Other features to expect include 5.7-inch Quad HD screen with pixel density of 515ppi and 1440 x 2560 resolution.
iPhone 6 Specs
It has been a long standing prediction that Apple will release two sizes of the iPhone 6: 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch. The handset will feature sapphire glass materials encased in liquidmetal ensuring shock proof capabilities according to Forbes.
