“YouTuber iCrackUriDevice has published a video featuring what could be the rear housing for Apple’s upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone 6,” Dom Esposito reports for 9to5Mac. “”
“This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this part appear on video, but this is definitely the best quality video so far,” Esposito reports. “The video below showcases the design of the housing and compares it to last year’s gold iPhone 5s housing.”
Esposito reports, “It’s also noted that the alleged iPhone 6 housing appears to have a recessed area on the inside which could indicate that Apple has plans to use a logo inlay as we’ve seen with its current generation iPad models.”

This guy makes stupid comment of flash in the new enclosure. It is much bigger than previous one-LED flash, so, of course, it can contain two LEDs. No “step back” here at all.
The guy doesn’t need to breathe for almost a full 6 min…
I don’t get the wide white strips at all. Can someone explain them?
Metal is bad for signal pass-thru. The white is plastic creating a window for signals.
Is it that in the 5s the signal is going through the glass and the white is just some kind of insulator, but in this case it’s expected that the antennae will follow directly under the white plastic and send all its signals through that space?
Some radio signals can’t go through metal. I believe GPS is one of them. This is why they had a plastic strip on the back of the iPhone 1. Also the iPads with cell and GPS have a plastic or glass strip on the back. The plastic and glass backs on the rest of the iPhones have negated the need for the strip.
I thought the frame around the edges was the antenna… So doesn’t that negate the need to have a radio transparent body?
They can’t fit all on the side. WiFi, GPS, BlueTooth, LTE, GSM, CMDA. I remember something about GPS and it’s size, it is also the one of the two things a cell iPad does not have. however I could be wrong on that.
Sorry. GPS is one of the two things a cell iPad has that regular iPads do not. I could be wrong about GPS being the need for the glass/plastic strip. If so I would like to know what it is.
Those white plastic strips doesn’t good look. They should used glas as in the iphone 5s
I mean DON’T LOOK good 😉
It’s a bit premature to criticize a phone by it’s parts. Wait for the product announcement before going off on this or that bit.
