By the way, the estimates of pixels per inch come out to 334 in the first set of estimates and 332 in the second estimate.
Obviously, all these estimates could be way off, and they all hinge on the assumption that the displayed image is the same resolution as the one from the iphone 5, but placed in the exact center of the larger screen.

Would be my 3rd phone this year. 
Looks like fake. Stop the video at 0:43 - the itunes logo is a gear! Also the itunes logo is red since iOS8 Beta afaik.
And the lightning cable on the screen is not going till the bottom of the screen
You are not measuring from the bottom of the screen. You measured the bottom of the cable, but this isn't extending to the bottom of the screen. In your image you can clearly see the bottom of the screen.
The individual components clearly haven't done justice to the final product. That thing looks very, very sleek.
It's also kind of impressive they've managed to piece the phone together. I wonder what would happen if they tried activating it following it's release?

I didn't actually say what i measured here, or how I computed it, did I...
I measured the screen (which is obvious as you say). Call that Y. I also measured the part you see that I measured. Call that X. then the size of the picture is X - (Y-X) = 2X-Y. Then etc. Do you see now what I did?
I guess i might as well say what I actually did.
Y is bottom of screen to top of screen. X is bottom of cable (presumed bottom of image) to top of screen.
X - (Y-X) = 2X-Y is bottom of image to top of image (assuming center placement).
image size presumably 1136. Scale that up to get the approximate vertical dimension: 1136*Y/(2X-Y).

Does anyone know if it's possible to correct for camera lens distortion? This, followed by a linear transformation to make it appear that the photo was taken perpendicular to the screen rather than at an oblique angle, might give a more accurate resolution estimate.
I'm guessing that without knowing what camera (and in particular which lens), and without knowing exactly what the crop is, it's probably not possible to correct the distortion.
To those sayings its real, how is it any different from the goophone, a well known iphone6 fake? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb_ESU7B7nM)
I'm pretty sure that is a goophone, the loading gear/cog is android on the well copied iOS skin.
ugliest iphone ever
If this is the final design then we re talking about the ugliest, most samsung-like, iPhone ever. iPhone 4, 5 was like bang & olufsen. iPhone 6 is like Samsung. Bevels, extracted camera, outlines? WTF? Made only for US & Chinese people who suffer from bad taste? Maybe.

I'm just glad to see the chamfered edges go away. Of all the pretty and delicate design decision for iPhones so far, it always seemed like the most uselessly delicate
I could scratch and chip it by looking at it wrong (for both the 5 and 5S). And the transition from pretty to yikes is slim and shocking.
I still find it hard to believe that they're going with the horrible sticking out camera lens.

Apple products tend to look nicer when you see the final product in the flesh so to speak but I have to agree with you that it doesn't look anything special and it does look like something Samsung would put out. The problem is that the iPhone business is so important to them now that they can't afford to be all that radical which is probably why they are playing it safe hoping that people will buy it for the larger screen and iOS8.

damn
i was really hoping it wouldn't be like this with the ugly ass camera ring and the bands guess ill just wait for the note 4 or go for a cheaper 5s, i was really hoping to go back to apple and a bigger screen but the phone looks ugly to me and i don't want my phone to rock when i put it on a table and try to do things, on it while im eating or using the computer smh

so.. what size was that? (assuming this is real)
I like the looks of it, I don't like the camera lens ring and the stripes on the back...

battery life and camera: thickness
It would be MUCH smaller if they increased the battery life internally instead of using an external case. I would think they could make the battery life quite a bit longer by increasing the iPhone thickness 10% than getting a case which increases the physical size 50%-80% (and possibly still not attaining the same battery life).
I'm not doing any scientific calculations here, it's just those cases (and I've had a few) have a lot of wasted space since they have to enclose a battery and fit firmly on the phone, I'd think there is some inefficiency using a battery to charge a battery too (but I can't say how large).
And the battery case would not help with the camera at all. The thinner the case is, it has to affect the camera some.

Hopefully colour-wise it's not real otherwise those ugly lines + ipad 2 style shell colour will really reduce the aesthetic desirability of the iPhone for lots of people (including myself).
Knowing apple it probably is the real deal like you said and they will bring back black for the 6S
