missmarigold 4th Gear February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 Alleged iPhone 6 Prototype Depicted in New Images A set of images depicting what could be a prototype of the next-generation iPhone were first shared with MacRumors by an anonymous Twitter user earlier today. Australian writer Sonny Dickson, who also shared some of the same images, told MacRumors that they were initially shared by someone in China who claimed the images show the "iPhone 6". It is entirely unclear whether the device in the images is a legitimate iPhone 6 prototype or whether it is a fake. Early prototypes of the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c exhibited a blank rear shell while the iPhone 6 shell in the picture clearly shows FCC text that is generally added to the phone at a later date. There are also no plastic or glass cutouts for an antenna, something the current-generation iPod Touch -- which sports a similar aluminum-bodied design -- has next to its rear-facing camera. We asked designer Federico Ciccarese to conduct some measurements based on the photos and he believes the iPhone in the images is 4.7 inches diagonally and 2.3 inches wide, the same width as the existing iPhone 5s. iPhone 5s overlayed. iPhone 5s dimensions (mm) in red. iPhone 6 dimensions in blue. iPhone 6 Dimensions: 2.3" x 5.1" with 4.7" Diagonal Screen Rumors have suggested the iPhone 6 will be manufactured in multiple sizes, with rumors pegging one phone at approximately 4.7 inches and a second between 5.5 and 5.7 inches. The screen may also be bezel-free, similar to competing phones from companies like Samsung. A report from earlier today indicated the iPhone 6 may be thinner and lighter than the existing iPhone 5s, thanks to advancements in LED backlighting technology. The device in the images is indeed thinner, taking on a curved-edge design much like the existing iPod touch, the iPad mini, and the iPad Air. The iPhone 6 may also include a sapphire glass display, which is both thin and durable. It is also believed that the iPhone 6 will be equipped with the Touch ID fingerprint authentication system first introduced with the iPhone 5s. Even if these images are fake, they give a good idea of what a larger screened iPhone 6 could look like.

Knoobie Supercharged February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 It was also rumored that iPhone 6 will not uses Sapphire glass for the entire phone but stick with Corning Gorilla due to the costs. Which I think is reasonable. If the above images came true, it will be a very nice design. also the first time Apple really make such slim phones..

ins1dious Turbocharged February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 (edited) If that's the new iPhone, I'm switching to Android [:|] There's only so much you can do with a rectangle and glass surface. The differentiating factor is the OS and the services behind it. I say use any platform that you are comfortable with. Personally, I don't even easily switch ecosystems just because of the hardware. Even hardware have to use till they die. I used an iPhone 4 for 3 years before finally buying a 5S and my wife used a 3GS for 4 years before buying a 5S Edited February 13, 2014 by ins1dious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
