    Three photos were posted to the Chinese forum recently claiming to show a mock-up of the dubbed iPhone 6 with an ultra-slim design and features that match previous claims and rumors. Chinese Apple forum Feng.com and website nowhereelse.fr has photos of a dummy model of the upcoming iPhone, similar to those that made the rounds last week. From the leaked photos, it seems as if the black plastic in the above photo is a mold meant for prototyping phone cases. No specific dimensions were stated in the leaked photos.



    The mock-up phone features rounded edges, consistent with our article from before as well. Although Apple’s mockup phone is highly questionable, it still gives us a good idea on how the iPhone 6 may possibly look. The next generation dubbed iPhone 6 is expected to launch in the third quarter and may even have two versions.

      Well it's not a prototype, it's SUPPOSEDLY (key word here) the mold for the cases. I seriously doubt Apple would suddenly switch to a plastic phone and even if they did it wouldn't be matte rubber finish like a Google phone.

      I don't so much hate the design. Honestly I rather enjoy the design. Stepping away from these ugly blocks. Only downfall is that it might be plastic from a few rumors I hear which would be crap and that the lock is on the right side instead of on top like a lock button should be.

      How far off are any of the leaks on here in the history of iPhones? Exactly. They are either right on point or they are pretty close. We either see the actual model left in bars and bus stops or we get these mockups. Same articles always have the same comments. "that looks horrible" "It looks like a phone from the past" haha. We will all buy it regardless. Its the OS we buy it for anyway. Now that it has a bigger screen, no more crying about how Android has what you do not. Could be the biggest iPhone in terms of profit to date. As it will embody what most seem to want..a larger screen.

      The ones that are close don't usually come out until like a month or two before the unveiling at the most. I'll wait until the frame/housing images are leaked, because those were 100% accurate for both iPhones and both iPads last year. Plus that's the only way to tell what it will actually look like.

      Right about that. The leaks/rumors are pretty spot on. If your not standing in line make sure your up to order early in the am again. I see this selling out fast.

      Can we move past Jobs' obsession with slim?? I'd rather have a slightly thicker case and 50% more battery life.

      Absolutely, not even a brain controlled iOS version is worth having over a jailbroken one

      It doesn't look classy. The materials look cheap. I don't think iphone will come up with that type of casing. However the ultra-slim design is really great and surely handy.
