Alleged iPhone 6 Prototype Depicted in New Images

[OGDK]

Not liking the bigger screens, but it's cool that it looks like an iPod touch. Too bad they probably won't bring back the glossy back of the iPhone 4.

Pretty sure this is an iPod. Makes sense; FaceTime Audio would need a speaker/mic in the same configuration of an iPhone now... BUT, there's no window for the cellular radios (hence, probably not a phone).

Wifi can deal with the aluminum, but the cellular would need something not metal.

Wifi can't deal with aluminum. You may want to look at the back of an iPod Touch. It has a small black plastic cutout, take a guess as to why that's there.

 

[sniffies]

Notice that there's a red line on the other side of the bright area. This effect is called chromatic abberation.

More like a defect.

I actually like it because I think it's better than having a dedicated button however if Apple can put in some gestures for multitasking I'd be down.

id be fine if they would switch multitasking and control center. i need multitasking by far more often. thank god for the jb fixing this. hate pressing the home button

Everything about this screams legit. Especially the Vaseline covering the camera lens .

But it does look like the real deal. Love the thinness.

I don't see why anyone would not want a bigger screen if it can very minimally increase the physical size of the device, like these photos are depicting by reducing the bezels as much as possible.

For everyone asking where the antennas will go, I believe the antenna signals will be routed through the apple logo on the back. These photos show a similar black logo like on the iMac and iPads that are actually cut into the casing.

 

[Freida]

the back looks real and it makes sense that they will do desing "air" like but the front looks like fake. For some reason it looks a bit ugly to pass Ive's design.

Also, remember this guy how he fooled us last time?

And he uses similar style so could it be him having fun again?

 

[T-Will]

Is it just me, or does the front-facing camera appear slightly larger than the current one, at least compared to the earpiece speaker (this would be expected)?

 

[musika]

Conservative enough to be real? Seriously? Hahahah. It's hilarious what people think these could look like... What do you expect?

I mean that in a good way. I was trying to say that faked leaks are usually over the top.

Why is there a blue line across the bottom of the screen in one of the pictures?...

Really hope this is fake. If not, I hope it comes in a 4" option

That's chromatic aberration. Well, if that's a render, they've certainly gone to some lengths to make it look like a photo, complete with camera quirks. (Edit: I just noticed member mbh already mentioned this.)

Render but a nice one- why would there be light here instead of shadow http://d.pr/i/9hv

There's light coming through the headphone socket too, which makes sense since it's just an empty shell. Not sure if there should be light from the Lightening port, but we're getting into the realm of footprint shadow analysis by the fake moon landing proponents here. Overall, nothing about these images look fake to me. If they're renders, they're darn good ones.

Looks like an iPod design. Might be the next iPod.

 

[flux73]

This is SUPER early for a leak. It might lend some credence to the June release rumors. Or it's just wishful thinking on my part.

 

[osx11]

Not a fan of the slimmer top bezel, looks veeery much Samsung Galaxy like.

Eventually, ALL smartphones will essentially look the same.

They will just be super-thin screens with perhaps a few buttons.

That's what I thought but it has a sim card tray. Unless it's an LTE-enabled iPod touch...?

 

[Merkie]

Even if it is (which most likely is) an iPod Touch, the iPhone will get practically the same design with a slightly thicker design. No way the Touch gets a redesign like this and the iPhone doesn't. I'm ready to buy!

Lol. Have you seen the iPod touch lately? It features the same design as the iPad mini and iPad air, and it was available in stores even before these devices were announced.

You do realise the Iphone 5 was probably being tested when Iphone 4 was still the main Iphone just before they announced the 4S? Everybody expected a larger screen and it came one year later.

This design has probably been in the works for quite some time.

Says iphone on the back. Has the LED flash from 5S it's defo an Iphone.

 

[TOMIMOT]

iPhone Air?

Exactly. They will still have their slight differences in design, but there is only so far you can go with it, simple as that. People that have any intellect know this.

Thats a good spot, looking at one of the pictures it looks as though something is routed there from the bottom. Would gripping or covering the logo not effect the signal though?

The images are actually upsetting to me, because it is too thin. It is better if the same thickness is retained but better used for better battery life or beefier components or both.

 

[shazzam]

Look like renders.

 

[QuarterSwede]

Zero chance of an asymmetrical bezel at top vs bottom. In landscape mode, that would make the phone unbalanced both visually and holding-wise (especially while playing games or watching a movie).

Apple likes balance.

Zero chance, folks.

I would usually agree BUT:

1) The iPhone 5 leaks were said to be fake because of the two tone design and the camera not being balanced in the top glass window. People said Apple/Ive would never design that.

2) Sonny Dickson has a perfect track record. Last year he leaked ALL iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s shells, iPad Mini and iPad Air shells.

 

[Mago]

Probably a new ipod touch

Agree, ->5.5"-> iPod Touch

4.7"-> iPhone 6.

 

[parsigi]

Is it possible to simply have a plastic Apple logo, rather than a plastic band? Maybe that's how it is all metal...
