New Alleged Case For 5.5-Inch iPhone 6 Surfaces

Everyone is waiting for Apple’s next generation, the iPhone 6 which should surf very soon from now. According to a new report from the french blog Nowhereelse.fr, it looks like that iPhone 6 will come in two flavors a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch model. Most of the alleged leaked case sand renders that have surfaced in the last few months, however, have just been for the former.

The above picture is spotted by our friends at Nowhereelse.fr blog which show a physical mockup of the alleged handset in the snap-on case, sitting next to a 4.7-inch version…

Here’s more on the case from Nowhereelse.fr’s Steve Hemmerstoffer (via Google Translate):

While others continue to stream photos and videos comparative models of the iPhone 6 4.7 inches, I myself have decided to go in search of new information about the model 5.5 inches. As so often is with a prop I got new details.
Thus, and assuming that the information on which this provider designed its protective cases are faithful to reality, the iPhone 6 or iPhone Air identified in this case under the name iPhone 6s would measure 157mm long and 81mm in wide with a thickness of 7mm.

Hemmerstoffer points out that the dimensions for the larger device provided by the case-maker are very similar to those of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3: 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm. In fact, it seems that the larger iPhone is a bit longer and wider (although thinner) than the Note.

Recent reports claim that the 5.5-inch iPhone has been causing production problems for Apple’s partners due to its in-cell technology and sapphire display covers. It’s believed that the model will debut after the 4.7-inch model, and some say it could be more expensive.
