Finally, An iPhone 6 Rumor That Confirms That Jony Ive Is Not Losing It

Ever since the iPhone 6 “dummies” surfaced I have been an unsatisfied watcher. Sources tell me that some of these dummies have actually been supplied to case makers by Apple itself, in violation of its past practices (and perhaps common sense?). My colleague Gordon Kelly wrote last week that Apple “has given out dummy units and they are popping up everywhere.” One particular detail of these maquettes has struck me as off, and yet few commentators have called it out as odd. Finally, yesterday, Japanese tech blog Nikkei seems to have substantiated what I have been thinking.
