iPhone 6 Hands-on! Watch it Boot Up [Video]

Get ready Apple Heads! An honest-to-goodness iPhone 6 has been captured on video--in the flesh, even. Well, sort of. Feld & Volk, noted luxury goods seller, has apparently acquired enough leaked iPhone 6 components to put together a working model. If you're wondering, it's the 4.7-inch version, or the smaller version of this year's iPhone 6. 

Check the video out for yourself. 

The best part about this video is that these guys actually get this 'franken-phone' to boot up, enough to where the "Connect to iTunes" prompt, which normally appears on iOS devices, actually appears. Near the end of the video you'll notice that the iPhone 6 is placed side-by-side with an iPhone 5S to provide us with an understanding of just how much larger this iPhone 6--to say nothing of its larger 5.5-inch sibling--are compared to last year's model. 

What's still unclear about the two new iPhone models is if either of them will sport the much-touted sapphire glass covering the new and larger display. According to this latest video there are somethings that we can conclude after seeing a fully-assembled iPhone 6. One thing is the curved glass on the top of the phone. Gone are the harsh 90-degree edge transition from the top of the phone to its sides. Instead, there is a smooth sloping edge that looks like it would be much more comfortable in the hand than the iPhone 5/5S. 

The video also confirms the return of Touch ID, or biometric security measures. The iPhone 6 appears to have the latest iteration of Apple's fingerprint scanner built-in to the home button. 

All in all, it looks like Apple has improved on the iPhone 5S's design, and--let's face it--it was well overdue for an upgrade. Hopefully the redesign was not just cosmetic. Apple needs some serious horse power under the hood in order to compete with flagship phones from other manufacturers. Simply relying on past successes won't cut it here. 

Overall the device is very handsome, though some have noted the protruding camera housing on the back of the phone, as well as the odd plastic striping, also placed on the phone's back, as ugly design cues that are hopefully left out of the final version(s) of the phone.
