What's New?

According to the leaked dummy images, the upcoming iPhone 6 will have a new design when compared to its predecessors. The handset is quite broader and relatively thinner in size. The images also show a comparison between Samsung Galaxy S5 and the leaked iPhone 6 dummy. iPhone 6 dummy looks a tad shorter than Galaxy 5 owing to the 4.7-inches display.

The images show a home button similar to that of iPhone 5S. Also, the power button is located peculiarly on the right side and not on top side of the smartphone. The dummy phone showcases the curved bezel, which is a change from the more angular curves seen in iPhone 5S.

The mute and volume buttons are on the left side of the phone, according to GSMarena. The camera unit at the rear end houses a round flash which does not look like a dual-LED flash. Also, there is a microphone.

Release Date

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted Apple's iPhone 6 will come with a larger 4.7-inch display, an upgraded processor, NFC and a thinner design. According to Kuo, the phone will launch in the third quarter of this year probably September 2014. The much bigger iPhone phablet with 5.5-inch display will debut in the fourth quarter of this year.
