News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone 6 specification

Leaked plans of the Apple iPhone 6 have appeared showing very detailed tech specs and designs of the upcoming Apple Iphone smartphone. The pictures reveal many details, mainly that the upcoming Apple iPhone 6 will come in two models, the 4.7-inch display N61 and the 5.5-inch display N56. In terms of looks, it seems like the next Apple iPhone 6 smartphones will look almost exactly like the dummy models already leaked previously and will be quite thin at about 7mm. Other measurements incude 138.14 x 66.97 x 6.9mm and 112g for the N61.

We recently reported on Apple iPhone 6 clones with 4.7-inch displays appearing several months ahead of the actual Apple iPhone 6 smartphone. Well, now you can see it in a comparison video with the Apple iPhone 5s where it reveals itself as the Wico i6. Quite obviously, the 4.7-inch screen is not a Retina Display and the operating system is not iOS. Tech specs and features for the Wico i6 include a quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, Android 4.4 KitKat and the aforementioned 4.7-inch screen with a 960 x 1704 pixel resolution. The camera has an LED flash but we doubt that the home button holds any form of Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Pricing is around $200 (RM639) to $300 (RM959) and we expect it to appear in Malaysia with third-party sellers anytime now. Be warned though, that this Wico i6 and other clones are not guaranteed to look exactly like the Apple iPhone 6 which is due in September 2014 so you may just be buying a cheap knockoff of a prototype. Check out the videos for yourself in this article.

The Apple iPhone 6 is set for a reveal in September 2014 but there are already clones released for the smartphone out in the market. Granted, this is just for the China market but the clones are using the dummy mockup shells of the Apple iPhone 6 which have appeared recently. The overall look is super thin but is running an operating system that looks very much like the current iOS (flat icons, etc.). No details about what sort of tech specs and features these clones are offering but we suspect that it could be a cheap MediaTek processor with 5MP rear camera. At least you'll have LED flash and a larger screen similar in size to a Samsung Galaxy S5, but don't expect any of the latest Apple iPhone features like a 2GHz A8 processor.

The Apple iPhone 6 has been rumoured to use sapphire crystal displays for better durability and also get a screen size increase to 4.7-inches. Apparently, the folks at MKBHD along with Sonny Dickson managed to get their hands on what appears to be this 4.7-inch sapphire crystal display for the Apple iPhone 6. They then went on to do a torture test which includes trying to scratch it with a knife, keys and bend it. All of these did nothing to the panel but do check out the videos for yourself in this article.

It is still quite a while yet before the upcoming Apple iPhone 6 gets announced, but already mockups of the smartphone have appeared. This time around, the leaker is Sonny Dickson, who was one of the first rumour mongers last year to come out with the official Apple iPhone 5S and 5C smartphone mockups. The new Apple iPhone 6 mockups come in two flavours, one with a 4.7-inch screen while the other goes for a 5.5-inch display. The side by side comparison shows that they are both very thin but follow the Apple iPad mini design with rounder corners and slimmer bezels. Check it out for yourself but there are still no details on other tech specs, features or Malaysia release dates. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

Rumours about the next Apple iPhone say that manufacturing for a 4.7-inch display Apple iPhone 6 could start as early as July 2014. A still unnamed 5.5-inch display iPhone is expected to begin mass production in August 2014 while a 4-inch iPhone is expected to continue production. The rumours come from the supply chain as usual with Foxconn Electronics expected to do most of the production. Still no news on whether the ongoing 4-inch display smartphone will be the iPhone 5C or iPhone 5S. Still no news on pricing or Malaysia release dates but with all rumours do remember to take this one with a pinch of salt.

Apple's upcoming Apple iPhone 6 still has yet to be announced but the rumours are already swirling in the rumour mill. This includes rumours that the iPhone 6 will have a 4.7-inch edge to edge screen, a home button physically integrated into the display (meaning it wouldn't be a separate button) and have an organic radical battery that has a high energy density and a recharging time of nearly 30 seconds. This battery will feature higher power, smaller size and be more environment friendly.

A roadmap stating when we might see Apple's upcoming products has appeared from KGI Research. Granted, it isn't a leaked semi-official roadmap from Apple but it does come from a source that has generally been accurate when it comes to predicting what Apple will do. The roadmap reveals that Apple may come out with a 4.7-inch Apple iPhone 6 in Q3 of 2014 while a 5.5-inch Apple iPhone will come during Q4 of 2014. Before that, the analysts go on to predict that the Apple iWatch smartwatch could be coming before the iPhone but still in Q3 of 2014. No news yet on pricing or Malaysia release dates but do remember that this is very much a rumour still, so do take it with a good pinch of salt.

The rumour mill continues on as more details about the Apple iPhone 6 crop up, this time in the form of schematics, sketches and even some renders from said sketch. The schematics in particular seem to confirm a 4.7-inch version and a 5.7-inch version, right down to the exact measurements. The 4.7-inch version will have 137 x 66 x 7mm measurements while the 5.7-inch version will go for 157 x 77 x 6.7mm. Apart from the schematics, sketches of the Apple iPhone 6 have also appeared, which designer Martin Hajek promptly turned into renders. None of the images, be it the schematics or sketches have been confirmed though so do take this with a good piece of salt. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing as well but these are still very early days so stay tuned for more updates.

You know how people predict all sorts of radical changes to the next Apple iPhone and Apple almost always deadpans them by just adding on a little bit here and a little bit there to the overall design. Well, Sam Beckett here is a designer who seems to be following that Apple spirit to the letter as he has come up with an Apple iPhone 6 or iPhone Air concept video which looks and sounds very close to how Apple would do it. Tech specs and features listed in the video include a 4.7-inch sapphire crystal display with full HD 1080p resolution, a chassis which is 7mm thin and a design that is just 8% larger than the current Apple iPhone 5S. A 10MP OIS camera is the only tech spec which seems far fetched in this case, but you can check out the video for yourself in this article.
