Apple's iPhone 6 release date is said to represent the tech giant's radical jump to uncompromising device engineering and software technology. As such, the latest render of the rumoured phablet further plays up to the hype.

Coming from ConceptsiPhone, this 4.5-inch iPhone 6 shatters existing convention while keeping a great deal of realism. The front face, the back portion and the four sides all make up the familiar iPhone profile that is clean, pretty and slim, its thickness only reaching 7.6mm.

The materials fused in making the gadget are the usual suspects - aluminium painted in shiny black (or glistening white) that protects the back, the same metallic alloy that circles the handset border and a likely Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen that adds up to the phone's sleek but tough build.

The main difference, however, from previous renders is the extended edge-to-edge screen design that slightly spills over both to the left and right sides - the designer obviously pushing the engineering prowess of Apple to the limit.

This phone screen that completely discourages the presence of bezels beams magically with a 1296 x 754 resolution, close enough to the 1.5 million pixels that Retina+ or Retina HD will deliver in future iPhone iterations.

More importantly, the iPhone 6 screen in this take is abiding by Mr Cook's insistence that the iPhone design model should reflect a full smartphone experience that eliminates any forms of compromise - both in the hardware and software sphere.

Most of the specs are somewhat a stretch by 2013 standard such as the 256GB of internal memory and a camera sensor that is quite advance even for next year's line up of powerful gadgets.

The rest, however, borders on realism - an A7 processing chip and the lean but mean iOS 7 mobile platform that could add up new exciting features such as button-less controls, fingerprint sensor for better security and wireless payment capability.

Yet the most innovative tweak involves the Home button. It stays but it becomes a capacitive key and more. Taps and swipes allow access to apps and navigation through the maze of functions that the iPhone 6 offers.

Apple fans will get a taste of these envisioned iPhone 6 look and features next year, its release date tentatively set for June 2014.
