New Delhi: We have already seen the rumoured iPhone 6 in a string of leaked images, and now an Italian blog Macitynet.it has put up some new pictures showing an alleged iPhone 6 prototype side-by-side with Samsung's Galaxy S5. The pictures suggest that the upcoming iPhone will be slightly smaller than the Galaxy S5 and will have a thinner frame than Samsung's flagship model. Speculations are that the next-gen iPhone will be a mere 6 millimetres thick and will first come with a 4.7-inch screen.Reuters citing supply chain sources earlier reported that Apple suppliers will begin mass producing displays as early as May for the next iPhone, expected to be launched this autumn, with a 4.7-inch screen likely to be produced first, while a 5.5-inch version could be delayed.Both iPhone 6 screens are expected to use in-cell touch panel technology - built into the screen and allowing for thinner construction than with standard touch panel films - that was introduced with the iPhone 5, sources said. But due to difficulties with in-cell production technology for the larger 5.5-inch size, one of the sources said, a decision was made to begin mass production with the 4.7-inch version alone.Production of 5.5-inch screens is expected to start several months later, with the possibility of a shift to a film sensor instead of in-cell technology for that size, the source said. ####
