Video: see the first functional 4.7-inch iPhone 6 clone in action

Last week, we told you that some Chinese companies already had functional iPhone 6 clones, and now we can show you a couple of videos that present such a clone.

Called Wico i6, the iPhone 6 knock-off that you’ll see below sports a 4.7 inch screen, and is rather laggy. Its display is visibly less appealing than the Retina Display of the iPhone 5s (you’ll notice that in the second video).

Reportedly, the screen of the Wico i6 has a 960 x 1,704 pixel resolution. Other features include a quad-core processor (possibly a MediaTek), 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, and Android 4.4 KitKat (obviously forked to look like iOS).

We’re expecting iPhone 6 clones to be available to buy in China in the near future for a few hundred dollars.

As we previously noted, we can’t be 100% sure that what we’re seeing below is an exact copy of the real iPhone 6 - which will most likely be announced by Apple in September. Anyway, what do you think, will Apple go with this design? Or will the company surprise us with something that we haven't seen before?

that protruding camera lens looks horrendous especially with the recessed flash, otherwise it doesn't look too bad

If they manage to make a decent phone with no lagging better screen and support more band then maybe they will have a chance... :)

This clone is so cringe worthy... Chinese clone makers have the exact measurements and everything given to them and they still can't even get the look completely right.... Not to mention the random country music pasted ontop of the video lol EDIT: Anyone else notice that the 5s has a round flash? Lol... Fake?

What "clone"??? If iphone6 comes with same design , will be clone of this phone. Do you have any Apple's real pictures so far, or only ifan's imaginary renders? ROTFL

Yeah but he is still right... even the smaller "5s" has a round led which probably makes it a fake...

static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5336bcd46bb3f70351f1d261-464-727/iphone_6c_drawings_larger.jpg Compare the clone design to the "schematics", which include all of the measurements. Earpiece is too high, front facing camera is too high, proximity sensor would be most likely hidden as it is on the 5S. Metal should come up to the sides of the screen rather than showing the screen bezel. One of the screws doesn't even screw into the phone, text font is completely wrong on the back. Vibrate switch is sitting in the middle for some reason, the Apple logo is recessed though on every other iPhone the Apple logo protrudes a small bit or is flush. ROTFL!!!!!!! YOU BURNED ME LOL

So if a Chinese company rips off the design language of a phone that's been in development for at least 2 years then it's there's? Maybe that's how it works in China where everyone rips off people's stuff without a car, but that's not how it works in the rest of the world.

Price it right, and it could be the better bang for the buck. They could snipe a few posers away.

Not a bad looking clone, and to think the real deal will have all the goodies, plus the attention to detail. The sleeping giant has been awakened.

If Apple can't get off it's high horse & compete in screen quality, size and resolution as much as the current competitors then it's no longer a leader and is all about making money making trade-offs then satisfying it's loyal customers....i'm NOT interested in ANY Apple product that is not at least in the top 3 of it's kind...that's why Apple should be that good !!! I'm not interested as most people are at high end walking around with a piece of tech that upon new release is inferior to it's competition ;-)
