I don't get 'the bottom is ugly' remarks. That's arguable the only sexy thing about this. Even with the grill asymmetry, it's quite nice. Also, it loves you.
Yup. We went round and round on this a while back (you and I with others that is). I am prepared to eat partial crow however, I said it would not be flush (it isn't) which I thought was unfortunate but I expected more of a lip.
This is the best picture of the display assembly in the housing we have seen yet IMO.
Bummed it's not flush, stoked its not 4/4s raised which would not vibe with the new back.
Same here, but then again if you look at how raised it is in comparison to the 4S, it's still quite 'flush'. Just not as much as the back plate, which makes it oddly (but subtly) asymmetrical edge-on.
I hope the fully assembled phone is 25%-33% thinner like that unibody breakdown article states. That, combined with the light weight, longer form, and strong frame will make it feel glorious in the hand.
I think there's a chance it will be flush fully assembled
It'll feel great in-hand flush or not, but hopefully you're right..
when did it get so bright?
You can see from the side antenna bands that it's the white model, which explains the bright metal. The black one should be charcoal black all around. Anodized iPhone?
