We're now just over one week away from the iPhone 6 event, and during the next seven or so days, we're braced for a bunch of leaks as Apple tries desperately to keep those intricate details under lock-and-key. It stands to reason that, with a 5.5-inch display, the larger of the two new iPhone sizing configurations will need a much larger battery than that of the iPhone 5s, and having previously heard that the Cupertino company will almost double-up to a 2,915mAh offering, a new sighting has corroborated this notion.

The iPhone 6 looks set to be announced by Apple next week, and it seems like every retailer and carrier is getting involved in hyping it up. O2, a major network operator in the United Kingdom, has joined in with the fanfare by posting a newspaper ad that refers to a secret, unannounced device, and although it could refer to a number of upcoming handsets, it's clear that iPhone Fever is now gripping one of the UK's foremost carriers.

Although the vast majority of our iPhone 6-related reports have revealed details of the smaller, 4.7-inch variant, the 5.5-inch model - also dubbed as the iPhone 6L or iPhone Air - has also been leaked quite frequently over the past few weeks, and now, we have what appears to be a legitimate leak of the more sizeable iPhone's rear shell. As with the lion's share of iPhone 6 tidbits, there's no way of verifying the leak's authenticity, but given that it ticks all of the boxes in terms of form factor and general plausibility, it's definitely worth checking out.

Apple's iPhone 6 is well on the way. Set to be announced at the Flint Center on Apple's Cupertino campus in just 12 days' time, we now know quite a bit about the forthcoming handset. For example, we're aware that it will pack a vastly improved (albeit still dual-core) A8 processor and Near-Field Communication (or NFC) - something that Apple has stood back and allowed Android / Windows Phone vendors to indulge in unchallenged. A new leak today offers some high-quality snaps purported to depict the iPhone 6's logic board, and therein, we get a glimpse of the new A8 SoC as well as the NFC component.
