iPhone 6 Photo 'Leak' Reveals New Size

It's long been rumored that Apple's next-generation iPhone 6 will come in two sizes: one with a 4.7-inch display and another with a 5.5-inch display. Now, an alleged leaked document of what is believed to be a schematic of the iPhone 6 provides further hints that we could see an Apple smartphone in the 5.5-inch range.

As spotted by BGR, a diagram posted on a Chinese website and later popped up on French blog Nowhereelse.fr which often has a solid track record for getting leaked tech products photos ahead of launches reveals the dimensions for the iPhone 6, or at least one of the models.

The length is listed at 5.9 inches and the width comes in at 3.3 inches, a significant jump in size over the current iPhone 5S. That model is 4.87 x 2.32 inches.

The size would be make it even larger than the new HTC One, which has a 5-inch display and measures about 5.7 x 2.7 inches. That suggests this model of the new iPhone, if accurate would have a display measuring about 5.5 inches.

Stepping into the 5.5-inch size would represent Apple's first foray into larger handsets, often referred to as "phablets." Samsung kicked off the bigger smartphone market in 2011 when it announced the original 5.3-inch Galaxy Note phone. Other manufacturers such as HTC, Nokia and LG rolled out similar sizes soon after.

Meanwhile, the software that's expected to come with the iPhone 6 is rumored to have better mapping and a strong focus on fitness.
