“Chinese site CTech has posted apparently genuine shots of a metal Apple iPhone 6 casing to Weibo, and it looks ridiculously thin,” Esat Dedezade reports for Stuff Magazine.
“Despite the blurry photos, it’s easy to notice the larger, wider size, which supports rumours of the iPhone 6’s larger display,” Dedezade reports. “Previous rumours have suggested an iPhone 6 screen size between 4.7-5.5 inches, with a higher 2,2772×1,280 [sic] resolution to allow existing apps to be scaled up easily.”

“While such a device is due out later this year, the photos appear to be incredible sketchy in nature,” Mark Gurman reports for 9to5Mac. “They are also completely unverified by us. The frames also look particularly thin, but in the age of the iPad Air, maybe there is some truth behind the blur.”

MacDailyNews Take: Liquidmetal?
Say bye bye to shamesuck
Samsung will still have their customers – Apple haters and those with limted $ – Users that really prefer Android to iOS are not targeted here.
if it only boils down to having a bigger screen…
i agree with your statement… i have heard many say, “If Apple made a bigger screen… i would go back to the iPhone.”
There is still a need for one hand operation for some, but for others the option to have a phablet is important to them.
Apple is not playing catch up… they are just adding another market.
Though it is not iPhone 6, it might be separate, parallel model.
Not one of my friends can tell me what brand their phone is. Rule one! Nobody cares!
Please let this thing be usable with one hand!
By 7 foot NBA players, yes. By the average human, no. Look at the hand holding the frame. There is no way that thumb will reach across that width.
I can use a galaxy s4 and nexus 5 one handed.
Both have a 5″ screen.
Unless you are petite with creepy baby hands, it’s not hard to do.
Maybe they’ll still keep the iphone 5 chasis and jus upgrade the display/innards.
Maybe this pic is not the 6 but the rumoured phablet from apple.
Why? Too hard to put down your beer can?
Why is MDN even reporting on this? Both MacRumors and 9to5Mac are calling this fake.
Two words: hits and ads.
I’m surprised it did read: “reportedly leaked by Obama administration”
cause they’re wrong. its not fake!
Wow! When a rumor site (MacRumors) calls a story fake it must be fake. What information do they have to support their claim it’s fake? My guess is it’s no more substantiated than the rumor itself. Time will tell.
It actually wouldn’t surprise me if this it a true Apple piece but not every piece comes to market. Maybe the design was provided to a supplier to test their security.
Even if this is an Apple experimental casing, I’m not very happy about it.
The phones are thin enough already. I want a bigger battery for longer life, and a better camera. Both of those would be much easier in a bigger case. My iPhone 5 is light enough. We don’t need to cut more weight off. Even though a bigger phone will weigh more, that’s fine.
OK. Right you are. We’ll get right down to making the changes.
its a real part for something. No way to tell if it’s for Apple. If it is for Apple, it means it will not be a uni-body frame like the iPhone 5
Introducing the iPhone T1000. Designed by senior engineer Miles Dyson at Skynet.
Breaking News: Miles Dyson, former senior engineer at Skynet, has joined Apple according to his LinkedIn page.
“2,2772×1,280” probably means 2,272×1,280, since screen sizes seem to be divisible by 8.
As usual, what happened to doubling-down on security?
You can only really judge security when a rumor is proved to be true.
That’s true; good call.
Right. Like that couldn’t be any Samsung phone.
There’s no way of knowing what this thing is.
Looks awfully big.
don’t worry about size, my sources informed me that apple devised a method to fold the 6 inch iphone in half
Wow!!!!!!!!!
Iniziamo a mettere i soldi da parte�
How the hell can this fit my jeans pocket or suit breast pocket?
Speak for yourself, hon. Depends how big they are. Pockets, I mean.
MC Hammer Pants are of the past. Thank Goodness!
This must be real due to the blurriness of the photos. It’s pretty difficult to sneak in a camera large enough to take photos that aren’t blurry.
What is it with these horrible pictures.
2nd: It must be fake there are holes in it!
