Is it the new iPhone 6 or isn't it? TechRadar is cautious in revealing its beta tester scoop

Photos have been leaking like crazy, they added " There's almost no reason for us to believe that what Apple will be announcing next month will be different from what we've already seen.

When the iPhone 5 was unveiled, it came as no surprise to anyone. Several images of the Apple handset leaked onto the Internet..

With the upcoming iPhone 6, it's not much of a different story. We've seen photo after alleged photo of the device, but we've recently acquired new images of the upcoming iPhone. This time, it's pictured in its retailed box.

A source told TechRadar that these photos were taken by an Apple beta tester, but declined to give more information.

"This is a new source for us, so we're not saying with 100 per cent confidence that these photos are authentic. But after having checked EXIF data, photo manipulation and doing a little background check on our source, there's no reason for us to believe that these are fakes. Again, not 100% on that.

The JPEG images aren't of the best quality - they're not as clean as we'd like and we wish we could see better phone details - but again, it seems they may be real.

But there are a couple of questions: where is the Health app on the front screen? "Surely Apple would be promoting that on iPhone 6 packaging, given it's going to be a key battleground this year in the war against Android."

Of more interest: The phone looks quite similar to the Chinese 'variants' (read: clone knock offs) of the forthcoming iPhone 6, right down the size of the white lines running through and the picture on the front matching exactly - you can see these Asian models in multiple YouTube clips.

TechRadar said that if these photos turned out to be real that "the new iPhone 6 is going to be a handsome device, and it will also be remarkably thin. Moreover, even with the changes, it will still look very familiar and very much like an iPhone."
