Official iPhone 6 and iWatch leaks thread

With the impending launch of the iPhone 6 on September 9th, it is obvious we are going to seem more and more parts leak. Let's try to keep it all in one place.

Apple's 'iWatch' to Feature Flexible Display, Wireless Charging
Adding to this morning's report from The Wall Street Journal pointing towards a curved OLED screen for Apple's upcoming "iWatch", The New York Times has released several details about the wearable device, suggesting it will have a flexible display and wireless charging capabilities.
Echoing past rumors, The New York Times says the iWatch will come in two separate sizes, focusing on health/fitness and mobile computing tasks, and that it will allow people to make purchases with included NFC support. Its flexible display is described as "unique," and Apple is said to have settled on wireless charging after a failed experiment with solar charging.

With rumors claiming the iPhone 6 will include a near field communications (NFC) chip from NXP to potentially support a mobile payments initiative from Apple flying in recent days, the existence of the chip now appears to have been confirmed. Luxury modified iPhone vendor Feld & Volk [Instagram page], which has shared a number of claimed parts from the iPhone 6 in recent weeks, has now gotten its hands on a complete logic board for the device.
NFC confirmed for iPhone 6

New high-quality photos said to be of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6's rear shell have been shared by Nowhereelse.fr (Google Translate), showing us what may be a finished back from the device. Notably, this newest component appears to have its rear bands colored in to fit with the rest of the device, perhaps suggesting that the different color options of the iPhone 6 will feature a similar treatment.

With the iPhone 6 launch less than a month away, we've been seeing new images of leaked parts on a near daily basis. Multiple images of both the front panel and the rear shell of the 4.7-inch device have surfaced, but for the first time, the two parts have been photographed together, giving us our clearest look yet at Apple's upcoming iPhone 6.

Looks like the very first iPhone without the black part and thinner.

It's starting to grow on me. I wasn't a fan of the antenna breaks or the rounded edges at first.
I'm hoping the mic is just as strong since it's now a small hole as opposed to several small holes on the bottom of the phone.
Hopefully we get some material hardware upgrade other than size or an NFC chip, which I really don't care about much.

Did you mean the HTC One?
This looks nothing like a Galaxy anything.

Fugly. Looks like original iPhone. The antenna breaks are terrible and give it a cheap look. Depending on material, those breaks eventually tarnish and get dirty. My HTC one has very small ones and you can tell. The thinness of it is a plus. The large home button and upper Mic area are not. Eats up valuable real estate for what could be added screen area.

Don't have the specs of the chipset and camera upgrade. But both should be improved.
Also the screen resolution should as well.

And those antenna lines are ugly as shite. The rounded design is ok by me. It's actually the same as the air.

Apple to turn iPhone 6 into digital wallet...found this on CBS.

Re/Code, citing unnamed sources familiar with the talks, is reporting that Apple has reached an agreement with American Express to work together on a mobile payment system for the new iPhone. The tech news site says Apple has held discussion "with multiple credit card networks" about the new payment system.
quote:
Bloomberg reports Apple has also reached deals with MasterCard and Visa, in addition to AmEx, as it pursues partnerships with major payment networks, banks and retailers.
quote:
The mobile payment system would reportedly be enabled by a short-distance wireless technology called near-field communication, or NFC. Though NFC is already available on a number of Samsung and other Android devices, it has not been built into Apple phones in the past, hampering its widespread adoption.

Nothing could go wrong with that, ever.

It's about time Apple caught up with NFC. Now more stores will have to get the NFC payment machines.
Been using Google Wallet NFC for years wishing Apple would adopt it so I could use it more places. Thanks Apple.

A digital wallet should be more secure than a real wallet. If someone steals your real wallet then they have all your credit card numbers. If someone steals your iPhone then they need to get past the finger print scanner before they can access your credit cards. And if they do it properly, they won't even have your actual card number in your digital wallet app, just something that calls home and requires authorization for each use.

You are right this is how it should be done....however celebrities should be able to assume a relative amount of privacy with photos on iCloud too right?
Also good job adding NFC.....very innovative.
