Here Are A Bunch Of Leaked Photos Of The New iPhone 6 That Are Driving Apple Crazy
Ever since the release of the iPhone 5S, Apple addicts have been awaiting the arrival of the next iPhone like kids on Christmas morning. The ambiguity surrounding the highly anticipated smartphone fuels a rumor mill strong enough to blow away a tsunami.
However, several photos of the new iPhone 6 were just leaked, confirming many of the rumors, and setting the Apple community ablaze with even more excitement and anticipation.
Apple's 2014 iPhone will be introduced at a September 9 media event. It will include a larger, redesigned form factor with 4.7" and 5.5" diagonal screens.
Unfortunately for Apple, several images of the phone were leaked prior to the official release.
With the iPhone 5, Apple increased the screen size of the device from 3.5 inches to 4 inches.
Over the course of the last several years, consumer preference has shifted towards bigger screens.
Sapphire crystal screens will be available on some models.
The new iPhone also features a faster and more efficient A8 chip.

Another American city is embracing the idea of small homes.

The 192 square-foot homes, which would cost $250 to $350 per month to rent, would allow individuals making just $5,000 to $15,000 a year to be able to afford them, according to Dave Carboneau of TechDwell.
