The iPhone 6 will feature rounded edges, a curved display, and an an entirely aluminum back, according to a Mac Otakara report.
'Reliable sources' tell the site that the iPhone 6's cover glass will sit flush with the rounded corners of the device. They likened the profile of the new smartphone to the Squair Curvaceous Bumper, a Japan-made aluminum bumper for the iPhone with rounded edges.
The sources also said that Apple will discard the rear glass antenna breaks in favor of an all-aluminum design. This could mean changes to the antenna layout; however, an all-aluminum back would improve the durability of the phone.
Mac Otakara also claims that the new iPhone 6 will feature a curved display. Notably, Bloomberg reported in November that Apple was planning to release 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones with displays that curve downward at their edges in the second half of 2014. However, in January a report from the WSJ contradicted their claim saying the iPhone 6 would not feature a curved display.
Apple is expected to launch a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in Q3 and a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 in Q4. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
