Feld & Volk have shared new high resolution images of the iPhone 6 that reveal a tapered front panel, power button, and mute switch, reports MacRumors.

One photo shows the inside of the front panel and display assembly, with some of the components near the top pulled apart to give a good look at how the digitizer/LCD flex cables and earpiece come together with room for the front camera and proximity/ambient light sensors all packed into one small area of the device. Several other photos also highlight how the edges of the front panel taper. Those tapered edges should sit essentially flush with the edges of the rounded rear shell, providing for a sleek, nearly seamless look and feel for the iPhone 6.

There are also close up photos of the power button and mute switch. Feld & Volk say the volume buttons will be of similar design. Notably, the mute switch appears to function slightly different then previous generations pivoting on a pair of internal pins.

Finally, the company also showed off a photo of the SIM card tray which also has the silver metal finish.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 6 on September 9th. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
