Apple Expected to Announce iPhone 6 in Early September, With Launch Later in the Month

[dasx]

This renders/mockups start to look pretty consistent. So this gonna be either a "meh, I've been seeing it for the last 5 months" or a "holly ****!!".

 

[Wishbrah]

Looks like a rounded 5...not my fav render

 

[Frizers]

Should get my iPhone just after fresher's week

 

[The Doctor11]

The mock ups with the lines were horrible. This one with the glass is awesome.

Best Apple-like render so far. I still hope for few tweaks (especially for the back) but it looks great. Can't wait - my iPhone 4 is ready to retire - actually passing on to my mum who still has 3GS ))

This looks like the most accurate depiction of what the iPhone 6 will actually look like. I like it a lot. Still simple. I figured they'd go the iPad Air/Mini route to make the whole lineup more cohesive.

rumors

"which has now been confirmed by a reliable source"

You can't confirm a rumor with another rumor. Anything other than an official announcement by Apple Management is, by definition, a rumor.

Or are they implying that the first source was unreliable?

"confirmed by reliable source" means I am pretty sure the rumor is true, but I have no confirmation, so I'll just say I have a reliable source.

I love the look of this phone... dislike the glass "breaks" on the back though, didn't like them on the 5/5S either. Would have preferred either all glass or all metal backing (I know, all metal would have blocked some of the radios). The breaks just look tacky. This GOLD render is friggin' ugly though.

I really hope they bring back Space Grey, best color they've used to date. Space Grey with a White Screen would be awesome!

Possibly and I'm only guessing here it might be because some people effect/block radio waves a bit. I know I do.

I affect my FM clock radio depending on where I put my hand near it. I also can't talk on an iPhone while laying on my back. Nobody can ever hear me if I'm laying down on my back while on the phone, but the second I sit back up they're like "ok that's better". I know it sounds weird but I've noticed this with all 3 of my iPhones and the radio thing since I was a kid.

My wife has seen it happen when we watch TV off the antenna too. If I stand at one place we're fine and if I move we lose the digital signal.

Why not wait a few weeks so they can tell people it's available right now.

 

[kerrikins]

That Champale color will appeal to the ghetto market.

People said that about it when it originally came out last year and it's still just as gross a stereotype now as it was then.

The "sourcing" on most of these stories for the past 6 months is highly questionable. It's mostly speculation based on personal expectations and previous dates on which certain products were released.

No you mean "Shut Up take My Parents Money"

There's a difference?

 

[VersaceX]

Stereotype much?

Whether it's PC or not they had to originate from somewhere.

I agree, this one looks really good. Still don't like white different-material+color on top/bottom on the back though. I'm sure it's very difficult to create a unibody and still have it receive radio signals, but I'm sure Ive lies awake at night trying to figure out how get rid of these kinds of compromises.

as with every other render/mockup I just have to point out one obvious flaw: They go backwards on the flash. Why on earth would Apple get rid of the True-Tone Flash?? The iPhone 5S has the best flash photos of any phone camera by far!! I've tested it with mine versus some friends' GS4's and GS5's as well as a Nokia Lumia. Their single tone flashes don't come close to the dynamic coloration of the true-tone flash. My pictures always end up with better color because of the way the true-tone flash works.

No way apple will get rid of that.

They can fit 2 LEDs in a circle, or even a color changing LED.

 

[SMIDG3T]

This render is close to what we'll see. It's the best "mockup" we've seen to date.

CANNOT WAIT!!

 

[darkslide29]

The iPhone 5 launched in September. The iPhone 5S launched in September.
The iPhone 6 is going to launch in September?! WOW. So amaze.
Thank goodness for these analysts.

I agree with the glass panels statement. Even though I bought a 5, and currently own a 5S, I have never liked the aesthetics as much as the 4/4S. Would love it if the new phone went back in that direction.

 

[bdkennedy1]

Right?

 

[kmj2318]

Wait, it's going to be launched later this month, and announced in September?

 

[MoreAwesomeDanU]

im starting to thinking about unsubscribing macrumors.

Its like if CNN announced *BREAKING NEWS: THE SKY IS BLUE"

zzzzzzzzz

To be fair the first four phones were released in the summer. But yeah, this is getting repetitive.

 

[SgtFire]

What gets me is

The comments stating this is close to what we'll see or other similar comments. You guys don't know *****! Best to keep your mouth shut and people think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

 

[captain kaos]

That escalated quickly.
