If this is legit it looks quite pedestrian. Did operations force Jony to come up with something less complex than the 5/5s. Or is this something that's incredibly complex but just looks simple and kind of boring?
I had hoped that Apple would go back to putting the headphone jack on the top, and not the bottom of the phone. I find the latter a tad annoying.
I think it works much better on the bottom.
1) I like to keep my phone upside down in my front pocket so when I grab it, I have the home button as a grip location, safer not to let it slip plus it is in the proper orientation to view the screen when just checking the time, hence the earphone plug is a better fit pointing up when it is in my pocket.
2) If the jack is on the top, the wire is hanging down sometimes getting in the way of using the screen,
3) If the plug is on the bottom, gravity allows the wire to naturally flow downward instead of on the top and bending back putting stress on the insulation where it connects to the plug.
All minor points true, but still a better design to have it on the bottom in my opinion. I'd be interested to learn why you would prefer it on the top.
What made you think that? Maybe that the phone is not even released yet? /s
Do you feel better? Obviously I meant I don't think this is an iPhone, but is a cheap Chinese knockoff like the goophone. But you knew that right? Just didn't fit with your need to be a smartass.

No, my point is that your point about it being another knockoff is obvious; since the product is not released. It wasn't apparent from your post that you thought the same.
Of course it is fake. The phone would never have a plastic trim bezel around the glass. It won't have a fat rounded edge back panel like the original iPhone.

I thought I preferred it on top until I did some "evaluating" while sitting on the bus (it was that or stare at my navel). I made the same kinds of observations you did -- maybe not exactly the same points, but similar enough -- and ultimately decided that the state of my navel was a better subject of my attention than coming up with reasons that one location was better than another for a headphone jack!

Looks like a cross between a 1st gen iPhone and a 3rd gen iPod touch.
Give us a new product line Apple. How hard is that to accomplish?
8/10, would never want to read trolling like this again.

It looks like a first gen. If that’s pedestrian, call me Street Walker Jackson. Wait, maybe don’t...
Am I seeing this correctly by saying the button is inside the screen? Looks like there is no bottom bezels.
I like it. But the photos make me think it's another knockoff.

The screen ends here. You can compare this image with the one above to see it better. It’s all under a single pane of glass.

whatever dude.
At least no more “Why does only one speaker work on my iPhone this is horrible Apple is evil they sold me a broken phone” nonsense.
Too old a reference?
It never gets old; people still ask about the second speaker.

Does this thing perform authentication and location service for payments, unlocking doors, etc?
Does this have 160gb space and the ability to alter tags for my lossless music collection?
Can it last 24 hours in full usage while also running bluetooth?
I am a long apple investor but I have been waiting a LONG time for my wishlist to be fulfilled and getting impatient. i know i am not the only one.
I want a premium phone with all of the above requests and I will pay for it.
