Alleged pictures of iPhone 6 leaked online.

The whole tech community is waiting eagerly for the next iPhone and rumours are spreading like wildfire in the cyber world, with every new specifications leak. And at last the wait seems to be over. Two twitter users Sonny Dickson and mornray886 leaked several photos of the upcoming iPhone 6.
Sonny Dickson has had made several successful leaks on upcoming Apple gadgets in the past.

This is the second time when alleged pictures of the parts of iPhone 6 has been leaked online. The first picture leak have been discussed in detail over here, and the speculation on the specs of iPhone 6 is here.

The current set of pictures shows a extremely thin device with minimal bezel, which is in line with the speculations on the upcoming iPhone. In terms of design the the current pictures are very much similar to the iPad Air.

It is not clear whether the images are authentic or not. Several articles are pointing out to the fact that these images were based on a concept by Martin Hajek, a gifted designer whose designs had the same smudge marks. Also the use of old fonts on the iPhone logo gives them away as phony.

In the coming days, we will be seeing more of these alleged  leaks, some phony, some real, but having them analysed and gossiping over them is fun for an Apple fan boy like me, till we get hold of the real deal.

Leaked iPhone Air Frame

Images of what appears to be the first leak of the next iPhone or the iPhone Air has appeared online. The image appears to be the frame of the next generation iPhone.

The image was first seen in the Chinese site CTech and published first in the western cyberspace by 9to5 Mac. The snaps depicts a very thin frame which is in accord with the existing speculations that the handset could come in at just 6mm thick and will be named as the iPhone Air.It’s also noted that the frame in the picture appears rather longer than previous frames for iPhones, which has also added fuel to the various rumours of the upcoming iPhone phablet.

There were already speculations that the next iPhone termed as iPhone Air will be going to be more slimmer and will be having a 5.3 inch screen and this leak seems to support that claim.But it would be advisable to take this leak with a pinch of salt as although CTech has hosted some legit leaks in the past, this latest snap is rather too blurry and indistinct to judge its legitimacy.

"Apple iPhone 6 is to called iPhone Air, supposed to sport a 5-inch Screen, with thinner body : Latest rumour"

iPhone Air Concept

As per the latest reports coming out of the rumour mill the next iPhone is to be named iPhone Air, hinting a new thin body as the iPad Air. The next iPhone will only be 6mm thick, and the weight will be slightly more. The main appearance however will not differ from the current iPhone 5s.

The form Apple's next iPhone will take is one of the most discussed topics at present, but other than screen size and material rumours, there hasn't been much talk about the body thickness rumors. But the latest leaks, point to an ultra thin body form, around 6mm, which is much slimmer than the 7.6 mm thickness of iPhone 5s.

According to the reports coming out from the manufacturing chains, the next iPhone will have an appearance similar to iPhone 5s, with a 3-section back which is consistent with the previous reports.

There are also rumours which suggest that the body of the new iPhone will have a 172:67 ratio. Combining this fact with the report that iPhone 6 will be having a 5 inch touchscreen and given that it will retain its Home Button, and the appearance of the new iPhone will not drastically change, then having a body size that is similar to Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is also reasonable. If this the case, then the new iPhone will add weight due to its sheer size and full metal body.

Also as per purported leaks coming from Weibo, the biggest social networking site in China, suggests two iPhones of 4.7-inch and 5-inch screens are being tested. Additionally, the upcoming iOS devices is supposed to sport biometric features that will represent huge upgrades from the TouchID fingerprint scanner of iPhone 5s.

Whether the next iPhone will be named iPhone 6 or iPhone Air is not yet confirmed. According the latest rumour on WeChat, iPhone 5s will be priced down in May to $100, if this is the case then the new iPhone could be released concurrently and would still be priced at $199 with a 2 year contract.
