iPhone 6 Clone Running iOS 8-like OS Looks Real [VIDEO]

A wanna-be iPhone 6 is more realistic looking than Apple would probably like, BGR reports.

The clone, dubbed the Wico i6, has been revealed in a video posted to Chinese blog 86 Digital, showing off a plastic, fully functional copy of the 4.7-inch device. Although none of us know exactly what the rumored upcoming sixth-generation Apple smartphone will look like, the Wico i6 seems to mimic the picture in our heads based on the variety of reports that have been streaming in on the device for the past several months.

While it is unknown exactly what software the clone is running, it looks a lot like iOS. Check it out for yourself below:

Reports out of China and Germany, meanwhile, have revealed a plethora of information about the real iPhone 6, Forbes reports. 

As previously reported, the sixth-generation Apple smartphone is being tied to a September release date, which the reports are now suggesting will be Friday, the 19th.

Meanwhile, key alleged features were also revealed with the leaks, including a 128GB memory option for the "phablet" 5.5-inch iPhone 6. The Chinese report added, however, that both smartphone models would skip the 16GB option and start at 32GB and 64GB options instead.

The larger iPhone will also apparently feature a better camera than the 4.7-inch model thanks to the addition of optical image stabilization, which improves photo quality in low light conditions.

Bloomberg also recently reported that the iPhone 6 will enter mass production in July, according to sources familiar with Apple's plans.

The publication reports that the next Apple smartphone offerings will likely ship to retailers around the same time in September, suggesting that the devices will release together and not staggered, as previously rumored.

Specs rumors for the sixth-generation iPhone include an Apple A8, Near Field Communication(NFC) for mobile payments, Touch ID and an improved camera.
