iPhone 6 front panel image leaked

Internet rumour mill is once again buzzing with leaks about Apple's next-generation iPhone.

A Chinese forum has leaked a couple of images of what it claims is the front panel of the upcoming iPhone 6. The images show that the upcoming model will have an edge-to-edge screen that is bigger in size than that of iPhone 5S, 5C and 5, with no bezels at all on the sides. The alleged images of the next-generation iPhone also show the Home button positioned closer to the display.

It has been reported several times in the past that Apple will unveil two iPhones this year, one with a 4.7-inch screen and other with 5.5- or 5.7-inch display. The front panel pictured in the leaked image seems to be of the 4.7-inch iPhone.

In February this year, the first set of leaked iPhone images surfaced on the internet. These images showed that the next-generation iPhone will sport a design similar to that of iPad Air and be much thinner than the iPhone 5S.

This will be the first time that the company will venture into the phablet territory, which is dominated by arch rival Samsung. Other rumoured features of the next-generation iPhone include health-centred apps, 13MP camera, solar charging, scratch-resistant sapphire screen and faster Wi-Fi.

Apple is also expected to broaden the functions to the Touch ID fingerprint sensor with the next iPhone.
