We have been again treated with a new round of alleged iPhone 6 dummy images making their way to the web, this time tipping us about the measurement of the next iPhone device.

Discovered on the iphone-store.ro by GSM Arena, the flurry of images show the alleged dummy 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model being measured by a digital sliding gauge. The site claims that the yet-to-be-launched 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model will sport a dimension of 137.5x67x7mm, while the iPhone 5s measured 123.8x58.6x7.6 mm. The dimension measurements of the alleged iPhone 6 dummy hints we might see the next iPhone with a large display size, in-line with earlier leaks.

The purported leaked dummy iPhone 6 model images of the 4.7-inch variant are in-line with what has been widely expected based on earlier leaks. The iPhone 6 will take design cues from Apple's current generation iPod touch. Further, the iPhone 6 dummy images again show the power button positioned on the right panel of the device, instead of on the top panel seen on existing iPhone models.

Reports have for a while been indicating that Apple might finally enter the screen size battle with the launch of the iPhone 6, and its rumoured two display size variants - 5.5-inch and 4.7-inch.

Earlier this month, the Cupertino-based company was rumoured to be testing a higher screen resolution on at least one of the two iPhone models likely to debut this year. The report suggested that one of the two alleged iPhone 6 models would come with a 960x1704 pixels resolution screen, compared to the 640x1136 pixels resolution found on the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s - which all sport 4-inch displays.

The much-awaited new iPhone from Apple has been widely speculated about, and quite a number of leaks and alleged dummy models of the yet-to-be-announced handset have made their way to the Web.

Recent reports suggested that the alleged iPhone 6 with 5.5-inch display has been delayed due to battery cell supply constraints. Due to use of costly sapphire as a display material, the alleged iPhone 6 with 5.5-inch display is said to have limited production.

An earlier report even claimed that Apple might unveil the alleged 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model in August, while the 5.5-inch variant will follow later.
