14 DAY TRIAL // A week before Apple's big event of the fall, everyone is still happy to see what the future iPhone will look like. And sure enough, the leaks are still showing up in the strangest places. The latest fully assembled, from parts, iPhone 6 came today from a Russian YouTuber – Rozetked. The phone is a space grey version of Apple's next-gen device, announced for September 9.
This HD video shows the iPhone 6 next to an iPhone 5s. You can notice the mute button is slimmer and it has been moved up a little to leave room for the volume buttons that now look similar to the iPad ones. The back iSight camera protrudes from the case in an un-Apple-like manner and it has a circular dual-LED flash right beside it. The YouTube user posting this video says the Apple logo on the back of the phone is made out of liquid metal, the scratch-resistant and corrosion resistant material Apple used in the iPhone SIM Tray remover and other parts over the years.
At some point during the video, the uploader opens the screen of the phone and you can see its parts. The only thing that is missing is the battery. Otherwise, the iPhone has the logic board with the A8 chip, cameras, the Touch ID home button and the Apple logo in place.
Apple is expected to release the new iPhone in two different models. Apple's supply chain and manufacturers’ employees have leaked parts in more than one occasion, so getting all of them and assembling your own iPhone was the next logical step for someone with inside knowledge.
The iPhone 6 will be announced in a big event scheduled for September 9 in Cupertino, California. The device features a 4.7-inch diagonal display and there will probably be a larger 5.5-inch screen model. Both devices are due to come in retail stores around the world around September 19.
Apple usually keeps the secret about their products until the devices come out of the manufacturing line. There is a small possibility that the iPhone shown in this video will not look like the final model, but the appearance is not too far from the truth. These devices cannot work as they will not be recognized by iTunes to be activated just yet. iPhone 6 will come out at the same time with iOS 8. The new operating system is not going to bring any major design changes, but rather improve upon the release of iOS 7.
