Apple iPhone 6 Release Date, Specs, News, and Rumors: Leaked Photos Show iPad Air and iPod Touch Influence [PICS]
Concept photos of Apple's next smartphone, presumably called the iPhone 6, have been everywhere. Recently, however, new photos were leaked claiming to be pictures of the actual iPhone 6.
Earlier this week, an anonymous Twitter user named mornray886 uploaded pictures of what he claims to be the iPhone 6 to his account. The pictures gained more publicity and possibly credibility when Sonny Dickson, an Australian writer, shared the same pictures.
According to Mac World, Dickson has a history of accurately leaking photos of Apple's upcoming iPhones. The website says he "published many genuine leaked images of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c last year..."
Dickson uploaded the pictures to both his Twitter page and his personal website, but he still does not guarantee that everything about the photos is legitimate.
"As some rumors suggest, the screen will in fact be bigger," Dickson wrote. "The design will be like a cross between the current iPad Air and the iPod Touch. As shown in the pictures below, it will be definitely thinner than the current iPhone 5S. I'm not 100% sure this is the real back housing, but I'll be updating it as I get more information regarding it."
According to calculations performed by designer Federico Ciccarese, the iPhone in the pictures measure 4.7-inches diagonally and 2.3-inches wide, making it the same width as the iPhone 5s.
This week, it was reported that the iPhone 6 will have a "bezel-free" display. This would make the iPhone 6 slimmer and perhaps more capable of having the larger display screen that most rumors say are in the works. According to sources, Apple will release two different versions of the iPhone 6. Some say one model with have a 4.7-inch or 4.8-inch screen. The second model is rumored to be considered a "phablet," or a tablet and phone combination, because of its larger 5.5-inch screen.
New rumors also claim that Sony is working with Apple to enhance the iPhone's front camera sensor. MacRumors, however, says that Sony's enhanced front camera sensors will not likely appear in the iPhone 6, but rather in a subsequent phone.
