Alleged iPhone 6 dummy hints at a very slim handset

Yet another purported iPhone 6 dummy has surfaced, but this time the rumor has a bit more meat to it, as the picture of the alleged design for Apple's upcoming handset comes courtesy of Sonny Dickson, who's leaked many an iPhone or iPad before with a good track record of hitting the mark. The picture reconfirms for the upmteenth time a svelte iPod touch-thin chassis, which rumors pegged to be a hair over 6mm. Such thickness would be a rather impressive achievement, especially if the iPhone 6 is made of premium materials like metal and glass.

The power/lock key has been moved to the side, to facilitate one-handed operation that will inevitably become a tad harder if the iPhone 6 indeed lands a 4.7" display panel, as speculated numerous times before. The camera on the back seems to be accompanied by a single LED flash opening, but let's not forget this is a purported dummy unit, plus a two-tone flash can still be fit in this circular slit. All in all, it looks like a very thin and light device, in sync with Apple's current design paradigm. What do you think about this one?
