Images have leaked online allegedly showing a bezel-less front glass panel for the iPhone 6, reports Nowhereelse. They briefly appeared on Sina Weibo before being deleted.

Recently, the Korea Herald revealed that Apple was testing a prototype iPhone with a 'bezel-free' display. This would allow Apple to release a larger display, as is widely expected, while minimizing the overall size of the device.

The leaked panel does have a larger display size; however, the Home button is not perfectly centered in vertical direction, making it's authenticity questionable.

Although these images did not visibly touched and their quality is quite acceptable, it would have been quite easy for the author of these photos to scrape the black layer on the glass panel to delineate the borders of the and display, in order to increase the size of fictitiously latter... Besides the fact that the hole in which the back button to home would slip is not perfectly centered in the height direction puzzled me...

To see what a side bezel-free display would like, check out this iPhone 6 concept.

The home button isn't perfectly round. It's egg-shaped and there are a great deal of suspicious smudges and scratches round the hole, as if it was sanded. I highly doubt this is real, and the quantity of scratches on it smacks of plastic, not glass. The curve of the piece does not appear consistent either. The bottom right corner in the second picture seems to start to curving even before it reaches the correct location of the corner. The earpiece slot shows white edges, which is also indicative of plastic, as blackened glass has none of those effects, as evidenced in the other two pieces.

The truth is scraped paint from an iPhone 5 front glass lens.

Exactly. This look is not confirmed yet. Not the final look either.

Newsflash......... it if true is a prototype, hardly surprising its not perfect for testing purposes.....Duh!

It's not Photoshop. Get 3 screen protections (4S and 2 5 or 5S) and a black tape. Do the magic then take their pictures with a camera phone from 17th century. Upload them with a shiny title. Ta-daa.

Chaz - March 4, 2014 at 6:14am

Really? That's a really thick screen protection...

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 6:48pm

It's an unconfirmed look.

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 5:32pm

This looks unfinished. The home button has a gap where the display is and the display is literally at the edge of both sides.

Chaz - March 3, 2014 at 6:17am

Haha omg so fake, I was able to replicate this in about 5 minutes. It's just paint scratched off a front glass lens for an iPhone 5. Here's my attempt ! http://i.imgur.com/w4r33Lh.jpg

I know one thing, it's long past due to get rid of those massive spaces on top and button of the screen. Everybody else past that point long ago. Check out HTC Aria , it's like 5 years old phone, has all the futures like iphone, including GPS, and front is pritty much all screen. Had it for a while and loved it cuz of it compact size. At that time I wish I could run iOS on it though.

After, this iPhone comes out I might think about to buy or not cause I own an iPhone 5s.

Teepzo - March 3, 2014 at 6:18am

And after visiting McDonalds I might or might not buy a hamburger

Grup - March 3, 2014 at 6:34am

I'll buy a hamburger though and a coke

matrixmaniac - March 3, 2014 at 7:29am

I'll buy a hamburger, but i may or may not buy french fries!

Grup - March 3, 2014 at 2:48pm

The hamburger you may like with cheese or may not like with cheese?

sH23 - March 4, 2014 at 6:43pm

I prefer Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. I used to be able to get 4 of those including tax for $4.20. Those were the daze my friend.

What!!! - March 3, 2014 at 3:43am

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 4:44am

Don't be the fax blurting questioning fan below, as said it's unconfirmed of the date.

AppleGuy299 - March 3, 2014 at 3:41am

Did you read his email? What does 666 remind you of?

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 3:43am

I'm talking about his questions thank you.

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 1:22pm

Ok mate.

pkmaximum - March 3, 2014 at 2:39am

I was hoping for a bigger screen than this.....

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 3:01am

It says 'prototype' in the description, plus, this isn't one of the 3 sizes it looks like, it was said to be 4.7", 4.8", and 5.5"

pkmaximum - March 3, 2014 at 3:02am

I hope so, because that would be pretty disappointing.

Teepzo - March 3, 2014 at 4:53am

Yea maybe it wraps around the edges, so you can get a bigger screen... LOL

gamerscul9870 - March 3, 2014 at 4:55am

Or be HTC related. Not entirely though.

Dublin - March 3, 2014 at 2:07am

Actually, to me, the offset button makes it more likely to be real - when assembled so that the display area is black, too, there's no reason for a gap between the home button and the screen, especially w/the ring surrounding the newer fingerprint-reading button. It won't look odd once it's all together.

Chaz - March 3, 2014 at 6:23am

The dimensions of the home button/Touch ID sensor extend outward in a square shape in order to prevent the home button from falling out from the glass. Furthermore, there is an adhesive rubber gasket that cradles the entire home button assembly and fastens it to the screen. This is why an offset home-button like this is not plausible. The picture is a hoax
