Some savvy entrepreneurs at the Spring 2014 Hong Kong Electronics fair has started to show off alleged iPhone 6 metal mockups and cases on display at its booth, reports Japanese site Macotakara. The site attended the fair and has posted some images and a video of what was on hand.
Below we see a booth with a banner that reads “iPhone 6 Coming Soon”:

The backside here shows a circular-shaped flash as cited in supposed leaked schematics, unlike the current pill-shaped True Tone flash found on the iPhone 5s. Earlier rumours hinted the next iPhone camera may include image stabilization:

Can’t we all picture Jony Ive’s nauseating monologue during the promotional video that’s sure to come, (set in front of a white back drop of course)? I’ll take a stab at it:
“It’s not just a larger screen, it’s the evolution of a product and the simplicity within the new space. With the iphone 6 we’re taking elements that were painstakingly chosen and letting them breathe in regions which were previously inaccessible to the user. It’s one thing to offer additional pixels, but a complete other to intelligently make use of them. The iphone 6 does just that.”
I guarantee it’ll be something ridiculous like that.
haha perfect!
