iPhone 6 schematics show design changes

An alleged leaked schematic render of Apple’s upcoming iPhone iteration shows that a design departure looks to be on the cards with the iPhone 6.

The image shows that the power button will be moved from the top (such as on the iPhone 5) to the side of the phone, thereby resembling Android phoned, such as the Samsung Galaxy S5.

The reason for this is the larger screen size on the flagship device, which is reportedly going to be 4.7-inches.

Larger phones are more difficult to use with one hand, especially if the power/lock button is on the top.

Apple has seemingly realised the problem and looks to have rectified it by moving it to the side.

According to AmongTech, the schematic renders came from a leak in Apple’s supply chain at manufacturing facility Foxconn and were first spotted on Chinese site Wei Feng.
