iPhone 6 Physical Mockup Allegedly Based on Real Machine Schematics SurfacesA new physical mockup claiming to be based on real iPhone 6 machine schematics from supply chain sources has surfaced on Chinese technology blog
86Digi (via
Nowhereelse.fr,
Google Translate).

The physical mockup shows the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 as a 6 mm thin device featuring rounded corners and various physical changes. In line with
other reports, the model shows the power button now located on the top right hand side of the device, rectangular volume controls on the left, and the camera and circular LED flash on the rear.
Notably, the mockup also shows two antenna breaks cut out on the device's rear, with the post noting that Apple will incorporate a three-stage aluminum design on the back of the iPhone 6. This is partially in line with a report from
Mac Otakara last week that
claimed Apple would be doing away with the glass breaks currently found on the iPhone 5s in favor of an aluminum design, although it is unsure how Apple will incorporate changes to its overall antenna layout to accommodate the new look.
The photos and video of this new mockup follow images of other physical mockups in recent days, including
another model from a case manufacturer showing the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and one showing the
larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 based on
design drawings shared by Japanese magazine
MacFan last month.
The
iPhone 6 is expected to be unveiled this fall in two different sizes of 4.7-inches and 5.5-inches. The 4.7-inch version of the device will likely ship first in the third quarter of 2014, while the 5.5-inch version is estimated to ship later this year or early next year as Apple solves issues with the phone's
display and
battery.
In addition to a larger display, both versions of the iPhone 6 are expected to include a thinner profile, a faster
A8 processor, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and an improved camera that may feature
optical image stabilization or
electronic image stabilization. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek also
claimed in a research note earlier this month that Apple is negotiating for a $100 price increase on the iPhone 6.
