The Apple logo at the back of the iPhone 6 won't be backlit

12 August, 2014
A new photo shows the logo doesn't have any pins for drawing power or any LEDs.

There are no LEDs logo?
As usually, Apple to cut cost and gain more profit...

      Oh man, that was the only reason I was going to buy the iphone6, no LED on the back - what a sad day.

Apple seems more content with claiming refining/fine tuning technology as 'innovation'. I'm not so sure about this distinction. Slight advancements maybe.
        I'm no apple fan but I think a glowing back logo will be good advertising using the same basic principle as their mac books & desktops.
        If it keeps all other OEMs on their toes to develop more REAL innovation to compete, then surely it's good news for everyone :)

Continue talking about iPhone and innovation. It's the same reason people associate "copycat" and "Samsung" or "lag" and "Android." The ironic and funny part is that you Apple haters don't realize you're the ones perpetuating it.

                    Make no mistake, you were the "64bit advantage" as the lone cause for performance increase... I was the one pointing for the pipeline -- the one you are conceding in your reply to have a part in it.

                          Metal as its termed, means Games have Direct access to CPU/GPU bypassing opengl layer, thus improving draw speed.

                          OpenGL is an api... not a improvement. They however do make improvements to the api to improve performance in new versions.

                          How Metal will improve the existing A7 is yet to be seen. But as it stands now, the GHz / Core count vs other existing SoC in terms of benchmarks does show how armv8 or 64bit does have massive impact on performance.

                              Apple is only going downhill. Look at the rumored pics, looks similar to the iphone 5 with those stupid lines on the top and bottom, who the hell ever told apple that its nice. Its sad sad sad.

                                      The battery of the iPhone 6 won't even last for a hour...(no matter what you tell me, talking won't charge it up ;) )
                                      Its not like the device itself will last any longer.

Android L support it.... morenote 3 with 3gb ram still is freezing & note 4 with 4gb ram will freeze. 64 bit needs 6GB of ram to flow slow. mark my word. btw, I'm a software developer. iPhone is the best ask other developers.
