On a daily basis, we are either treated to a batch of photos pertaining to the rear shell of the device itself, or an occasional part leak that leaves us scratching our heads.

Apple’s next big smartphone release, known as the iPhone 6 in the interwebs, is set to embrace sapphire glass for its front panel, if countless reports are to be believed.
