Here’s your daily iPhone 6 mockup, in silver this time

4e2a2ad7912397dd70cde5875b82b2b7d1a2878b

Here’s your daily dose of iPhone 6 mockups. This time, images of a white/silver iPhone 6 dummy have been posted on Chinese website Baidu. The images don’t reveal anything exciting or new, but they may give you a better idea of what could be coming later this year.

It’s been rumored that the iPhone 6 will borrow design characteristics from Apple’s fifth generation iPod touch, but regardless of how many photos, mockups, or schematics we’ve seen, there’s no way to verify the design accuracy of these images. It’s very possible that case manufactures are playing a game of telephone with rumored schematics and designing their own models to get ahead of the game.

While these images are consistent with previous rumors and mockups, it’s best to take this kind of stuff with a grain of salt. Don’t worry though, all will be unveiled later this year when Apple officially announces the iPhone 6.

  1. Awesome Dom! Looking foraward to the Iphone 6!

  2. Not a big fan of the new rounded look, was going to get rid of the android for the iPhone 6 but I’m having second thoughts now. Love the iPhone 5s look, wish they suck with the blockier look.

    • weakguy - 10 years ago

      Cannot agree more. I absolutely love the 5s design, but I really want a larger display. So far the leaks tell me iPhone 6 is not as elegant looking as 4 and 5. Hopefully Apple will prove me wrong once they actually release the phone.

    • Chris Ko Hoffman - 10 years ago

      Rounded is so 2007. I thought we were done with that when the 2G/3G/3GS had their run. I loved the rigidity of the 4-5 and I hope they stick with it. Subtle roundness is okay, but this is a bit too much for my taste; needless to say… I’m still going to get it because it’ll perform well.

      But I’m most bothered by the back…That thick plastic divider between the top and bottom halves of the phone seems so cheap and not thought through… I expect Apple to have a more “seamless” design aesthetic, no pun intended ;). These are just mocks so I’ll just take it as that and keep my fingers crossed.

    • rafalb177 - 10 years ago

      Calm down, guys. It’s all just mockups. The actual phone is likely to look completely different. ;-)

      • Chris Ko Hoffman - 10 years ago

        That’s what I said in the last part of my comment haha. But… the iPhone 5 leaks, similar to the presentation of these, actually ended up looking damn near exactly what the phone looked like when released.

  3. Looks like a possible iPhone 6C, I mean that design it’s poor for the next flagship of Apple it’s look like a iPod Touch.

  4. where’s the dual LED flash?

    • Rodolfo Ferreira (@djmc7) - 10 years ago

      People keep asking that shit and it’s been said that Apple most likely will cut costs and use a single LED that can emit different color temperatures, thus not needing two LEDs.

      • … Or just put 2 LEDs in a round enclosure…

      • borntofeel - 10 years ago

        Multicolor LED? I’m not sure that exists.

      • LED flash are NOT multicolor guys. If there is only one hole and Apple is using LED technology for the next phone, then they’re gonna come back to the one color flash. Sad but true. The rounded edges are horrible btw

      • Mark Choi - 10 years ago

        Uh, there most certainly is multicolor LED flash, it is made by Philips, and Apple has already inked a deal with them to use it. Old news.

      • Rodolfo Ferreira (@djmc7) - 10 years ago

        Thanks for the backup, Mr. Choi.

        I gotta say I am already digging this design, and would be pretty damn happy if these mockups are as accurate as the past ones. Remember when the 5C shells came out and people were going crazy? “Apple wouldn’t make a plastic phone!” Man were they wrong.

        Their other products are pretty consistent. The MacBook Pro looks like the MacBook Air, and the iMac fits the design language of both. With this design, the iOS devices will share the same language.

    fake
    no edge to edge display
    it hasnt lost the bezels

    • MaRico NoHands Spikes - 10 years ago

      It clearly says mock up in the first sentence, & headline & in the forth sentence & the first sentence of the second paragraph. Geez.
      People always wanna discredit someone , smdh

    • Mr. Grey (@mister_grey) - 10 years ago

      You think it’s “fake” because it’s missing the edge to edge display that we have seen …
      … on all the fakes.

      Funny stuff.

    • Tallest Skil - 10 years ago

      1. Your suggestion is stupid.
      2. IT’S A MOCKUP, GENIUS.

      • jorge1170x - 10 years ago

        It’s a mockup of the real phone…get used to it…the secret is out in China and now everywhere.

      • Tallest Skil - 10 years ago

        >>It’s a mockup of the real phone

        Thanks for all the proof!

        >>get used to it

        I have never said anything about it whatsoever.

  6. Dmitry Goncharenko - 10 years ago

    is it just me, or the back looks a lot like m7, m8 htc one? (except the flash position)

  7. irelandjnr - 10 years ago

    Is it just me or do these mockups look more like 7.5 mm than 6 mm ?

  8. FAME - 10 years ago

    These mock-ups are just sad. So sad. Though, the iPhone air concept video on Youtube is very sexy.

  9. Mr. Grey (@mister_grey) - 10 years ago

    The one thing about the new design that I’m still not feeling is the little radio transparent “windows.” This mock-up shows them as silver which seems a bit unlikely, but either way it looks so f*cking ugly the way they have fitted them into the curved back. They look out of place to me. If they are going to go for an “iPad style” shape, then doing the windows the same way would be preferred.

    • o0smoothies0o - 10 years ago

      The new design that is in no way official in any capacity? Also the schematics don’t detail the antennas I don’t think. As far as how they will look incorporated on the back of the device.

    • Simeon Simeonoff - 10 years ago

      Yeah, my thoughts exactly. The antenna cut outs look so bad… asymmetrical and out of place. I really do want the bigger screen as I don’t want to leave the ecosystem as I already paid a lot of cash for apps. On another note, though, this has begun to look a bit too boring and the design elements are already redundant… to me it simply looks like an amalgamation between the iPod Touch 5th Generation, the iPhone 5s and some weird version of the HTC One. I really hope the design turns out a bit different in the end… otherwise I might reconsider replacing my iPhone 5.

    • borntofeel - 10 years ago

      Exactly. And that white piece around it looks cheap. If it looks something close to this, I indeed believe it’ll be for an iPod touch.

    • rettun1 - 10 years ago

      I think it’d look good if they went back to the method on the first gen iphone with a Black (or white) plastic bar on the bottom 20% of the device.

  10. Gregg Walmsley - 10 years ago

    Did anyone stop to think for a second that this may just be the iPod Touch??

    • o0smoothies0o - 10 years ago

      These are all based off of alleged iPhone schematics I believe. The iPod Touch is of little value to be leaked, by far the most leaked device will always be the iPhone. No one cares about the iPod Touch leaking, frankly. It is an amazing device, but it sells a fraction of what the iPhone does, and thus, the iPhone is the device to leak.

      • Tallest Skil - 10 years ago

        >>The iPod Touch is of little value to be leaked

        Except who knows what’s actually what? The 5.5” device screams iPod touch to me.

      • Every year there are leaks of the ipod touch guyz

      • o0smoothies0o - 10 years ago

        Please show me the leaks for the 5th Gen iPod touch, I don’t remember them.

  11. RP - 10 years ago

    That’s a VERY detailed mock-up. Who goes through so much trouble? Certainly not for a case design.

    • MaRico NoHands Spikes - 10 years ago

      $2100 3D printer at Microsoft Store could prolly make something like this

      • RP - 10 years ago

        sure but…with camera lens, buttons, glass screen, silver painted body and white connectors trim. That’s a hell of a lot of work in that mock-up, it’s not just a 3-d printed body

  12. bobbell69 - 10 years ago

    Reblogged this on BobLovesTech and commented:
    Think I’ll still be preferring the black/slate colour though.

  13. nonyabiness - 10 years ago

    That’s definitely a mock up- and a bad one at that. Look at the greasy nasty screen film- wtf? Take a look at the bottom housing- two screw holes flank the lightning port, one on each side- and then on the left side, there’s a random screw placed by the headphone port? Then there’s the fact that this phone looks like straight up ass- and there’s so much going on- random unnecessary lines everywhere. What has Jony produced lately that would make ANYONE ever suggest that this is what the iPhone will look like? Nope- not made by Apple. It’s just a mock up; therefore, it reveals nothing of the true nature of the upcoming iPhone.

    • nonyabiness - 10 years ago

      This is probably a mock up Samsung made and “leaked” to make people say- if that’s what the new iphone is going to look like, I may as well just buy a Galaxy S5. Lol

      • jrox16 - 10 years ago

        LOL that’s actually a very good idea and something Samsung would probably do.

    • Simeon Simeonoff - 10 years ago

      LOL about the greasy screen film :D … Apple would never create a screen film that greasy.
      In all the seriousness, though, I think the hole next to the headphone jack is the microphone. Nothing unusual about the screw holes on both sides of the lightning connector port. This mockup confirms a lot of the already leaked schematics and some of the other more believable physical mockups out there. Still… I also think the phone is nothing special to say the least. Too bad they didn’t really use any innovative approaches in the physical design of the product.

      • o0smoothies0o - 10 years ago

        Innovative approaches in the physical design of the device? How many morons are going to say this every year, is my question? What do you expect them to do ? PLEASE tell us hahaha. Circular, or triangular device?! Yay!

      • Simeon Simeonoff - 10 years ago

        Yeah, it will be moronic to even try to explain anything to an idiot like you… who thinks PHYSICAL product design is only related to the exterior shape of the device itself.

  14. Christopher Chouputra - 10 years ago

    Why those people still take such crapy blury pictures today.

  15. those bezels… what is this 2007?

  16. confluxnz - 10 years ago

    Urgh. Looks hideous. I’m sure Apple will do better than that for the real thing.

  17. Would be great of anytime someone posts photos of the iPhone6, they would ALWAYS post next to a current iPhone 5/5s. And if possible show all three iPhone5, iPhone 6(4.7) and iPhone6 (5.5). Thx much

  18. drtyrell969 - 10 years ago

    If thats it, Apple’s done.

    • jrox16 - 10 years ago

      Someone said above that this is probably a mockup made by Samsung LOL. So people will be like “if that’s the next iPhone I might as well get that GS5”. There’s no way the real iPhone 6 will look like this, with those plastic outline dividers top and bottom. Looks awful.

      • o0smoothies0o - 10 years ago

        What also looks awful is seemingly no reduction in bezel size. The iPhone 6 with a larger screen size, must have reduced bezels or it will be a gigantic device and the bezels will scream wasted space. If the bezels don’t change, I’m 99% sure there will be a 4″ iPhone 6. Sorry, but not everyone will just accept having to have an even larger device after moving to the 4″.

  19. thanks for giving us sour taste after showing this Sh*t, i know apple make devices very very premium, but this mockup is really taking my excitement of iPhone 6 away, please stop doing this.

  20. i really want to punch this man in the face

  21. jonvdveen - 10 years ago

    To be honest, I’m not a fan of the horizontal “breaks” along the back. Hopefully the actual iPhone 6 will have a cleaner look in the back.

  22. rettun1 - 10 years ago

    I bet there will still be inlays. Made of Sapphire, most likely. To me it would look much better than how these mock ups look, with the thin white lines

  23. kobymac - 10 years ago

    I love it how every year when the leaks come out for the iOS updates or the new iPhones, apple fanboys are disgusted. Then when they arrive, exactly as per the leaks, its all suddenly amazing and sexy. I really think it looks too long…they need to get rid of the physical button and if they need to keep the gimmicky fingerprint sensor, incorporate it into the screen.

  24. Riho Kroll - 10 years ago

    The back looks horrendous. I don’t know why they’ve decided to cut it up into so many pieces.

  25. Flaco Boy (@FlacoNY23) - 10 years ago

    So apple went with the iPhone 5S back flashlight two tone n now going back to one? i don’t see that happening..

  26. Emmanuel Espinoza - 10 years ago

    Its sooooo ugly! The 5s is so classy looking and is very high quality looking, this phone looks like an ipod! I was looking forward to it but what disconvinces me is the round edges and the lines on the back. Hopefully apple proves all these mockups wrong.😷😤😖
