No telling if this it's the real iPhone 6, but some design features are certainly plausible. February 12, 2014 10:35 PM PST Purported iPhone 6 shell: The real deal? (Credit: MacRumors) iPhone 6 photos have landed. But the usual caveats apply when the real iPhone 6 is likely still in the testing stage at Apple. First the caveat. "It is entirely unclear whether the device in the images is a legitimate iPhone 6 prototype or whether it is a fake," according to MacRumors, which obtained the photos via an anonymous Twitter user. That aside, MacRumors did a quick analysis about the size of the purported iPhone 6 shell. The conclusion: The photos show a phone that is 4.7 inches diagonally (the iPhone 5S is 4 inches) and 2.3 inches wide (the latter measurement the same as the iPhone 5S) . In line with rumors, the device in the photos also appears to be thinner. Other rumors about the iPhone 6 that have gained currency include a sapphire glass display and a bezel-free design. The 4.7-inch display in the photos comports with rumors that claim one version of the iPhone 6 will come in that size. Another larger, phablet-like device may be as large as 5.5- or 5.7-inches, according to recent speculation. (Credit: Sonny DIckson)
