The internet has been bombarded with leaked photos and news about the rumored specs and features of the iPhone 6. In one of the circulating pictures, a thinner, slimmer iPhone reflecting some mock-up designs were photographed beside an iPhone 5s by Jimmy Lin, a Taiwanese pop star.

Apple fan site, Mac Rumors has earlier indicated that "the device is more likely to be one of many physical mock-ups seen in recent months."

This isn't the first time that Lin was able to pull off a stunt like this. The site recalls that the celebrity, an apparent attention seeker, was able to produce similar photos in the past, one of which was an alleged image of an iPad Mini, 2 years before it was released by technology giant, Apple.

Meanwhile, MSN reports, "merchants on China's largest e-commerce site Taobao are already selling non-working ‘models' of the iPhone 6 for anywhere between 15 yuan and 460 yuan ($2.40 and $74.06). Some are even selling something called an ‘iPnoho7'".

Images of the alleged iPhone 6, were also posted by @mornray886 over Twitter. The device appears to be slimmer, thinner and carries the same sleek design that Apple is known for but according to iClarified.com, the photos have been confirmed to be fake.

As the buzz continues on the iPhone 6, Apple has taken extra measures to prevent the leak of valuable information on the soon-to-be-released device. The Wire writes, "Apple is fed up with all the leaks and have enlisted authorities in China - where the phones are manufactured - to put a stop to it."

A raid has also taken place recently to take down illegal re-sellers and smugglers that have resulted in the confiscation of devices.

Reports indicate that Apple may have assisted in the raid given that the company has the capacity to track serial numbers and activation of products and confirm whether devices are authentic or counterfeit.

Apple has been infamous for its secrecy of product development and such measures remind the public that Apple doesn't take illegal sales sitting down.

Some of the constant reports circulating about the mysterious next-gen iPhone model includes its use of sapphire glass, release of two size models, a 4.7" and 5.5" and its enhancements of Touch ID recognition, camera, and display resolution, among other things.
