Apple's iPhone 6, in the eyes of DeviantArt designer Fishbertus, is very much an iPhone 5-like handset - bearing the same size and built but differing in its massive screen size, which literally occupies the phone's front face.

Published by Concept Phones, the latest Apple phablet render could become the most compact big-screen smartphone - packing a 4.5-inch handset viewing window while keeping the gadget-build that Apple CEO Tim Cook insists is the optimal size for mobile phones.

Obviously, the vision behind this phone is in line with Mr Cook's assertion that rich mobile device experience should be without trade offs.

In Fishbertus' concept, the iOS 7 environment has largely adjusted to the general Android concept, giving users the ability to personalise their handsets with virtually no limits. Not only that the iPhone 6's wallpaper is given more life, it has become interactive, it is able to capture life in images with crisp resolution of up 7MP.

The power that fuels the device is the tandem of an 8-core Apple-developed CPU that taps into a rich RAM reservoir of 2GB, ensuring that iOS 7 is flexing its hulking might without running out of gas and room.

Fishbertus' iPhone 6 render comes, of course, with a very able camera mix that captures high-quality images and clips. The shooting chip, the designer said, is courtesy of one-time consumer electronics behemoth - Sony.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the render is its interface, which as mentioned is no longer restricted by Apple. As suggested in previous renders, the iconic Home button was the subject of a heavy redesign. It is now a more durable and dependable capacitive sitting at bottom centre of the handset, flanked by a host of notifications like the radio signal bar, the battery and time.

The design adheres to persistent speculations that iOS 7 will bring in a lean and mean operating system plus the bonus of relishing a gadget UI that is fully customisable.

The smallest storage configuration of the iPhone 6 is 32GB and Fishbertus hopes, like everyone else, that Apple will follow on the render that dreams of a whopping 128GB smartphone.

Apple reportedly plans to unveil the iPhone 6 by June next year but Fishbertus is open to the possibility that the large-screen smartphone's release date will come a little later, but not beyond 2014.
