These New iPhone 6 Photos Are '100% The Real Deal,' According To Leaker Sonny Dickson

Sonny Dickson, the prolific Apple product leaker from Australia, posted some new alleged photos of the next-generation iPhone on Twitter Tuesday morning.

He said these photos are "100% the real deal. Just wait and see." See for yourself.

The photo shows the back panel for what is likely the iPhone 6, even though it's been scuffed and dented to a severe extent. As Apple Insider's Neil Hughes points out, the new iPhone model appears to feature a new antenna design, hopefully to allow for better reception through the phone's aluminum shell. 

In the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S, Apple used glass cutouts for its antennas, but the alleged iPhone 6 appears to use a different kind of material for the antenna cutouts. We've reached out to Dickson to learn more about the material's composition and we'll update this story if we hear back.

The alleged part also shows one other design change from the iPhone 5S: The pill-shaped flash appears to have returned back into a normal circle, which means Apple may have figured out how to create a "True Tone" flash in a smaller module, likely to allow more room for other camera components.

Since this alleged part doesn't have any branding or regulatory information printed on the phone's exterior, it's possible this is an older prototype. And if that's the case, the final iPhone 6 may look a bit different than the damaged model Dickson is showing off here. We'll know for sure on September 9, which is when Re/code says Apple will unveil its eighth-generation iPhone. 

The iPhone 6 is expected to feature a larger and higher-resolution 4.7-inch display, a bigger battery, next-generation 802.11 ac WiFi, and a thinner, rounder form factor likely measuring 6mm deep.
