Now someone get the Sapphire display parts that are floating around recently and put them together with this for a decent imagination of what will be coming. 
If it's water resistant, will definitely upgrade the 5S. I'm so tired of cases, screen protectors (which the sapphire has very hopefully solved) to protect resale value and make the phone look as it isn't intended. Just go all out on durability.
I just want a phone that's good to go out of the box.

I'm going to collect all the published images of parts and tape them together into a working iPhone.
The antenna breaks definitely look better, especially on the black, which looks darker than the slate blue-ish tone used on my iPhone 5. Still wish they would go with the windowed look from that latest mockup, but oh well. Black 4.7" for me. Hope I can get it in 128GB because this needs to last me through the end of 2016—though iCloud Drive might help with that.
What's different about this leak than all the others we've seen? Why don't you wait for the actual phone to be released before you get disappointed.
still don't believe it's going to look like that. doesn't look like something apple would design..
Actually I just did a mockup of the back, and assuming the camera would have roughly the same distance from the flash as currently, the camera would definitely be further from the edge.
While it's not impossible that Apple had to compromise because of the internal layout, IMO it's uglier from the outside.
I made a mockup of a camera hole location that would give a more aethetically pleasant result:
I'm fearing the fact that the 5.5 is not going to come out.
Apple just saved you from looking stupid
And yet again, no surprises this year, at least not regarding the exterior look of the phone. I'm not sold on the white bands on the back. They look pretty fugly in the photos. Maybe seeing the phone in person will be different.
How do we know those antenna breaks will be in the final design? This part is pretty beat up with lots of marks which tells me there is nothing final about it.
Hold your iPhone 5/S in landscape and try to make a picture the more distance between edge and camera, the better. Otherwise, it often occurs that you take a pic with your thumb on the cam.
Yes, there might be a slight shift because of the new case design. With the camera being one of the thickest components, Apple won't be able to put it right up in the corner where it starts tapering to the rounded edges.
I think I read somewhere that they're actually just guide lines for a piece to be placed there. Possibly glass? I dunno, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Not long now!
I totally agree. After watching the sapphire front panel video considering the possibility of not needing a screen protector...I'm definitely tempted.
