Very nice, ty.

What weird creatures we are. When the 4 came out I griped that the curved plastic backing on the 3g was better. When the 5 came out I lamented the loss of the glass backing of the 4. And now looking at the 6 I think I'm going to miss the squared off look of the 5, but it is reminiscent of the 3g which I originally preferred.

Haha yeah it seems we tech nerds are never satisfied...and always pessimistic :D A massive 5.5" 3G-style mode is what we need maybe, with translucent plastic for the back!

Seeing the newly printed pictures of the ip6 5.5" I'm quite disappointed in the bezels. I was expecting to be disappointed in the top/bottom bezels, but the side ones are much thicker than I would have thought a flagship phone in 2014 would be. If the rumors of a wraparound screen on the Note 4 are true I'm going to have a very hard decision.

Agreed, they don't look very nice on the pics currently on the front page. But - the side bezels have varied quite a lot between videos of the mockups, on the one I last linked above they look slim enough IMO.

Now I'm thinking the top/side bezels actually look way too large though...LOL the pain never ends.

I hope there is some attempt on Apple's part to improve the bezel to screen ratio.

The poor screen to bezel won't work well on a larger device.
