I personally like the antenna bands. I never realized how much people cared so much about the aesthetics to say that they are disgustingly disappointed by their new future phone having two lines on the back of it. I mean. what the heck even
Most people keep their phones in cases anyway. Would you guys rather that the phone had worse reception? or that it has two lines on it?

so because some people put their phones in cases,it's ok if phone looks ugly?
Where is the logic in that?
those bars look stupid and ugly man..why couldn't they color match them with the case at least? White rubber? Ugggg
there is nothing wrong with the reception on iphone 5s and it doesn't have those bars..
lol so your logic can only handle either side: looks OR use..while I care for both.

miserable, go enjoy your android and stop moaning!
Miserable is when a few fail to admit the dissatisfaction of the majority,open your eyes 90% of people here HATE this design.
if I wanted an android device I wouldn't even care about the design flaws of iPhone 6..
Well, the logic is "why are people complaining about the look of the phone when it's such a small detail that really doesn't affect functionality in any way", and "why do people care what the phone looks like if they'll never see it anyway?"
There is a lot of logic in that.. I'm not saying that apple is making the phone ugly because people will put it into a case anyway, I'm saying I don't understand why people are getting so upset about a cosmetic detail that in reality they most likely won't even have to look at anyway. It's not about them making the phone ugly, it's about people whining about it when they plan on covering it up anyway
It being ugly is an opinion, and I personally do not agree.
Here's an idea - there have been a HUGE amount of "leaks" - if the leaks have been THIS high profile and regular, and because this even is going to be SO huge, the chances are VERY VERY VERY high this is NOT the real deal, and you've all been duped and misdirected.
Not joking - I doubt this is the final (or real) product, for SUCH a huge re-design. So many things are wrong with it, it beggars belief that you'd think it could even be considered.

I definitely hate the back. When these were leaked initially months ago, I was hoping it was fake. Apple can do something better than that. I mean it's not terrible, but they can do better, or so I thought. Who knows, maybe I'll still be surprised yet?
This is the real deal. When the iPhone 5 was dropping, the leaks were spot on. Last year, the leaks were spot on with the 5c and 5s.
The 5S' reception performance is pretty damn good, isn't it? I have used one multiple times and never had a problem with it.
This may be the first time Apple prioritised function over aesthetics.

The back of those phones were clean lines that were symmetrical and parallel to the shape of the phone. It isn't like this, at all.
I'll be honest, the horizontal antenna band doesn't bother me because it's parallel to each other. It's the band that curves around the top and bottom of the phone that is the irritant. And it's the irritant because it doesn't curve around the absolute top of the phone - because it can't, because there are other things there - but instead it curves around the back and produces a look that creates a contrast with the rest of the back.
It's this contrast that is an eyesore. They should colour in the top and bottom like one of the renders did. Those renders looked great. This is still an eyesore.
Everything else about the phone looks great. The front panel looks beautiful, the screen size is awesome, but the curved antenna bands are an eyesore regardless.
----------
This would make it similar to one of the renders out there, which is absolutely beautiful. I really hope this is true.

Exactly. I'll still be buying it but man oh man, the curved antenna bands don't look good. The M8 looks much better because it's simply horizontal and it creates symmetry and parallels on the back. This doesn't.
Oh the irony in this thread. The bands went from hideous a week or so ago to a beautiful design.
And anyone that still doesn't like it will buy it anyway. Priceless.

I don't get how HTC was able to pull off their antenna design with just one band and less thick while Apple seems to have no clue
Because HTC's unibody is a phony competition tool. The sides of the One M7 are plastic and much of the front and sides of the M8 are plastic.
It's all fake! This is a Goophone. Some smart asses have bought this phone to let us think it's the new iPhone 6. Take it apart and photoshop some apple logo's on the chips and people go crazy.

I like it. I'll be upgrading from my 5.
----------
Just as many people complained about the glass inserts when the 5 was announced.
Maybe the lines are thicker so that the phone can lie flat with the protruding camera. I'm sure Steve would had created a better design.
