iPhone

Whether you're a fan of Apple's products or not, the coverage pertaining to the so-called 'iPhone 6' is pretty much inescapable right now, and although we've heard a great deal about the 4.7-inch model of the Cupertino's next smartphone, the more sizeable, 5.5-inch variant has been thrown out mainly as something of an afterthought. With the announcement now creeping up on us, though, we've had a few more tidbits of information just lately, and a new leak supposedly depicting the rear shell of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 offers a sense of perspective on how it may stand up against its smaller cousin.

With Apple expected to announce the iPhone 6 within a matter of weeks it's obvious that the final hardware is locked in and that the phone is currently in the same configuration as the handsets we'll be picking up at stores towards the end of September. We've seen plenty of leaks surrounding both the front and rear panels of the iPhone 6, as well as various different parts of its innards, so there's little to truly come as a surprise this time around.

As consumers, we tend to focus on the more obvious new features when assessing the improvements being made to a new device. In the case of the iPhone 6, we've mainly concentrated on the slicker, thinner form factor and larger display, but as per the sizeable pile of evidence relating to Apple's next handset, there's plenty else to look forward to besides. It has been mentioned on several occasions that the device will pack improved connectivity, with faster Wi-Fi and cellular, and a new tidbit of info may finally have offered some key details on the latter.
