iPhone 6 / iPhone 5: prototype photos leak online







Unearthed by GSM Arena, the images show a handset that ditches the hitherto reassuringly ever-present physical home button in favour of an edge-to-edge screen.

Apple’s design also features gently curved, tapering edges that give it a look not unlike the old iPod nano and chimes with a patent filing for a similar-looking handset for which the company was granted approval last week.

Either way, the signs are that we’ll find out soon enough. The much-rumoured low-cost iPhone is expected to go into production this quarter ahead of a mooted street date in June with the higher-end edition set to land in the summer.
