New photos have surfaced on Weibo that allegedly reveal manufacturing molds and chassis schematics for the iPhone 6.
GforGames first spotted the images. "The photos are said to come from a factory belonging to Apple manufacturing partner Foxconn, as the first set of images show very detailed drawings of the chassis for a smartphone-type device, while the second set images are said to be of the manufacturing die used for Apple’s next-generation iPhone."
Currently, it's predicted that Apple will release a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in September and then release an even larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 in time for the holidays.
We can't confirm yet that these images are authentic; however, they do appear to go into great technical detail. If you want to get an idea of what the upcoming iPhone 6 looks like, renders based on previously leaked schematics of the iPhone 6 can be found here and here.

Like what? And what makes you think it end up bad. iPhone 5 got taller but nothing bad happened, what would be bad about this?

That die is for injection moulding plastics, being that apple phones are machined from billet, I doubt the die has anything to do with apple. The drawing at the top made me giggle. Although the Samsung/android brigade will no doubt disagree, I doubt apple designs phones on the back of an envelope with a pencil.

Agreed. iPhone got a bit bigger before and still manages to stay beautifully crafted. Nothing can go wrong with the 6.

Vista is a disaster and Windows 8 is going to be the biggest (Well actually is already) the biggest flop. Better start redesigning for the every day users or it's going to be dump by millions. Hospitals are trying to determine where are they going with Windows for after 7, 8 simply sucks from all reasons.

The "Real world" you're talking about is a sh*tty world. Windows 8 is bullsh*t, no one likes it or knows how to use it and its creepy Gestures, while I can give my grandma my iPhone / Mac and she will know how to use it out-of-the-box. The Mac OS had an enormous progress in the last few years and now it's better than ever, breaking the PC sales for more than 3 years now.
