Apple

For a while now, it has been suggested that Apple will strengthen the front panel of the upcoming iPhone 6 with sapphire glass, but while there have been conflicting reports indicating that only some variants of the impending handset would indulge, one analyst has come through with something a little more clarifying. Apparently, every single model of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6L will be laden in the clearer, more robust sapphire glass material, while only a portion of the 4.7-inch inventory will follow suit.

With the iPhone 6 now said to be less than two weeks from announcement, leaks pertaining to the device are aplenty, and today, we get an up-close look at several key components including the embedded Apple logo, improved speaker module and revised Touch ID fingerprint sensor. All of the image are of very high quality, and below, you can check them out.

Apple looks poised to break several long-standing habits when it unleashes the iPhone 6 at some point in the next few weeks, and among them, the Cupertino company will apparently roll out near-field communication, or NFC. Although numerous Android vendors have offered this little piece of hardware for a good couple of generations now, Apple may finally indulge in a feature that enables, for example, the processing of mobile payments. Yet while some reports have indicated that only the larger, 5.5-inch iPhone will get NFC, a new report instead suggests that both models of iPhone 6 will be treated to this technology.

A Chinese smartphone repair firm has leaked what appears to be the two new True Tone flash units that Apple will use on both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 models.

I’ll give you a hint before getting to the actual topic - it’s about the upcoming iPhone 6. Well, you guessed it correctly; it’s another leak related to the new device. This one reveals the iPhone 6’s speaker assembly, and shows how different or similar it is to the current flagship, iPhone 5s.
