Aluminum Mold Used By Manufacturers to Make iPhone 6 Cases? [Photos]

New photos of an aluminum mold used by manufacturers to create cases for the iPhone 6 have surfaced online, reports MacRumors.

Rather than a dummy model made to resemble the iPhone 6 directly, the mold is intended to represent the general shape of the device for the purposes of creating cases to fit the device and its physical features. As a result, the mold contains holes and depressions to allow it to be attached to machines for making the cases.


Apple is expected to release the iPhone 6 in a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch model. The 4.7-inch is allegedly launching as early as August with the 5.5-inch version launching a month later.
