Here’s what the average consumer thinks of the alleged large iPhone 6 design (Video)

According to all of the rumors up to this point, the iPhone 6 may feature some of the biggest changes to date. The display size is rumored to be 4.7-inches and possibly feature a redesigned body style that’s very similar to the fifth generation iPod touch.

With all of these changes in mind, what does the general public think of this rumored iPhone 6 design? YouTuber UrAvgConsumer hit the streets of NYC with one of the iPhone 6 dummy units similar to the ones we’ve previously covered and asked random strangers what they thought about it. The video presents mixed opinions about the alleged design, but for the most part everyone’s initial reaction was “wow.”

A couple of notable quotes were “it looks like a Samsung phone” and “it doesn’t really look like an iPhone anymore.” Thanks to the rear antenna bands on the mockup, one person even said it reminded them of the HTC One M8. Overall, the video does a great job capturing random first impressions of the mockup.

Keep in mind, this dummy’s design is completely based on rumors and speculation, but it’s still very interesting to see what average consumers think of the drastic design change that could be coming to Apple’s iPhone 6. Check out the video below.

    I will cry a little (not really) if those antenna bands find their way into the final design.

  2. I believe the mockup would be much more believable to the average person if the antenna cutouts actually had glass over them, like the 5 and 5S.

    Massive facepalm….seriously. I bet that guy feels so cool too, HE got to introduce the next iPhone to a few people instead of Apple! Even though these mockups have the antenna design completely wrong.

    Not a fan of the bigger phone… Gee thanks Obama!

    I like the bigger screen, not a fan of the rounded edges. Apple should stick with the design of the current iPod touch, rounded back, sharp edges on the front.
