Personally, it looks horrendous. They look like Android knockoffs...
Also what warranted that huge camera island??????

yeah but it's just a bit nonsensical when the camera still sticks out so much, that's what needs advanced as a whole with smartphones, time for cameras to be flush with the back like in the past

I'm super excited to see the new motherboard design and see if it works its way into the other models. The double stack motherboard hinders thermal performance and then you add a titanium or stainless chassis and it gets even worse. Going back to the iPhone 8 design might be good.

Insanely thin with insanely short battery life. (I mean, it's also insanely short on the other iPhones I can only imagine how short it will be on this one).

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple's Air phone runs off a 2,000 mah battery.

If a couple of mm's is a selling point to you, then you have more issues than you think.

"Other rumoured specs like an aluminium frame, a unibody metal design, and a cutout for MagSafe allowing for reverse wireless charging, may have just been wishful thinking since they aren't present in these dummies."
The purpose of dummy models is just to show dimensions. Wouldn't that be irrelevant for case makers?

Still cannot believe this is the design. I think its the camera protrusion on top of an island that looks bad. Maybe there isn't any protrusion. Just like how we were expecting a massive camera bump on iphone 16e from mockups but the real thing had a small bump.
