iPhone 6 release date is inching closer while rumors are spreading across tech blogs.

Many concept designs have already been outed about what the iPhone 6 is all about and of course the media hype is probably way overblown for Apple's latest flagship. It really does feel as if there's more anticipation for the iPhone 6 release than the Samsung Galaxy S5.

But a French site says it has gotten hold of leaked photos of the original Apple iPhone 6.

Looking at the skinny images, analysts at yahool.com, say, "if they're real, it looks like you may be able to floss with the handset." Well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but a thinner, lighter handset is what everyone wants and early birds HTC's One M8 and the Galaxy S5 from Samsung have both followed that trend. It might even be true that rivals like Samsung and HTC have a 'think tank' where they come up with all the possible new features and specs the new iPhone 6 can possibly accomodate. The finger scanner might be a good example of this is this theory has any validity to it.

Nowhereelse.fr published images of what is believed to be the actual iPhone 6, 'sporting rounded edges and a barely-there profile, the new images show an iPhone that has almost no bezel on the sides and a considerably taller display. The screen apparently measures 4.7 inches diagonally, which matches up with other reports we've seen. However, the site doesn't have any photos showing the purported 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6."

This could mean a couple of things; either Apple has skipped the larger display 5.5 screen smartphone, particularly since reports confirmed a shortage of sapphire at the Mesa, Arizona plant. Or it could also hint of a delayed launch, trying to introduce the iWatch into the launch to make the connectivity to fitness apps and the 'Healthbook' more integrated.
