Images of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6’s front panel have been leaked

Another day, another iPhone 6 rumor. Today we are treated to pictures of a purportedly leaked 4.7-inch iPhone 6 front panel. One immediately notices the significantly larger display, something which many iPhone fan might welcome. There are subtle differences as well which hint that Apple may have shuffled around the internal components a bit. However the front panel gives off an undeniably iPhone look. Since the leak comes from an unofficial source one can never be too sure about its authenticity. In this particular leaked panel the cutout for the front camera is placed on the left side of the speaker as opposed to the top. Moreover the edges of the front panel appear to be slightly curved towards the end.

Apple is expected to again increase the screen size of its smartphones this year with the iPhone 6, which will be available in two flavors including a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch version – comparatively, Apple’s current iPhone models have 4-inch displays, while the older iPhone 4S was the last model to feature a 3.5-inch screen. Thus, the screen of the iPhone 6 will be the main new feature iPhone fans will receive, putting the handset on par with Android and Windows Phone handsets. A new series of leaked images obtained by Nowhereelse show the front panel of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model, which will cover the display of the handset. Several design elements can be easily identified, including the home button placement, as well as the speaker, sensors and front-facing camera openings. The camera is of particular interest, as it’s located on the left side of the speaker, rather than on top of it. Also, interesting are the edges of the glass front panel, which appear to be curved. The new images seem to corroborate the stories told by previous reports that featured leaked images showing the front panel of the iPhone 6. As has been the case in the past, seeing the same component leak from multiple sources is likely a very good indication that the glass screen we’re seeing here is authentic.
