TMZ has an iPhone 6

such design much thinner must have taken them a solid hour to come up with that.

i wonder how they'll sue everyone who had a phone that looked like that first.
 
I'm leaning towards a fake.

If you look at the image Feld & Volk leaked, the home button on the front plate is basically at the bottom of the device.

That doesn't match these pictures from TMZ:

I think F&V have the real parts, personally.

Also, one more inconsistency, it seems every leak has the device having a very small hole for the front facing proximity sensor. Same as the 5/5S. This has an ugly long black bar for the prox sensor and it's not flush or even with other components.

"As for the inner workings -- we're told it's not running an authentic Apple IOS, which is SOP during the development stage for security purposes."

Riiiight. Also, that phone is running iOS 7, not iOS 8. Fake.

I wonder how much they paid for it.
 
Probably a fake.

My predictions for the iPhone 6
-It will have an Apple logo on the back
-It will have a touch screen of some sort
-It will run iOS 8
-It will be obscenely expensive to buy off contract

that black bar will only show on white phones (because it's black) and on black it's almost hidden. The placement of that is awkward though... It usually is on top of the speaker..
 
I think just about every tech site was mocking them for posting it. Those pics had already come out as a Chinese knockoff running Android.

It's a black bar on the iPhone 4/4S above the earpiece. On the 5/5S white phones, it's the small circle to the left of the of the earpiece.

It's highly unlikely they'd go back to a bar type prox sensor on the next device. And that they would place it where it is placed on the phone in the picture.

Ah, but that's not the game. The name of the game is "clickbait"...the bigger the controversy, the more hits they get, and the more more money they make off ads. They know exactly what they are doing 😉
 
My wishlist:

1. Bigger screen
2. Twice as thick (easier to hold, heftier in the hand, and double the battery life)
3. Waterproof (or at least, water-resistant)
4. USB 3.0 connection (2.0 BLOWS for transferring 1080p videos!)
 
That's close to most of the leaks I've seen at macumors. Only thing different is that in some of the more recent ones those "white bands" appear to be dug out and are there for prototype purposes. I think they are going to do some kind of liquid metal contrast bands in their place.
