the edge, responsiveness becomes exponentially lower. To solve this, manufacturers put a tiny bit of touch sensors in the bezel. That solves the issue.
Why do you think Samsung pulled off an almost border less TV screen, but not a phone one?
It's barely worth mentioning, but I just meant that after having iPhones I was surprised at the quality of the head phone jack and connecter parts. It's a gorgeous phone but close up there's little things they could have perfected to make it full iphone quality. Saying that I bought an HTC One because I was annoyed about how easily scuffed my iphone 5 got quickly!!
Most people already think they're going to get a better camera than this with a flat lens.
You are the exception to the rule.
If you go out for a walk about right now, look at chicks on their phones and then look where they end up.
Dropped straight into that good old handbag. lol
As for teenagers, they are worse. They don't care either way because more often than not, they are not paying for them.
