The iPhone 6 body has leaked countless times over the past year in various forms, and recently actual (and apparently genuine) production cases have made their way into the public hands.
Well now we have a video with the final product from a Russian source with a penchant to rip out techs insides. The biggest surprise though is the lack of sapphire glass, something that’s has being kicking around the rumour mill pretty much since the first leak. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is apparently made from an aluminium alloy unibody, features the latest A8 processor and has the much-rumoured NFC capability, something only previously seen in android devices.
As far as the sapphire glass he does go on to say in the video that the cost isn’t worth it and to get touch screen tech working with it is very difficult to do, it is more likely tempered glass, he does remark that it feels nicer and looks clearer than previous models. But all hope is not lost as Apple is also rumoured to be releasing a larger 5.5-inch iPhone Air with premium parts which has been delayed until early 2015, so maybe this will have the glass you are looking for.
The iPhone 6 has an improved camera sensor with a lens edging that now protrudes a little out from the back of the phone itself. An issue smart phone makers are facing with the ever decreasing thickness of smartphones, as the camera lens is far harder to shrink if you want to maintain picture quality. The flash is square with true tone LED lighting for improved colour reproduction and better low light shots.
The Touch ID scanner button has also been improved. While it looks the same as the one on the iPhone 5S it’s is slightly wider and has a wider set of sensors meaning it should be able to detect fingers more easily. Expect to see the iPhone 6 launched by Apple at its event this 9 September.
