Personally, I don't like this. It reminds me WAY too much of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Note 3.

 

But it sure is thin.

 

These can probably be fake or not. Who knows.

Or HTC one I think.

I'm buying one no matter what.

It's finally Samsung fans time to tell every Apple lover "Hey! Your copying the S series phones!!"

Seriously people. A phone that's a touch screen is hard to change what the front looks like. It's a slab of glass, a speaker, an LED, camera and, perhaps, a button.

There are only so many ways you can go about it.

why?

[ShadyHost]

why?

I've loved every iPhone that i've owned. 

 

5s is great. 6 looks better assuming these pictures are somewhat like the final product.

For some reason, to me it always take awhile to like the new design of the iPhone. I hated how the 5 at first looked, but now I like it

[CyberneticTitan]

Looks like a bigger iPod Touch 5th Generation.

They should keep the 'rectangular' shape tradition.

[LegendKillerRG]

Very first picture that was rumored to like like the iPhone 6 looks way better than this, very flat glass design on front and back and side but curve at the corner.

So... Apple is now copying Sumsung?

[TooManyErrors]

Great, now the iPhone may be even more fragile than it already was.

Looks like a mix between the iPhone 5s and iPad Air/Mini designs. I don't think it's real though. For starters, how could they pull off a gapless all metal back and sides shell while still getting decent cell reception? They have never done a solid metal back on anything with a cell antenna because doing so kills cell reception.

I kind of like it. It's just like the new iPads, which I find quite aesthetically pleasing. It also sort of reminds me of the first gen iPhone, which I loved to death at the time.

Oh dear the resemblance to android phones. Come on apple do something more innovative. 

[Legend666]

I'd really hope that's the real IPhone 6 ^^. It looks quite nice and thin as well.

[Crosses1901]

Geez, I don't understand how people can say "Oh now they're copying android phones now boo hoo...". Come on, look at all touch screen phones, they are all basically the same in the front anyway! If it weren't for the sheer difference in screen size you could say the iPads copied android phone design too then!

 

There's only so much you can do with a speaker, screen, and home button in the front. And the home button, by the way, is seen as Apple's signature...

 

I think accusing Apple of copying anyone's design for the new phone isn't fair, considering they started the whole thing years back anyway...

 

No one is copying anyone. It's just a good practical touch screen design. Speaker on top for your ear, screen in the middle, home button for your hand near the bottom, what other possible ways are there?!?

How many different design can you make when the earpiece should be on the top, the physical button on the bottom and naturally the screen in between with minimum bezels for compactness. Like many people already pointed out you can't do much design change in the front of the device other than the shape. And I don't see how this looks like S4 or Note 3. I find it more similar to the iPod.

Personally I like this design and I'm definitely ready to put my money on this to upgrade from my 4S.

[RedRound2]

You do know it's allegedly supposed to be Sapphire Glass on the front, right??

[RedRound2]

I love this design, better than the 4 and 5's anyway. Even I'm starting to like the Gold colour of the new 6. Sure hope it's not fake

[chicksoup]

I looks too freakishly thin and I can imagine many breaking, but I also looks too thin for it to be nice to hold in the hand and you have to keep in mind that the screen is rather thick and the battery isn't thin either

[brownninja97]

I think this is fake, maybe a fake Chinese manufacture doing whatever the hell they want.

[Qwertious]

looks real nice, sleek and minimalistic

These have been proven to be computer generated renders.

There impressive renders.

[DudeWazap]

That looks a lot like my Note 2.

Add to that the fact that the trend is to maximize screen size and minimize thickness so everybody (Apple included) will make very similar phones. And before anybody mentions it: No I don't think curve phones will become a thing, it's just another gimmick like 3D and it will die out since unless you invent curve batteries and curve motherboards and basically curve everything, it's a terribly wasteful form factor that will inevitably lead to performance and features being gimped out vs a regular, flat and thin rectangle.
