iPhone 6 rumor rollup for the week ending July 4

9to5Mac's subsequent headline interprets the GForGames headline as "iPhone 6 mockups are a 'rough approximation' according to report, claims antenna design will differ significantly." According to Benjamin Mayo, "As translated by GforGames, the report says that while the mockups offer a good estimate of the final design, some key details are omitted."

Good news, eh

So what did the Nikkei.com "report" actually reveal The post's author, Hiroshi Maruo, writes "This mock-up, I got from the mail order site of China dealing with repair parts of the iPhone."

Based on this treasure, Maruo explains that "In this article, and people in regard to making things AppleApple, along with the designer and manufacturer of competing with Apple design information such as through contract manufacturers, I explore the direction of the design of the iPhone." Technically, he means "I explore the direction of the design of anonymous third-party mockups of the iPhone." Alles zu Apple auf CIO.de

Most of his post is a catalog of how rotten is the quality of the mockup he obtained. The surface is "gritty rough." There is an "unwanted bulge," and "visible trace of burr holes," all completely lacking in the "polite polish characteristic of Apple products." And "it was also full of gap distance between the hole and the button."
