A new supposed dummy iPhone 6 leak seems to support the return to a more curved design we’ve seen hinted at. And since it came from Sonny Dickson, a usually reliable source, it’s worth considering this is a real possibility.

Of course, this is just a dummy model, so whatever we see later in the year will likely look quite a bit different in its details. The yellow ring around the button, for instance, is clearly just some sort of plastic inlay. But the seemingly curved screen does follow recent trends.
What’s more, we’ve already heard that Apple was looking to go quite a bit bigger this round, and this supposed leak certainly seems like a larger iPhone than we’ve had to date, at least as far as width is concerned. Either way, it seems that an iPhablet will (thankfully) not be in our imminent future.
Earlier today, Sonny also tweeted the back of the dummy model, but that its design details feel a little more questionable. If this did come from Apple, there’s probably a lot on the back that is subject to change.

Of course, however weird or questionable some of these might seem. Sonny Dickson does have a pretty amazing track record, accurately predicting a lot about the iPhone 5c, as well as some details about iPads, and all hits with no misses. And that makes this a dummy that might know a whole lot about what’s coming next.
