iPhone

Amid the abundance of iPhone 6-related coverage, we've been unable to dispel the on-off rumor that the device's display will be laden in the tougher, albeit more expensive sapphire glass material. Not only would it be more robust, but also clearer, and with better scratch resistance than the current Gorilla Glass formula, would render the device much more rugged overall.

The iPhone 6 must go down as one of the most-leaked products in tech history, and since the manufacturing process commenced a short while ago, we've been able to get right into the guts of Apple's next big thing. Today, we get a look at what is claimed to be the device's logic board, and although the much-hyped A8 processor is obscured from view, the fact that it's almost fully assembled presents us with our first proper look at what will be one of smartphone's most crucial components.

We're merely weeks away now from the much anticipated iPhone 6 (or iPhone Air, depending on what Apple ends up calling it) launch event to be held in September, if rumors are to be believed. With the official unveiling this close, it's certain that the devices have gone through all the stages of mass production and probably nearing the completion line any time soon. What this implies for the rest of the world is that a floodgate of leaks and rumors would have opened, and indeed, we saw our fair share of that over the course of last few weeks. Today, a fresh set of leaked photos has surfaced that shows close up views of the iPhone 6 front panel, the mute toggle and the power button, the former of which indicates a tapered edge design.

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission of Thailand has just approved two previously unheard iPhone models for sale in the country. Devices A1524 and A1286 were today given the go-ahead to retail in Thailand by the nation's version of the U.S. FCC, and although it doesn't tell us anything about the devices in question, it does lead us to believe that a 4.7- and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is imminent.
