The iPhone 6 WILL launch two weeks from today: Leaked box art 'confirms' release date

To his surprise, executives wrote back a few weeks later agreeing to take him up on the offer.

Now, Harry's label - which features a hand-drawn picture of a full English breakfast - has gone on sale nationwide.

 

The leak reported by Forbes came from Steve Hemmerstoffer, editor of the leading French Apple blog nowhereelse.fr.

Last year Hemmerstoffer unveiled details on the iPhone 5S hours before launch, lending some credibility to the leak.

He claims that the image of the box art was passed to him by a reliable Chinese source. 

On the box a date showing the expected announcement date can be seen - Tuesday 9 September.

For the release of the iPhone 5S Apple had a similar design, displaying the date of the announcement on the box.

The artwork also shows the new shape of the volume buttons, eschewing the circular design on the iPhone 5S for a more rectangular look.

And the sleep and wake button has also been moved from the top of the phone to the right hand side.

As expected, the fingerprint sensor used to lock and unlock the phone returns, while the charging port of the iPhone 6 now comes in the form of a Lightning connector.

The source also apparently claimed that a 128GB version of the phone will be available.
