Apple didn't even release their phone, but a few Android functional clones are out

Can't wait to get your hands on an iPhone 6? You can actually do that now, but it will only be an Android Clone. Four videos detailing some of the knock-offs have showed up online. 

 
A Chinese blog had some hands-on time with the iPhone 6 clones. The first video compares the Android running clone with a real iPhone 5s. No surprise here: the model looks exactly like all the clones we have seen online so far. The device has a 4.7-inch diagonal display, the home button has been moved to the right side. The clone makers even put an Apple logo and the "iPhone" name on the back of the device. 
 
The lag of the phone is obvious when the screen is turned on. Whoever made this phone did not care too much about the Settings menu or the information in the "About" screen. The Settings.app is missing some of the menus the real iOS has. When you go to General – About, you will notice that the device runs on 7.0 firmware and it has 32GB of total space. 
 
The company that cloned the iPhone 6 made sure to include features like multi-tasking, Notifications Center and Control Center. The Phone.app interface is similar to the one in iOS 7.0
 
The second video goes over some details of this clone. You can even see the inscriptions on the back of the clone, including a fake IMEI number. However, you can tell this is a clone because the Apple logo and the back camera protrude from the casing. 
 
The display of the device follows the latest leaks that show beautiful rounded edges. The phone named "wico i6" has working apps that borrow the look and feel of the iOS 7 ones. There's no telling if the Home button has a working Touch ID around it.
 
The third and the fourth videos show a different clone – one that has no Apple inscriptions on the back, and no buttons either. The device won't power up so the user just shows some casing details to the camera. 
 
Apple is expected to release the new iPhone around September 25, 2014, but so far we have seen a few good leaks showcasing the alleged sapphire display, the back casing and the home button and Touch ID of the future device.
