Apple doesn't care...either you buy it or don't.
So? I care about what I buy.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 (unsure about the rest of that line) and the Nexus 5 have protruding cameras. I personally have the GS4 and it has never been an issue. People just like to complain.
Edit: I believe some Nokia Lumias have protruding cameras as well, such as the 925, 1020 and 1520.
I will admit that the 1020's camera, while nice, is a little overboard - in fact, it looks like a tumour.

You have the latest and greatest until Sept 9. You can't be seriously thinking about upgrading ?
Even though I know Apple tries their best, I don't think product releases are targeted for people to upgrade every time a new product comes out.
Am I the only one hoping that every leak is wrong? I think all these "leaks" of pictures of the iPhone 6 are absolutely hideous because of those large antennas and that pertruding camera!! I think these leaks are all bs to make people think that people actually have info on the iPhone 6. I think apple will give a us a thin beautiful bigger phone, that none of us expected.

Upgrading the phone after one year is not smart regardless, hardly ever is it worth updating a phone after a one year update
For all the people who think it's to late for mass production: Foxconn even had a production volume of 500k per day last year for the 5s. So it's save to say they can also make 500k iPhone 6's per day, probably more.
35 days till release - 15-20 millions of iPhone 6's.
With a brand new design, who can say? Not you, not me, only Apple.
And, sadly, the US does not have the workforce to build as many as would be needed.
This year apple really managed to flood internet with all kinds of fakes. At this point I will just wait for the real announcement and see what they have to show us, because what I'm seeing right now is bull.
It's going to need far more than just a bigger screen and an incremental update to the camera to make me want to upgrade from my 5s.
do you even know what good is liquid metal for, or are you just saying it because of its cool name?
Very true. However, there was recently all of those reports that Apple is striving to meet consumer demand this time around and doesn't want to get caught short for the iPhone 6 launch with constrained supply. They are heavily rumored to upping their production to 80 million units for day one launch. That's a lot of phones to build in the next 37 days. Maybe the rumored robots are really helping with production?

If Apple opened a domestic U.S. manufacturing plant on the scale of Foxconn, I'm sure there would be plenty of people lined up to work there. Just based on the Apple brand alone.

Hope so too, but we've been through this before. Too many leaks from too many sources to indicate anything but the leaked cases and screens we've seen thus far. This same thing happens every year.
Indeed - which is why I don't believe that quality assurance would be this late and full production wasn't already going if the September date is correct. I think this rumor is just wrong.
Just wondering - is the iPhone 6 the first cell phone with a protruding camera? If no - have the experiences with other phones been THAT bad that it seems to be such a major issue?
Yeah, the streets are littered with iPod Touches that people have thrown away in disgust…
and don't go into the sales numbers as your defense, it's a different product than the iPhone and less popular from the start.
"in before such and such comments" is the new "first" comment.
it's not clever. just useless and annoying.
gee, I wonder why I didn't buy one.
and don't go into (legitimate counter-argument), it's (some ******** reason).
My point being that iPods are not of everyone but has there been some type of mass uprising regarding the camera ring? Sure a few posts about them not sitting flat but not a hell-storm of fury by any stretch...

New reports from Chinese media sources (Google Translate, via G for Games) claim that the iPhone 6 has entered a final product validation testing stage ahead of mass production before its launch this fall. Apple is reportedly working with Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory to produce a small number of units to ensure quality control standards have been implemented, as the device will then be mass produced at Apple's various supply partners.
Previously, a report last month claimed that Apple had already begun mass production for the iPhone 6, however it is possible that reported production issues may have led to delayed testing and output. It is also unknown whether this final testing stage is for both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6, as Apple has reportedly had issues in producing the latter's sapphire display and battery life.
Apple's iPhone 6 is expected to be announced at a launch event on Tuesday, September 9. In addition to a larger screen, the device will likely incorporate a thinner, rounded form factor and feature a faster and more efficient A8 chip, as well as an improved camera with stabilization.

I don't believe NFC is a certain feature of iPhone 6.
So? you're just posting for attention.
At least my posts are worth reading.
