iPhone 6 image leak points towards super slim design

iPhone 6 image leak points towards super slim design
How thin can you go?

While people are still flocking to buy the iPhone 5S, Apple is surely already hard at work on the iPhone 6 and it may be taking a shrink ray to the components.

The first photographic evidence of that may have emerged in the form of two blurry pictures of what appears to be a very slim metal smartphone frame.

There's precisely zero proof that these photos are of an iPhone, beyond the fact that Apple leaker C-Tech claims they are, so take it with a huge pinch of salt for now.

Slim pickings

On the other hand it wouldn't be that surprising if they were legitimate. Apple has already slimmed down the iPad for the iPad Air, so it's not unreasonable to think that the Cupertino company might have similar plans for the next iPhone - maybe it'll even call it the iPhone Air.

The size seems about right too, as while it looks bigger than the 4-inch iPhone 5S, other recent reports suggest that Apple is working on 4.7-inch to 5.5-inch handsets.

That's all we have to go on so far, but if Apple really is working on bigger, slimmer handsets then that's a pretty huge change in itself. Anything else will just be the icing on the cake.
