If those lines are insulators related to integrated antennas, then they are a go.

I know why they're there, I just don't like the implementation. The HTC One has the same insulator lines, but they don't look nearly as fugly.

For those of you concerned about B41 Carrier Aggregation, AJ told you all in advance that the new iPhones would not support it.  The chip they are using is limited to only a total of 20MHz aggregated.

Honestly, while it would have been great to see 40mhz CA, just having access to B41 is a win in my opinion. I personally have held onto my iPhone 5 since launch, so this would be a perfect upgrade for

When the camera protrudes like it does you're going to use a case anyway. I don't get the hate surrounding the plastic antenna lines.

The concept versions just make it look hideous. I'm sure apple will make it more attractive if they must leave them for superior reception. I hate phone cases and often take mine off and leave it off for a period of time. I don't see the protruding camera effecting me if it means that I have a better camera.

By that logic, why even attempt to make a good looking device?

 

Why did Apple have to make a camera that protruded?

 

Why force me to use a case?

 

Of course, we really have no idea what the phone is really going to look like. These are all just rumors at this point.

I think the sensor was too big to fit inside. This is the same thing they had to do with the iPod touch...I think. However, it better be an upgrade from 8 mp this time or apple is going to be behind competition for quite a while...

I can't get over those ugly lines....

Yeah. The lines are a no-go.

I'm not an Apple fan, but in the ChinaTel release, the lines don't look so bad to me. Pretty attractive looking device. I bet there's a lot of yelling going on in Cupertino. Big oops!

I'm weird... More often than I should. Sometimes I put the phone screen down because I have led flash alerts on.

 

Regardless, I know apple will make it aesthetic if the lines are necessary for improved reception. If they're anything like the one in the previous post, I won't care.

All the time? Considering my phone is with me literally all day, every day.

 

Aesthetics aren't the only thing I care about, trust me. But Apple is known for their design language. People do have expectations.

 

That being said, my G3 is more than meeting my expectations. I doubt I'll get an iPhone 6 at this point, unless it features CA or some other game changing feature - although, doubtful at this point.

Everyone at s4gru knows Apple is not going to do anything game changing. So looks like you'll have your g3 for a while lol. I was thinking about the iPhone 6 but I think I'll stick to my nexus phone and my FREE iPad mini with retina.

See you've got your g3. You already have all the bells and whistles. Not to mention your beautiful car (completely off topic). The 6 hopefully will be a meaningful upgrade from the 5s. Most importantly I want improved battery life, reception, and b41. If it doesn't have one of those things, I may even wait till the 6s or go to the dark side.

I'm already thinking about getting a Nexus 5 as an occasional use device for Band 41, LTE/1x tracking, and the ability to use a good Android device (because the only one we have in the house is a Galaxy Tab 3, which, you know, sucks). But I probably won't go completely to the dark side ;)

I look at swappa everyday. If I see the price go down when they release the next nexus, I'll snatch one up.

Honestly, now that I've figured out how to comfortably move from the Apple ecosystem to Android's for phone duties, I doubt I'll go back for a little while. I'm too hooked on being able to customize my user experience as well as actually being able to utilize network tools (which come in handy in today's ever changing mobile networks, especially Sprint); not being able to use LTE Discovery or Signal Check Pro is a serious deal breaker for me now.

 

I also really love being able to get a device on the bleeding-edge of what is available technologically.

 

Android has come a long way since I last owned an Android handset (HTC Evo 4G).

That's exactly what I was planning on doing! The current gen Nexus will still be a great device even when the mew one comes out.

It's really the quickness, ease of use, and superior app development that keeps me. Everything on android feels like it has an extra, unnecessary step to do almost anything, and of the ios version of my apps run smoother, and look better than their android counterparts. I can't wait for the 6/iOS 8

My family knows me as the anti-iPhone guy since I've been a pure android fan for a looong time. However, those renders have me seriously debating whether or not I want this device....!

Same here. That iPhone looks beautiful.

John Gruber did the math, and now I want that 5.5" monster.

As much as I do like that idea, and it could be plausible, someone posted a few pages back that someone had found the likely resolution of the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 inside of iOS 8, and it wasn't 1334x750 :(

A 5.5-inch iPhone at 2208 × 1242 pixels (and @3x retina scaling) would be bananas!

While this statement was true a few years ago, this really isn't the case anymore. Android has come a very long way.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
