Video posted of iPhone 6 mockup consistent with earlier photos

French site Nowhereelse, which posted photos of a claimed dummy mold of the iPhone 6 a couple of days ago, has now posted new photos and a video of a similar physical mockup said to come from supply-chain sources.

It’s important to note that while this is consistent with earlier claimed leaks, it is often the case that different people copy earlier drawings and photos to create their own versions, so consistency in and of itself isn’t conclusive. We have, though, now seen photosschematics, renderscases and physical mockups which all appear to show a significantly thinner iPod Touch-like design, with curved edges, slimmer volume buttons and a repositioned power switch.

If this is indeed what we can expect from the new iPhone, the majority of 9to5Mac readers who took part in our poll appear to approve, with 73 percent voting in favor of the design.

  1. That looks thicker there. But none the less I’m very happy with this. Looking at it like that reminds me of the 5C. It’s a big aluminium 5C.

    Can’t wait for mine.

      Yes, reminds me of the 5c as well.. I have to wonder if they have this wrong and this is the 5c replacement

      • Ben Lovejoy - 10 years ago

        That’s certainly possible, but I think it’s just the materials used for the mockups that makes it look like the 5c

    • Cameron Graham (@Scenick) - 10 years ago

      I think forget the 5c, they’re trying to make a thinner version of the original iPhone. rounded aluminium back?

  2. It’s hard to tell but it looks like the single hole by the camera is now elongated to allow for dual flash.

    • Peter Peirce - 10 years ago

      It stills looks circular to me. Perhaps they’ll add the dual flash as a sort of “halo,” with a central flash as one color and the second flash forming a ring around the first.

    My mind xplod. My thumb can no longer go from “here to here” without me adjusting the grip on phone. Mind. Xplod.

  4. Apple please dont do this shit, make the device little wider.

    Why to change power button position…. I hate buttons placed opposite there’s always problem to not push power and volume button together….. Thats the only concern…
