iPhone 6 Concept Inspired By iPad Mini Retina Design Perfect For Apple’s Phablet [VIDEO]
The latest iPhone 6 concept image that has surfaced the Web boasts a flat metallic case and minimal bezel or edges.
The new iPhone 6 render is designed by KOBi SNiR and packed with a bigger screen display, although the exact size is not mentioned by the designer. This is done by decreasing the bezel around the screen. The device gives off a feeling of the new iPad Mini, which is apt for the phablet's design.
The camera is now placed at the center of the back of the device like the Samsung smartphones from its original place on the side of the device. The Home button is reduced to very small in size. Moreover, the buttons are also small in comparison with the massive body. The only thing that is strange in the concept is that the creator used a bright yellow casing, which is never seen on Apple's smartphone.
The concept image was created way back in August before the announcement of iPhone 5S. It caught attention due to the rumors of iPhone 6 coming next year.
This is not the first time that an iPhone 6 concept borrowed the design from its tablet brother. An iPhone render created by Designer Martin Hajek resembled the sleek and sophisticated design of the recently released iPad Air. The iPhone 6 concept shows slimmer and thinner body like the refreshed iPads. This echoed the rumor that Apple is working on a phablet that can still be held in one hand.
According to rumors, iPhone 6 will come with larger screen display with a range from 4.8 to 6 inches. Many analysts agreed with this and predicted that Apple will finally pack a bigger screen on the next iPhone. Also, the next Apple flagship smartphone may keep the iPhone 5S' 64-bit A7 processor, M7 graphics chip and the fingerprint sensor.
According to previous reports, the iPhone 6 will be released in March. However, according to the latest report from Apple, iPhone 5S sales are doing well and currently experiencing limited supply. Thus, consumers must not expect an earlier release date of the next iPhone. This is backed up by newer reports that the iPhone 6 will be released in the second half of 2014, most probably in June next year. June is the original release date of Apple's iPhone.
