Case Leak For iPhone 6 Confirms Thinner Design and Larger Display


The iPhone 6 is seems to be the biggest talking point at the moment. Due for release later this year, this Apple handset is causing quite a stir at the moment. More and more reports are reporting a thinner design and a larger display and a case leak seems to be confirming this at the moment. Following on from a recent influx of schematics leaks and other information relating to the iPhone 6's form factor, a new mock up of an iPhone case looks to be proving all these theories right.


Now we know that leaks aren't always an ideal way of gauging an unannounced, unconfirmed device and case leaks, which can easily be faked, are perhaps even less reliable. Today's leak is a mere graphic depicting a case, and while it does seem to corroborate several rumors, we still don't have 100% confirmation on just how accurate a representation it is of the iPhone 6.


Chinese iPhone case make Elam Enterprises is the company that is behind this particular mock up and you can view the images at NoWhereElse.fr. These images show that Apple will depart from the 4 inch Retina display first introduced with the iPhone 5 and that the power button may also change its location. KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that the power/sleep button could finally be relocated from its regular spot atop the device because the larger display would make it more difficult to reach it.


The image also gives us a glimpse at the thinner overall design, and with reports indicating that the iPhone 6 will borrow many of its aesthetics from the iPad Air, you will see it clearly in this image. The iPhone 6 looks set to offer a 4.7 inch display, with a larger model boasting a 5.5 inch panel. It has been suggested though that the larger model will be delayed due to production issues. The iPhone 6 is due for release in September and we are also expecting an iWatch device to arrive then too.


It looks like Apple fans are in for an exciting couple of months with plenty of announcements being made. What are you looking forward to most?
