Following its leak of photos showing the iPhone 6 logic board that have revealed the device's NFC chip and 16 GB of storage, luxury modified iPhone vendor Feld & Volk[Instagram page] has now shared some photos and a video showing the device in operation and booting to a black screen requesting the user to connect the device to iTunes...Click to view the video.
Feld & Volk says it has been able to piece together this iPhone from various components it has obtained as part of its effort to build its own luxury version of the iPhone 6 for its customers, and remarkably enough, the device is at least capable of turning on.
While it seems surprising that a functional iPhone 6 could be built from individual components, Feld & Volk has demonstrated that it has been able to get its on rare parts, and thus it is possible they may have acquired everything necessary to build the device.

It’s happening. Apple’s invitation to a September 9 event has officially gone out. At least one next-gen iPhone will be unveiled in a few short days. However, new photos have emerged on Chinese site WeiFeng that appear to show components that match up almost identically to previous leaks for a 4.7-inch iPhone.
If these numerous leaks are to be trusted as the real deal, and we are, in fact, looking at parts for the next iPhone, then you’ll notice that this design language is quite a departure from the past few generations of the iPhone. From the iPhone 4 onward (with the slight exception of the iPhone 5c), the iPhone has had a flat face and back, with rounded corners.
These components point to a more iPad mini-like shape, with four strips of plastic seemingly running across the back of the device. As AppleInsider mentions, the strips in these most recent photos seem to be closer to the color of the metal back of the phone, as opposed to previous leaks. This might suggest that we’re seeing a more finalized version.
However, we’ve also heard rumors that claim that the plastic strips are just a preliminary design, and will eventually be replaced by glass, which would look a bit closer to the current iPhone 5s.
The next iPhone is a big deal for Apple. The company is making big changes to react to the smartphone landscape that it had a huge part in creating, and all this without Steve Jobs at the helm.
All that said, with a bigger screen and a more durable design, this next iPhone could be the device of the year.
