Looks faked to me. I say that because the inside looks machined. i don't think apple would do more than test the design that way. They wouldn't/couldn't machine tens of millions of them in mass production. There would maybe be a stamping process and then machining the ports on the sides. Seems like an elaborate hoax or someone got their hands on a prototype part.
We will see in 8 days.
This is how unibody iPhones (and MacBooks) are made, machined aluminum. And yes they machine tens of millions of them in mass production. Apple's an expert in aluminum milling, iPhone production lines use hundreds of custom CNC milling machines. That's why iPhone 6 clones are made of plastic.
Here's the leaked iPhone 5 back shell for reference, which looked exactly like the final product:
Let me simplify this a little bit more for you. You, myself and most of the posters on here know what you said to be mostly true. What I'm saying is, that the mass general public who know next to nothing about these matters will only hear and remember Apple's iCloud was hacked. Despite if it's true or not.
Fortunately, you are wrong. The mass general public who know next to nothing about these matters will neither hear nor remember Apple's iCloud was "hacked."
Numerous reports, including one from well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, have suggested that the 5.5-inch variant could be delayed until as late as 2015.
I'm interested in a new iPhone and also an iPad mini to replace my becoming useless BB PB.
Wondering if the phablet 5.5" iPhone will serve both purposes?
Will have to try holding it with one hand for phoning and try putting it in my usual pockets.

"Hack" to people that don't know what hack means, means compromising anything, from anywhere.
In the real world, hack means through a security flaw of a system, a malicious user was able to compromise a system and/or it's data.
If these celebrities set their passwords to Password321, and it is guessed, that is not a hack. This also applies if their email account has been compromised and their Apple ID password has been changed unknowingly. That is not a hack. That is poor security management on the users end.
A hack would be finding a backdoor (in this case to the Photo Stream and/or iCloud backup service) and targeting Apple ID's to steal data. That did not happen.
Plus, Apple has had 2 step verification implemented for some time, so a user cannot access this sort of data without verification from an existing approved device. If you had celebrity status, where many, many people would like to compromise your accounts and details, you would undisputedly turn on the maximum security settings available.
Good day.
if a web site gets a billion 'guesses' in the 'forgot my password' screen, I would say the site was hacked to gain user information (passwords) using brute force on the site, no matter if the password was password123 or 123password. Rather than finding a 'back door' just finding a front door with no video monitoring is enough. Brute force is easy if no one is watching.
Stupid Human tricks not withstanding, Apple should at least have someone watching the doors.

I did not describe brute force. What I described was a password that is easily guessable, or if an email account had already been compromised. That is not a hack, by any means. That is being negligent.
If you want to talk about brute force, yes, that is a hack. But any secure website should have been programmed around that, which fortunately Apple's does. (refer to previous post).
Fortunately, you are wrong. The mass general public who know next to nothing about these matters will neither hear nor remember Apple's iCloud was "hacked."
Non-tech sites and social media are talking about how celebrity photos were "leaked" and focusing on the damage to the celebrities. Tech sites are yammering about an iCloud "hack" and excited about how it makes Apple look bad.
It will be fun to sees phablet iPhone in stores soon.
As far as nomenclature. I hope Apple doesn't call this massive phone the "iPhone Air".
The smaller 4.7 inch phone should be called "Air" while the larger model should be called the "Pro" model just like with the MacBooks.
Uhh no. Apple doesn't need to follow any name pattern. I can understand iPad Air and Pro ( maybe) names because these target different crowds: consumers and enterprise in which apps will be different too. For iPhone, I don't see the difference for enterprise, really, so the name iPhone Pro makes zero sense.
Battery life (see also "obsession with non-removable batteries")
Antennagate 2: antenna bands(TM)
No 1080p
Protruding lens ring
iCloud hack
But but but Edward Snowden
Proprietary Lightning connector instead of non-reversible USB Micro-B
No stereo speakers like HTC
Let me see:
Walled garden: that's why it's malware free and great for enterprise and no fragmentation. It can do everything that people need and for anything else, there's an app for it.
Obsession with thinness: It's called innovation. It's harder to make something thin than thick without losing functionality and features.
Battery life (see also "obsession with non-removable batteries"): last time I checked bunch of android phones start to use non-removable battery..Experia Zx, HTC One...
Antennagate 2: antenna bands: uh...what the hell are you talking about?
No 1080p: for a 5" screen? LOL, unless you have Hawk's eyes, whatever over 300ppi is considered a waste. It's just marketing gimmick.
Protruding lens ring: I believe Galaxy phones and some other android phones have it too.
iCloud hack: hack my butts...check you source or it makes you sound like a fool.
But but but Edward Snowden: another dumb unrelated thing here.
Proprietary Lightning connector instead of non-reversible USB Micro-B: I don't think any android phone has reversible USB at the plug and the phone port. What's your point?
No stereo speakers like HTC: HTC is the only one, but all the speakers on phone sound like sh.t anyway, who really cares.

You totally missed his point, unless your point was to aggregate rebuttals to his points, in which case I missed your point.

No, thinness in and of itself isn’t innovation.

It can run Microsoft Office. /s

Can't wait for my 5.5" 128g iPhone
In the photo, top & bottom bezels looks like they may have shrank????
Apple is sure busy putting out "leaked" iPhone info.
Numerous reports, including one from well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, have suggested that the 5.5-inch variant could be delayed until as late as 2015.

Will have to try holding it with one hand for phoning and try putting it in my usual pockets.
It’ll serve neither.

They could call it the iPhone Compensator.
Apple's iCloud wasn't hacked.

You wound me, sir.
I want to believe (that this absolute garbage isn’t a phone), but there’s no reason for antenna bands on an iPod touch.
Where do you work? The Nude Celebrities Hotline?

You will soon see iPad mini going into oblivion. Steve Jobs was right about smaller form of iPad.
Did you miss his intent?

No, thinness in and of itself isn’t innovation.
That isn’t a rebuttal.
Let me see:
Good practice run. You're now prepared for the real Fandroids. Battle stations: Sept 9 is around the corner.
A reminder to bone up on the warning signs.
