Apple’s iPhone 6 will have 4.7inch screen, leaked photo shows
More pictures of Apple’s iPhone 6 have been revealed, showing the handset side by side with the current iPhone.
The leak came from former Taiwanese pop star Jimmy Lin who also leaked the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini ahead of their releases.
They appear to confirm the handset will has a larger 4.7inch screen, and that Apple has moved the power button to allow the handset to be operated easily with one hand.
According to Lin, the iPhone 6 comes with a 4.7-inch display, more rounded than the previous models.
He described the device as being ‘very grippy’ in the hand.
The device also has a headphone socket - despite recent rumours Apple could abandon a dedicated socket and instead use the lightning connector currently used for charging.
The leaks are the latest to hit Apple, all showing an identical, slimline design.
However, Apple has not commented on the pictures.
New shots of the rumoured iPhone 6 have been revealed ahead of an expected launch in August or September this year.
Other recent images, republished by nowhereelse.fr, are similar to ones leaked before and lend credibility to claims this is what the next device will look like.
The latest photos show that the tentatively named iPhone 6 will be made from metal, and will also be much thinner than Apple’s current range of devices.
Rumours suggest Apple is working on two versions of different sizes, with one being 4.7 inches (11.9cm) diagonally, the same size as the HTC One.
A larger version is also expected to be released, measuring 5.5 inches (14cm) - slightly larger than Samsung’s 5.1-inch Galaxy S5.
In the images some changes to button placement can also be seen.
The power button, usually found on the top of iPhones for example, appears to be located on the side of the device.
The volume and lock buttons, however, will seemingly remain where they are.
Up until August last year, Huawei was the record-holder for the thinnest phone in the world with its Ascend P6, at 0.24 inches (6.18 millimetres).
