Alleged 4.7-inch iPhone 6 Rear Shell Surfaces in New Video

Japanese blog Mac Otakara published a video today that shows the purported iPhone 6 rear shell for the 4.7-inch model alongside an iPhone 5s and other iPhone 6 mockups. We have seen photos of the alleged shell, but this is the first time we've seen a video.

The shell is thinner than the iPhone 5s' and has the correct cutouts for the volume buttons, silent switch and the relocated sleep/wake button. There is a cutout for the Apple logo, which we believe is likely part of the manufacturing process; however, there's a small possibility that Apple could use the logo as a notification indicator.


The next generation iPhone 6 is rumored to launch in both 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes, however the 5.5-inch model may receive exclusive features such as optical image stabilization and 128GB of storage. The device is rumored to feature a 1704 x 960 resolution display bringing a higher pixel density, as well as an A8 processor, an improved camera, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and an all new design with rounded corners with a relocated sleep/wake button.
