Another leaked case, allegedly for the iPhone 6, shows a repositioned power button corroborating recent rumors.

The case was posted by Nowhereelse:

Then notice the rectangular format of the volume control buttons (# 1) which differs from the format of round buttons on previous generations. Finally, unlike the cases revealed last night and as yet the rumored, the standby button of the device has been moved to one of its lateral edges (2 #).

In his Apple roadmap research note, KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi-Kuo recently detailed specifications for the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 and revealed that Apple may move the sleep/wake button to facilitate one-handed operation on the larger devices.

This case is just one of a recent flurry of leaks that suggests Apple may be ramping up iPhone 6 production earlier than expected. We've seen leaked schematics, molds and more molds, a 5.1-inch front panel, batteries, and mockups.

Is Apple planning to release the iPhone 6 this summer? Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Chinese probably didn't get the entire iPhone parts from images of fred doers they saw. Seriously it's from them.

This is like the power button of a lumia or something hahahaha. It's all good

You are less of a "user" than any of us. iPhone has less thickness, what in your mind makes you believe what you said? Besides it's not confirmed that apple may move the home button, but for different sizes tough, I hope it's an option.

Apple will make and design the way they want. There is nothing set in stone that makes an hardware android. If the new phone suits you buy it or don't. Stop whining.

Ugly shape but that could be for new ipod touch

Whats the problem with the power button on the sides. Its actually better to have it in the side than at the top for phones more than 4 inches. Thats the mistake htc did with their recent M8 too.

guys its just a rumor! come down! Apple isn't stupid enough to do that. this is fake.

Nooooooooooo! Please don't mimic Android phones!!! Side power/sleep button is one if the most things I hate about Android phones, once you take the phone from someone's hand, it will be locked!!! Please, noooooooooooo Apple, don't do that to us!

It's what users asked but apple's trying to make it one hand use. What choice do they have.

Please don't mimic android phones ?lol, so what you think they were doing till now ? Copied touch screen phones from Compaq/HP/PALM etc. App Store from blackberry, large screen phone from Samsung. Low budget 5C plastic scrap from all other mobile manufacturers. All new iOS addition in iOS 7 copied from jailbreak tweaks. Now copying buttons / controls. This is what they can do and this is what they will do. No point in crying. Pay high price for copy and suffer. Good luck. ROFLX :D

No. Why Apple, why? That is one of the dumbest things Apple could do.

gamerscul9870 - April 16, 2014 at 2:11pm

Users asked for it, but were they specific enough? Blame them.
