iPhone 6 Leak Offers Best Look Yet At Upcoming Smartphone
The iPhone 6 is not official, but if the latest leaks are accurate, the best look yet at the device may already be available for your viewing pleasure, Forbes reports.
The rumored sixth-generation Apple smartphone is shown fully assembled in a new leak from Apple products customizer Feld & Volk, who combined various recent leaks to give the full picture we've been waiting for. The device appears to feature the curved edges similar to the latest iPads, even opting for iPad-like volume buttons and redesigned speakers.

Taiwan's Manager Online reports that Takorn Tantasith, Secretary General of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) announced that his agency has approved two new iPhone 6 models for distribution in the country. The devices were approved on Aug. 8 along with the model numbers A1586 and A1524.
As BGR notes, this is the "best proof yet" the iPhone 6 models will release later this fall:
"Apparently, Apple requested that the documents remain secret, but government regulations require that the information be made available to the public. Unfortunately, any details regarding the specifications of the two iPhone 6 models or the quantity of units being shipped to Thailand were kept under wraps, but we have to assume that the A1586 and A1524 are the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch devices we've read so much about over the past few months."
Specs rumors for the iPhone 6 include an Apple A8 processor, Near Field Communication (NFC) for mobile payments, a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, better screen resolution and an improved camera. The same color options offered in the iPhone 5S (Silver, Gold and Space Gray) have also been tipped in a recent alleged leak.
