iPhone 6 Rumor Image

The beginning of a new week always seems to see the release of a few concepts and idea regarding future iOS devices and this week is no exception.  3-D artist, Martin Hajek, has given us his iPhone 6 concept.  His design has a 4.6” display with an  edge-to-edge screen but it retains the standard Apple aluminum body with a  black and silver backing – a bit of a mash-up between the back of the iPad and the dual color of the iPhone 5. 

There’s no home button in evidence and it has much slimmer bezels than the current iPhone offerings.  Many concepts have removed the home button – partly because it gives more room for a bigger screen and partly because people want to see fingerprint technology brought into play. Apple acquired sensor developers Authentic last year for a cool $356 million and many believe that this technology will eventually make its way into future Apple products.

The 4.6” screen is not a new concept; many want to see a larger display area and, indeed, rumor has it we may well be seeing it sooner than we think.  However, despite the oversize screen, thee iPhone  would still be classed as a smartphone, not a phablet.

Take a look at these photos to see how a 4.6” screen measures up against the 4” iPhone 5, and how a 4” iPhone 6 would look.
