The first working 4.7-inch iPhone 6 has reportedly leaked.
In the video below, Weibo user “zzray” shows what is claimed to be an official, functional, and activated Apple iPhone 6.
Lest anyone discount the veracity of the video out of hand, note the Home Screen icon layout and, most notably, the Passbook icon shown in the video. “The home screen reveal[s] a different icon for Passbook, adding a fourth horizontal stripe to the current stripes showing an airplane, a movie camera, and a coffee cup,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors. “This new red stripe appears to include an image of a credit card, likely indicating support for mobile payments through Passbook.”
