Looks rally rally nas

guessing that's the new default wallpaper?
 
The volume buttons look weird. Why are they inside their own recessed portion instead of being separate buttons?
 
Are they using that Beats library to make the selection in iTunes Radio better, or just keeping them separate and keeping Beats Music its own thing? I'd like iTunes Radio to get better since I'm a match subscriber and I just found out streaming is data-free on T-Mobile now...

There was some story a while back that the people behind iTunes Radio didn't really know what Spotify was. They just thought it was like one of those streaming services where you can't pick individual songs, you just get a sort of personalised radio channel. Now they've started panicking because lots of people have stopped buying music on iTunes and stopped syncing music all together, they just use Spotify or similar services.

I've never used it but apparently Beats Radio is basically Spotify with a better player and app. So it'd make sense for them to basically make it the new iTunes Radio.
 
Might be the ugliest iPhone ever released, honestly.
And it's weird they got rid of iphone-specific details from release to release (stand-by button, 3,5mm port upwards).
 
i hope that gap between volume buttons isnt final....very un-apple if you ask me, and very hideous.
Yes. Hopefully that's a not quite final design and that's filled in. Can't see a reason for that to be there aside from cost cutting, which would be disappointing. :'(

The seamless way that the front glass transitions to the aluminum back is beautiful, this is going to be so comfortable to hold.
Probably what I'm looking forward to most. That 3GS feel.
 
Is there (historical seen) any chance the final design could be way/or a lot different then what has been leaked so far?

Aside from wild rumors prior to the reveal of the first iPhone, nothing in history would point to these kinds of leaks being far from the final product.

Expect the phone to look pretty much identical to these.

If you're expecting or hoping for anything else, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
 
Alleged leak of iWatch component drawings & specs surface ahead of tomorrow’s unveiling


http://9to5mac.com/2014/09/08/alleg...s-specs-surface-ahead-of-tomorrows-unveiling/

A set of images have appeared online today (via Reddit) allegedly showing CAD drawings for various components of Apple’s yet to be announced wearable product. The images show various mic and speaker components that look to be right for a watch-like device, but the poster adds more details in a description of the photos noting that Apple’s wearable will have a mic, speaker, Siri, and that a “flexible, multi-touch screen will add a new dimension to the UI.”



The source of the images adds that the device will be waterproof to approximately 20 meters, have battery that lasts a day, and won’t include any lightning connector or “ports”, which is yet another hint at a wireless charging solution that has been rumored before. In addition, the leakster claims the device will come in 8 models made up of 4 colours and two size options.

The round hole is for the sensor plate that will be in contact with the skin. The chunk thats missing on the side is where the watch’s crown goes.

While we can’t vouch for how legit these images are, we’ll have to wait until the first official teardown of the device to find out for sure. Apple is expected to unveil the new wearable during its press event tomorrow, but recent reports claimed the product might not launch until next year.

I know....i just really liked the design of the 5 and 5s, i still dont understand why they chose this design.....to me, its a bit of undermining the feel of the iPhone.
 
I am completely in love with the iPhone 4/5 angular stylings, but this is one gorgeous phone as well.

The rounded edge of the screen is nice, and I don't mind the curved edges, but the colour choices for the back and the bands across are ugly. Hopefully that's going to be less of an issue over time, but it's still disappointing. If the back was a matte black with dark bands it'd look great.

No ports? Sounds like an Apple device...

Or a watch? Do the Android watches have USB ports?

The magic of proper studio shots. I'm really interested in the Space Grey version, I'm getting an OG iPhone vibe from the 6, and that's no bad thing. Interesting they've left a gap in the volume rocker, that'll get clogged up with finger gunk. It looks very comfortable to hold.
 
If it's anything else besides round and looking like an actual quality timepiece.. I'm out.

Yup. Leave it to apple to actually make something that doesn't look like a horrible monstrosity attached to your wrist. All smart watches look completely ridiculous except for that Motorola smart watch at the moment.

Hopefully apple makes it round and makes it look decent.
 
we don't know yet.

although, funnily enough, the only way I'd be in is if it's round like a traditional watch.

Those flat band designs always look awful to me.

flat designs can look good if it's elongated but the box shape is ugly. It looks like someone used a screen from an old Nokia.

Even the 360 isn't that great.

Way too big.

Smart watches just aren't good enough right now. Maybe Apple will change that but I don't have high hopes.
 
After owning a Nexus 5 or the past year, I'm starting to realize why Apple products are so awesome. I'll probably get a new iPhone within the next few years.

Screen size is an issue. though.
 
I'm definitely not head over heels for the Motorola one, but when compared to the rest of the smart watches on the market right now it looks better. There's room for improvement, and apple has typically been the ones to actually think about the look of it's product along with the functionality of it, so i'm excited to see what they come up with.
 
If it's anything else besides round and looking like an actual quality timepiece.. I'm out.
Yup. The only thing that would draw me to it is if it looked like a half decent watch. I'm expecting disappointment, but then I'm not really interested in the first place.
 
Those 2 other watches look pretty big too :lol

I have small wrists though.

which is why I said necessarily. I think it's too big but it's not that big, you know. It's still watch size.

anyway, it was more about the shape. Imagine if that screen was sqaure. It would look ginormous.
