iPhone 6 Rumors: High Quality Next-Gen Mock-Up and 5s Comparison Video Launches
A new video that compares a high quality mock-up of the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 5s hit the internet this week.
It's a highly detailed comparison that shows the differences between the devices including size and design. The mock-up is an unofficial model based on leaked design drawings so any conclusions made off the video are purely speculation.
The iPhone 6 is slightly thinner than the iPhone 5s. It is also taller and wider thanks to a 4.7-inch display.

The 6 features iPod touch style edges that are more rounded than the iPhone 5s. The microphone holes and rectangular volume buttons are also in the same position on the 6 as the Touch. The flash on the iPhone 6 is circular shaped while the 5s is pill shaped. See it here.
The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model could launch as early as August.
Taiwan's Economic Daily News claims that Apple is planning to unveil this iPhone in August and will follow with a 5.5-inch or 5.6-inch model in September. It also states that the company will produce 80 million iPhone 6 units this year and that Foxxconn and Largan Precision will handle the assembling of the camera module.
It looks like Apple might have also finally given into pressure to keep up with Android as the company will implement NFC technology into the next-gen model.
A report from BrightWire cites inside sources that claim Apple will integrate the technology and also struck a deal with China UnionPay to include its services into Passbook.
Both companies also might work together on a new mobile payment service that can be used for purchases in Apple Stores.
NFC is common among Android devices such as the Galaxy S4 and S5. Apple has never felt the need for the technology until now.
