The iPhone 6 WILL launch two weeks from today: Leaked box art 'confirms' release date


  • A leading French blog says the iPhone 6 will be announced on Tues 9 Sept
  • The information comes from supposedly leaked box art of the device
  • On the box a date is shown, in addition to new details on the iPhone 6
  • Includes the shape of the volume buttons and new power button position
  • And a source also said the phone will come in a 128GB model

The wait for Apple’s iPhone 6 is nearly over, according to the latest leak.
Promotional box art seems to confirm the announcement for Apple's next smartphone as being Tuesday 9 September.
And several other details - including the position of the volume buttons and the new location of the power button - have also been revealed

On the right is the box art previously leaked by Steve Hemmerstoffer of nowhereelse.fr, which confirmed details on the iPhone 5S hours before it was announced
Last year Hemmerstoffer unveiled details on the iPhone 5S hours before launch, lending some credibility to the leak.
He claims that the image of the box art was passed to him by a reliable Chinese source. 
On the box a date showing the expected announcement date can be seen - Tuesday 9 September.
For the release of the iPhone 5S Apple had a similar design, displaying the date of the announcement on the box.
The artwork also shows the new shape of the volume buttons, eschewing the circular design on the iPhone 5S for a more rectangular look.
And the sleep and wake button has also been moved from the top of the phone to the right hand side.
As expected, the fingerprint sensor used to lock and unlock the phone returns, while the charging port of the iPhone 6 now comes in the form of a Lightning connector.
The source also apparently claimed that a 128GB version of the phone will be available.
The leaked images were posted by Moscow designers Feld and Volk and claim to show the rear shell (pictured) and an embedded logo, alongside a cable that is said to be used for the home button. The images are purported to be of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model, which is expected to launch on 9 September
