LEAKED PhOtOs -Apple's NEW iPhone 6
Is This Apple's iPhone 6? Handset 'Smuggled' From Factory is Said to be the Final Version of the Next-Generation Device
As the launch date edges ever closer, another photo claiming to reveal details of the iPhone 6 has appeared online. However, unlike previous photos, the owners of this handset said that the device is the finished model of the much-rumoured device - and it was 'smuggled' from an Apple manufacturer's factory. The design appears to fit with previous rumours of rounded edges and a larger screen, and the fingerprint scanner from the iPhone 5S also seems to make an appearance. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...37_634x288.jpg The phone (pictured) was reportedly taken from Apple manufacturer Foxconn's factory in China by an ex-employee. -It has the rounded edges seen in previous leaks, and what appears to be a fingerprint scanner Quote:
The phone's slim design and raised screen also match with previous reports. Last week, Russian designers posted photos which they claimed were the phone's casing. They show a protruding camera, for example, which was first reported on in April, recessed volume controls, which were hinted at during the start of the month, and an embedded logo. The image is a close-up shot of this camera ring, and could be used to attach additional lenses to the iPhone 6, as suggested in a patent also revealed in April. Elsewhere, the recessed volume controls on Feld and Volk’s image are similar to those seen on the leaked images of the iPad Air 2 earlier this month. It is likely that if Apple chooses to make a tweak, such as this, to one new flagship device, it will appear on both. Another image taken by Feld and Volk shows an embedded Apple logo that the designers claim is scratchproof, and made of Liquidmetal alloy. Liquidmetal is a super-strong material that can be moulded into shape. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...17_634x269.jpg The phone's slim design (pictured) and raised screen also match with previous reports. -Apple is expected to unveil the finished model at an event next month, following months of rumours http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/..._parts_jpg.jpg Last week, leaked images posted by Moscow designers Feld and Volk claimed to show the rear shell (pictured) and an embedded logo, alongside a cable -that is said to be used for the home button. The images are purported to be of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model, which is expected to launch on 9 September http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...ed_logo_jp.jpg Another image revealed an embedded Apple logo (pictured) that the designers claim is scratchproof, -and made of Liquidmetal alloy. Liquidmetal is a super-strong material that can be moulded into shape Finally, a cable seen next to the casing for the rumoured handset is believed to be for the home button. Apple is expected to launch its next-generation iPad and iPhone models at an event in September. Analysts believe Apple is working on two versions of different sizes for its iPhone 6, with one being 4.7 inches (11.9cm) diagonally - the same size as the HTC One. A larger version is also expected to be released, measuring 5.5 inches (14cm) - slightly larger than Samsung's 5.1-inch Galaxy S5. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...ed_volume_.jpg Elsewhere, the recessed volume controls on Feld and Volk’s image (pictured) are similar to those seen on the leaked images of the iPad Air 2 earlier this month. -It is likely that if Apple chooses to make a tweak, such as this, to one new flagship device, it will appear on both http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...05_636x358.jpg In April, Taiwan-based Commercial Times similarly referenced a 2mm-thick battery. The iPad Air is 20 per cent thinner than previous models, and Apple is expected to launch an equally super-thin iPhone, dubbed iPhone Air. This is expected to be the smaller of the two handsets. IPad sales slumped 9 per cent in the last quarter, according to the tech giant’s latest earnings report, amid reports demand for the technology is waning. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...a_ring_jpg.jpg Reports of a protruding camera originated in April. Feld and Volk’s image (pictured) is a close-up shot of this supposed raised ring, -and could be used to attach additional lenses to the iPhone 6, as suggested in a patent also revealed in April http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...a_ring_jpg.jpg The patent, initially filed in 2012, describes a bayonet mount system for an iPhone camera (pictured). The system is similar to that currently used on SLR cameras and lets photographers attach and remove interchangeable lenses using a twist and lock motion More... |
