NEW DELHI: Two photos of the upcoming iPhone 6's front panel have leaked online, suggesting that the design will remain same even as screen size increases in the next iPhone model.
The images have been posted on Chinese microblogging website Weibo by two different users and are said to be taken at one of Apple's contract manufacturers in China. Both photos show the front panel of the rumoured 4.7-inch iPhone 6, compared with the older iPhone 5, which has a 4-inch screen. The Home button also appears to be slightly bigger in the next-generation iPhone, as per the photos.
The difference between the screen sizes of iPhone 6 and iPhone 5 as well as 5S is apparent. In fact, just the screen panel of iPhone 6 in the leaked photos is nearly as big as the whole body of the current iPhones.
Apple is also expected to launch a 5.5-inch iPhone this year, but it is likely to be unveiled by the end of fourth quarter. On the other hand, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model is expected to be showcased in September this year.
The smartphones are likely to run on iOS 8, the next version of Apple's mobile operating system. Expected to be announced at Worldwide Developer Conference 2014 in June this year, the next iOS version is expected to focus on health and fitness.
A leaked screenshot of iOS 8, also posted on Weibo, shows that the upgrade will bring new apps like Healthbook, CarPlay and Watch Utility to Apple gadgets. The leaked screenshot also suggests that iTunes Radio, the music streaming service launched last year, may become a standalone app with iOS 8; at present iTunes Radio is part of Music app.
In order to utilize the bigger screens of upcoming iPhones, iOS 8 will show a total of seven rows of apps in iPhone 6. In iPhone 4 and 4S, only five rows of apps is present, while six rows of apps appear in iPhone 5, 5C and 5S.
iPhone 6 is said to have a 64-bit A8 processor, 1GB RAM, LTPS LCD display panels, optical image stabilization, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, metal casings and NFC. The upcoming iPhones are expected to be 6.5-7mm thick and have 10-20% narrower bezels around the screen. Only the 64GB version of the 5.5-inch iPhone will have sapphire glass, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
