No way this is genuine. All the design cues are wrong. Especially the lower and upper sides have always been of equal height on iphones and ipads. Not the case here. Plastic backside not in a single piece ? Please dont kid me. A good 3D prinded spoof, but a spoof.
And this shows clearly that even 4.7" is too big for one hand use by an average woman or teen (which are a bigger market than the canadian tree fellers with huge paws). They may do it noneless but the rumors of even bigger stuff are utterly wrong
I totally agree. The design inconsistencies were the first thing I noticed. It seems to go against the direction they have been heading.

It is a completely genuine artificial creation on what one person thinks it will look like based on leaked details.
This person used plastic or something similar to create the model. That has nothing to do with the material of the actual product. Further to this point, all of the leaked schematics show the back as a single piece of (presumably) aluminum, up to the point of the top and bottom insets on the back. This design does represent exactly that...
And in my opinion this video does nothing to convince me that I don't want this device...just the opposite.

Another one who didn't get the memo. It's no longer about being able to use it with one hand. It's about being able to use it comfortably with two eyes.
No embedded videos show up for me on AI, but that’s because of my extensions.
I have Disconnect, which blocks tracking requests and has the added effect of erasing embedded YouTube videos and whiting out all Blogspot sites that I would happen to visit. But even if I didn’t have it, YouTubeWide would make the video be too large for the embed size and make the controls inaccessible. But I think that’s only because I have ClickToFlash.
Not that I’m complaining, other than to complain that they’re not properly embedded as MP4.
Thats what I was thinking. The weirdest video ever. A badly lit scene featuring a hand fondling a mock up of a rumoured device set to melancholic 'geisha music, or what-ever that was.
i see all the one-handed fans are out in force this morning... I guess they don't like to acknowledge the reality that there are normal people out there looking for big phones... in fact the large screen segment is VERY popular in Asia which is a huge growth market for Apple (plenty of people in the US like big phones, and don't care as much about the one-handed thing). Don't worry, you'll still have the 5S being made if the 4.7" is just too massive for your little delicate fingers... me, I can't wait to see the 5.5" (though I'm sure my wife will be getting the 4.7"). Choice is not a bad thing... unless of course you're deluded enough to think yours is the only right way to do something. The truth is many people who have stuck with iPhones haven't done it because of "one-handed" use... they did it b/c iPhones are very nice, polished products with an amazing ecosystem and software that just works. That's what's kept me from switching to Droid and I'm far from alone. A big screen will just mean another reason to love my iPhone

Yeah, it certainly does make one think the 5.5" iPhone is a load of bull. Getting rid of the 3.5" iPhone and providing a 4.7" model as the alternate iPhone screen size to the 4" model seems to work well I think.
I agree completely.
I'm sure because of the actual device size, there has been a lot of confusion and rounding errors around the 5" mark. Some people interpreting the same device as having different possible screen sizes. Happened with iPad rumors, a lot.

Not the 2-tone back, please I was waiting for the 5 generation to go away so I wouldn't have to see it anymore. The usually re-design their backs for every new generation (not including S), I hope this is the case for the 6.

It's true that if you're fat, a larger phone is beneficial.

Amazing what someone can do in the bedroom these days and have it picked up and spread....

What's with the geisha house soundtrack?

You 3 ReaLly Make Me Laugh !
This Music Has Nothing to Do With " Japanese Geisha " at All !
And If You Have Some Dirty Image Against Geisha,
It's COMPLETELY WRONG !!!
Read Nobel Prized MASTERPIECE Novel " Snow Country ( ?? ) " by Yasunari Kawabata !

And About Music & Composer As Follows. But I Admit Arrangement in This Vid. is Too Slow & NOT NICE.
This Music Was Composed Before World War 2, of Which Chinese Composer Lost His Life During The War. So in Some Sense Very Sad.
But Title of Tune is " Colorful-Clouds-Chasing-the-Moon-What-A-Beautiful-Night-Sky ", Very Nice Fantastic SONG !

It was a joke. Plus I didn't know how else to describe it.

I Think WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AND INVOKED Since Yesterday is
Villain's AAPL Manipulation AGAIN !
Now $587.91
PLEASE. I've been patient!
Well that was important enough for huge blue font. For sure. Sometimes you overdo it. But that's about right.
