Video: You're going to want an iPhone 6 if this is what iOS 8 is like Apr 15th 2014, 15:21, by Owen Hughes We've already put together a pretty substantial wishlist of features we'd like to see in iOS 8, and with June's WWDC on the approach we're beginning to get a better idea of what to expect from Apple's next OS update. Some features are simple yet much-needed tweaks that'll make iOS a more user-friendly experience, like a more cooperative Siri that can interface with third-party apps. Apple is also expected to jump aboard the fitness bandwagon with the brand-new Healthbook app, although this has left us wondering where such an app would collect its data. Could the iWatch be an actual, real thing? Here are eight features iOS 8 may be packing come WWDC 2014: YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9K3OSRFgqw Buying guide: Best phone deals of the week Apr 15th 2014, 13:36, by TechRadar Best phone deals of the week It's an exciting week for phones as you can now buy or pre-order three of the biggest and best Android handsets of the year- the Samsung Galaxy S5, the HTC One (M8) and the Sony Xperia Z2, and better yet our reviews for all of them are in, so you can make an informed decision. Our deals have two elements for each phone we're featuring: the first is one of the most popular of the week, with the most interest from consumers all over the UK. The second is the total cost of ownership, where we work out how much the combined total of handset plus monthly cost will hit the wallet over the duration of the deal. It may not be the best-endowed in terms of minutes or data, but for a lot of people the thought of owning an iPhone 5S and a contract for two years without spending more than £600 is a rather lovely one. Samsung Galaxy S5 So, let's begin with the phone that's got the most tongues wagging, and this week people are jumping at a 16GB version of the Galaxy S5 on O2, which if bought through Mobiles.co.uk comes with unlimited minutes and texts and 5GB of 4G data. This can all be yours for £33 per month with a one-off charge of £49. That's a 24 month contract which comes out at £841 in total. While that's certainly a good deal, you can get the Galaxy S5 cheaper if you're prepared to pay more upfront. Cheapest Samsung Galaxy S5 deal The cheapest overall cost of ownership right now is available from Mobile Phones Direct, which gives you the handset on Orange with 250MB of data, 500 minutes and unlimited texts for just £11.99 per month on a 24 month contract. The catch is that you've got to pay £399.99 upfront for the handset, but it still works out remarkably cheap at just £687.75 over the 24 months. Of course you'll also have to live with a lot less data and minutes than the previous deal. HTC One (M8) The most popular HTC One (M8) deal of the week is identical to the Galaxy S5 one. It's available on O2 with 5GB of 4G data, unlimited minutes and unlimited texts for a reasonable £33 per month, though that includes paying £49 upfront for the handset. As with the Galaxy S5 that totals £841 over 24 months. Cheapest HTC One M8 deal The cheapest overall deal for it this week is from Mobile Phones Direct, where you can get the handset on Orange with 250MB of data, 500 minutes and unlimited texts for a paltry £11.99 per month. There's a steep upfront charge of £389.99, but that still only means a total cost of £677.75 over 24 months, which is £10 cheaper than the best Galaxy S5 deal at the moment. Sony Xperia Z2 The most popular Sony Xperia Z2 deal this week involves buying it on O2 from Carphone Warehouse. It comes with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 5GB of 4G data for £33 per month. So far so similar to the HTC One (M8) and Galaxy S5 deals, but there's a slight difference in that you have to pay £149 upfront for it. But it's not actually any more expensive as you then get £100 cashback within 30 days of the contract starting, so once you factor that in it still only costs £841 over 24 months. Cheapest Sony Xperia Z2 deal The cheapest way to get the Sony Xperia Z2 right now is through Mobile Phones Direct, which offers the handset on Orange with 250MB of data, 500 minutes and unlimited texts, for £11.99 per month with a £364.99 upfront charge. That comes out at £652.75 over 24 months, making it cheaper to own right now than the Galaxy S5 or HTC One (M8). Apple iPhone 5S Apple's flagship might be getting on a bit but it's still good enough to go toe-to-toe with the Android heavyweights. It also carries a similarly high price tag, with the most popular deal this week coming courtesy of Mobiles.co.uk, which offers the phone for £33 per month with a £49 upfront cost, coming out at £841 in total. For that you'll get the 16GB version of it on O2 with 5GB of 4G data, unlimited texts and unlimited minutes, the same deal in other words as the Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8) are on. Cheapest iPhone 5S deal You can get the Apple iPhone 5S very cheap over the course of the contract, but only if you're prepared to buy a pre-owned handset. Mobiles.co.uk is offering a refurbished 16GB version on a 24 month EE contract with 500MB of data, 500 minutes and unlimited texts for £13.99 per month, alongside a one-off charge of £244.99. In all it will set you back £580.75. Apple iPhone 5C The iPhone 5S's cheaper sibling is still a pretty slick handset in its own right and this week the most popular way to get it is through Tesco Phone Shop, which sells a 16GB version of the handset on T-Mobile with unlimited data, unlimited texts and 500 minutes for £27.99 per month. That's with no upfront cost, so over 24 months it will cost you £671.76. Cheapest iPhone 5C deal The Apple iPhone 5C can be even cheaper if bought direct from EE. The network offers it in 8GB with 500MB of data, 500 minutes and unlimited texts for £13.99 per month, alongside an upfront fee of £229.99, coming out at £565.75 over the life of the contract. Be warned that the 8GB version doesn't give a huge amount of room for apps and media, but if you're not going to be permanently downloading movies, taking a few pictures and playing larger games then you should find this to be OK. SIM only If you want to keep your old phone, or just buy a new one outright, then you can currently get a decent SIM-only deal from Three, which has an 'Ultimate Internet SIM 200' deal with unlimited 4G data, 200 minutes and 5000 texts for £12.90 on a 1 month rolling contract, so you're not even tied into anything.

Check out our list of the best budget options. iPhone 6 panel leak puts us face-to-face with a bigger handset Apr 15th 2014, 13:12, by Hugh Langley A photo of what seems the be the panel for a larger iPhone has shown up on the web. Could this be the inflated iPhone 6 we've been hearing so much about? The image was posted on Sina Weibo and shows the larger panel next to an iPhone 5S to help up appreciate the proportional differences. Yes, it's quite clearly bigger, but there's no guarantee that it's also legitimate - after all, it is that wonderful time of year where the web is filled with fake iPhone 'leaks' vying for our attention. Growth spurt All the expected holes and markings can be seen on the panel face, although the bezel looks a lot slimmer than that on the 5S. The internet is awash with rumours that Apple is readying a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 for September, with a 5.5-inch version to follow not long after. It's difficult to tell by the picture alone but this panel looks a tad bigger than the last allegedly-leaked one we saw, most likely making this the 5.5-incher. You can also see a box containing more of the panels in the bottom right of the picture. So if this isn't the real thing, s it looks like someone intends to make a nice little mint from selling some fake Apples. All the latest deets on the iPhone 6 Is this what Samsung's Galaxy Glass will look like? Apr 15th 2014, 10:54, by James Rogerson We've heard about Samsung's rumoured Google Glass rival a couple of times already but now we might be getting our first glimpse of just what form it takes. A new patent application which Samsung recently filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office shows a device which looks a lot like Google Glass. It's not so much a pair of glasses as a one-sided headset by the looks of things - essentially like a Bluetooth headset but with a display curving round in front of your eye. Smart... headset? Other than the design the patent doesn't reveal much. The device is referred to as "Earphone" in the application, so it may not even be called the Galaxy Glass / Gear Glass (although we'd be extremely surprised if Samsung actually launched a product called Earphone so that's probably just a codename). It does suggest that the device might work as a phone though, along with whatever else it can do. We've heard talk of companies looking into "ear computers" recently - including Apple - which suggests that the ear-based component may be just as important as the glass bit. Either way this patent application certainly looks like a Google Glass competitor and the latest rumours point to a launch at IFA 2014 in September. That would put Samsung's smart glasses out at a similar time to the consumer model of Google Glass, as that's also expected later this year. Let's hope Samsung does glasses better than watches. LG G3 could be here by July as super hi-res screen 'confirmed' Apr 15th 2014, 10:02, by James Rogerson Samsung, HTC and Sony have all got their flagships out the door and now the only real Android big-hitter we're waiting for is the LG G3. The good news is it might be with us sooner than the LG G2 was. Initial rumours were pointing to a May, June or July date and the latest rumours follow suit, putting it out in early July. That's according to ZDNet Korea, which got the information from a 'senior company official,' who went on to say that the handset would be unveiled in late June, and that the release date was being brought forward because an August release would be too late for the phone to stay competitive. We've also now got our first real glimpse of the LG G3 - or at least that's what's being claimed by Ubergizmo, which received the photo from "a source that has proven reliable in the past." Pixel perfect The image doesn't really give us a good look at the handset but it does show a completed AnTuTu benchmark test on the screen, the results of which show that rumoured 1440 x 2560 resolution again. Going one better, Ubergizmo is claiming to have got confirmation from LG that this will indeed be the resolution of the device. The image also shows that the GPU is a Qualcomm Adreno 330, though it appears that the DPI information is wrong as it wouldn't match up with the likely 5.2- to 5.5-inch screen size of the LG G3. The main thing to take away from all this is that a quad HD display is looking ever more likely for the G3 and that you might not have to wait too long to get your hands on one. Don't want to wait for the LG G3? The Samsung Galaxy S5 is pretty tasty too. Updated: Android 5 release date, news and rumors Apr 15th 2014, 08:48, by Gareth Beavis and John McCann Android 5.0 news and rumors Android 5 is going to be exciting, there's no doubt about that. Google saves the change to a new number for the big things, with both Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich making big alterations to the way we use our Android phones. We thought it would have been Key Lime Pie that showed off the next level, but on 31 October 2013, Google officially revealed its next minor update, Android 4.4 KitKat, which now clears the road for Android 5. The dessert-themed code name that we assume will begin with L is anyone's guess at this stage. Android 5.0 Lemon Cheesecake or Android 5.0 Lemon Meringue Pie, anyone? It may not be called Android 5 though, with some rumors suggesting the next major iteration from Google's wheel house could arrive as Android 4.5. That would make sense as we've had 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 in recent years. Cut to the chase What is it? The next major upgrade for Android, to follow on from Android 4.4 When is it out? We're thinking mid-2014 What will it cost? Nothing, it'll be a free upgrade As we wait on official news of that name, we're constantly combing the web to see what's going to be happening with this L-powered update, so check back to see what we've uncovered and the level of likelihood each rumor brings. Android 5.0 release date Until Android 4.4 was announced we had expected the Android 5.0 release date to be some time in October 2013. We instead saw Android 4.4 KitKat launch on 31 October, so now we're expecting to see Android 5.0 shown off in mid-2014, quite possibly at Google IO, Google's annual two-day developer conference in San Francisco. That's a year on from when we had originally expected to see Android 5.0, which was at Google IO 2013, which took place from May 15 to May 17 2013. Sundar Pichai, Google's new head of Android told Wired that 2013's IO was "not a time when we have much in the way of launches of new products or a new operating system"," which makes us wonder when the new software will be coming. Our take: Android updates are still coming too slowly for our liking, as while each 0.1-numbered upgrade is good, it's not enough to make us want the native experience. We're expecting Google to make Android 5 rather special indeed, which means it can only wait a maximum of 6-7 months after KitKat was announced to show it off - so mid-2014 has to happen, in our opinion. More recent reports of Android 4.5 being next in line may put a spanner in the major overhaul thinking, so we're not getting too carried away just yet. Android 5.0 phones The first handset to run Android 5 will either be a Nexus phone or tablet, and given the timing of the announcement we think it might be the latter. The Google Nexus 5 launched Android 4.4 at the tail end of next year, and we reckon the Nexus 10 (2014) will appear soon - meaning a tablet launch for the new OS. HTC looks like the front runner to bring this tablet to the market, so we're thinking that this could happen mid-2014, which puts it firmly on course to be made soon. Will it be known as a Nexus? The scheme is reportedly under threat, although in no way confirmed by Google. It does have the Play Editions of its devices, so we could see Android 5 side-launched on other devices - but we can't see that happening. Samsung's Android 5.0 upgrades Although Samsung is yet to officially confirm its Android 5.0 schedule, a SamMobile source is claiming to know which phones and tablets will be getting the upgrade. According to the source, the devices set to receive the upgrade are the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy Note 10.1. Do note that this claim was made before Google announced Android 4.4, so if it was ever correct, it's probably a lot less correct now. Android 5.0 features Android Geeks reported that Google Babble would debut on Android 5.0. Babble was the code name for Google's cross-platform service and app with the aim of unifying its various chat services which include Talk, Hangout, Voice, Messenger, Chat for Google Drive and Chat on Google+. A screenshot that we were sent from a Google employee on 8 April confirmed that not only was this unified chat service on the way, but that it was called Google Babel not Babble. On 10 May, we discovered that Babel would launch as Google Hangouts, and on 15 May we saw it come to life for devices running Android 2.3 and up. So much for it debuting on Android 5. A more recent idea is that Google's next version of Android will have more fitness smarts built in - and this is an idea we think has legs, if you'll pardon the sort-of pun. Apple is set to go big in this area with the iWatch and iOS 8, and other brands, such as Samsung and LG, are making strides too. The idea is future versions of Android will allow the software to harness "fitness data from sensors on your Android device." These could be built into future Android phones and tablets, but it's also likely that the API will play nicely with Android-based smartwatches and even Google Glass. Some have speculated that Android 5.0 will be actually Chrome OS, Google's high power operating system for its Chromebooks - that it would use Android for low- to mid-level handsets and put Chrome on the high end. However, this makes little sense given the effort that would be needed for app integration, so like Microsoft and Windows Phone the mobile OS will very likely continue as is. Android 5.0 interface While little is known about the potential interface changes for the next iteration of Google's mobile platform, be it Android 5.0 or Android 4.5, a screenshot has appeared online claiming to reveal the upcoming version. There's a clear visual overhaul present in the screenshot, and according to the leak the new design is being referred to as "Moonshine" internally at Google. Our Android 5.0 wishlist While we wait on more Android 5 features to be revealed and scour the web for more Android 5.0 news, TechRadar writer Gary Cutlack has been thinking about what we want to see in Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Hopefully the new mobile OS will feature some of these things... 1. Performance Profiles It's bit of a fuss managing your mobile before bed time. Switching off the sound, turning off data, activating airplane mode and so on, so what Android 5.0 really needs is a simple way of managing performance, and therefore power use, automatically. We've been given a taste of this with Blocking Mode in Samsung's Jelly Bean update on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Note 2 but we'd like to see the functionality expanded. Something like a Gaming mode for max power delivery, an Overnight low-power state for slumbering on minimal power and maybe a Reading mode for no bothersome data connections and a super-low backlight. Some hardware makers put their own little automated tools in, such as the excellent Smart Actions found within Motorola's RAZR interface, but it'd be great to see Google give us a simple way to manage states. Another little power strip style widget for phone performance profiles would be an easy way to do it. 2. Better multiple device support Google already does quite a good job of supporting serious Android nerds who own several phones and tablets, but there are some holes in its coverage that are rather frustrating. Take the Videos app which manages your film downloads through the Play Store. Start watching a film on one Android device and you're limited to resuming your film session on that same unit, making it impossible to switch from phone to tablet mid-film. You can switch between phone and web site players to resume watching, but surely Google ought to understand its fans often have a couple of phones and tabs on the go and fix this for Android Key Lime Pie? 3. Enhanced social network support Android doesn't really do much for social network users out of the box, with most of the fancy social widgets and features coming from the hardware makers through their own custom skins. Sony integrates Facebook brilliantly in its phones, and even LG makes a great social network aggregator widget that incorporates Facebook and Twitter - so why are there no cool aggregator apps as part of the standard Android setup? Yes, Google does a great job of pushing Google+, but, no offence, there are many other more widely used networks that ought to be a little better "baked in" to Android. 4. Line-drawing keyboard options Another area where the manufacturers have taken a big leap ahead of Google is in integrating clever alternate text entry options in their keyboards. HTC and Sony both offer their own takes on the Swype style of line-drawing text input, which is a nice option to have for getting your words onto a telephone. Get it into Android 5.0 and give us the choice. UPDATE: Google heard us and this feature appeared in Android 4.2. 5. A video chat app How odd is it that Google's put a front-facing camera on the Nexus 7 and most hardware manufacturers do the same on their phones and tablets, yet most ship without any form of common video chat app? You have to download Skype and hope it works, or find some other downloadable app solution. Why isn't there a Google Live See My Face Chat app of some sort as part of Android? Is it because we're too ugly? Is that what you're saying, Google? 6. Multi-select in the contacts The Android contacts section is pretty useful, but it could be managed a little better. What if you have the idea of emailing or texting a handful of your friends? The way that's currently done is by emailing one, then adding the rest individually. Some sort of checkbox system that let users scroll through names and create a mailing list on the fly through the contacts listing in Android Key Lime Pie would make this much easier. 7. Cross-device SMS sync If you're a constant SIM swapper with more than one phone on the go, chances are you've lost track of your text messages at some point. Google stores these on the phone rather than the SIM card, so it'd be nice if our texts could be either backed up to the SIM, the SD card, or beamed up to the magical invisible cloud of data, for easy and consistent access across multiple devices. 8. A "Never Update" option This would annoy developers so is unlikely to happen, but it'd be nice if we could refuse app updates permanently in Android 5.0, just in case we'd rather stick with a current version of a tool than be forced to upgrade. Sure, you can set apps to manual update and then just ignore the update prompt forever, but it'd be nice to know we can keep a favoured version of an app without accidentally updating it. Some of us are still using the beta Times app, for example, which has given free access for a year. 9. App preview/freebie codes Something Apple's been doing for ages and ages is using a promo code system to distribute free or review versions of apps. It even makes doing little competitions to drum up publicity for apps much easier, so why's there no similar scheme for Android? It might encourage developers to stop going down the ad-covered/freemium route if they could charge for an app but still give it away to friends and fans through a promo code system. 10. Final whinges and requests... It's be nice to be able to sort the Settings screen by alphabetical order, too, or by most commonly used or personal preference, as Android's so packed with a huge list of options these days it's a big old list to scroll through and pick out what you need. Plus could we have a percentage count for the battery in the Notifications bar for Android 5.0? Just so we know a bit more info than the vague emptying battery icon. No more constant score checking as BBC Sport apps get real-time goal alerts Apr 14th 2014, 20:24, by Chris Smith The BBC Sport apps for iOS and Android have been given a rather notable update for football fans tracking their club's fortunes during the final nail-biting weeks of the season. The apps now have the added bonus of real-time goal notifications for 150 domestic teams, allowing users to pick which they want to follow. The notifications, which take inspiration from the BBC News Breaking News updates, can also notify fans of kick-offs, half-time scores and full-time results as they happen depending on which are subscribed to. The BBC says it plans to add more alerts as time goes on, which would presumably include notable incidents like penalties, red cards. Put the phone down! The introduction of notifications will be much appreciated by football fans who find themselves glued to their smartphones when away from the home. The BBC says 71 per cent of its traffic on weekends comes through the mobile app as users continually refresh the app to check on sporting events. The knowledge that a timely alert will arrive when a goal is scored or the final whistle is blown may ease some of those sideways glances from family members when constantly viewing the app. Those with a Samsung Gear smartwatch may also enjoy the new functionality. BBC Playlister: What is it and why should you be using it? The iPhone 6 could be a lot more expensive than the 5S Apr 14th 2014, 19:30, by Hugh Langley Apple is looking to raise the price of the iPhone 6 by quite a stretch, according to a report from someone in the know. The word comes from Jefferies analyst Peter Misek who claims that Apple has been negotiating with mobile carriers about raising the iPhone 6 price by $100 (around £60, AU$106), instead of keeping the price consistent with the last model as it normally tends to do. So far though, he said, the carriers haven't been too receptive of the idea. Misek speculates that Apple may still get some on board due to an iPhone 6 being the only "headline-worthy high-end phone" to launch this year. But that's just conjecture on Misek's part. Apple already charges a premium for its handsets so we imagine carriers will push very hard to stop the prices being raised any higher. Sizing up the enemy Talk of two iPhone 6 variants - a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch - persists, so it's possible that Apple is just looking to up the price on the larger handset, although rumours right now suggests only the smaller will debut in September - with the bigger sibling arriving later down the line. The long-awaited Apple iWatch is also expected to arrive in September. Could Apple be pricing the iPhone 6 higher to keep the iWatch price down (after all, we expect the wearable to be a companion to the next iPhone)? Who knows... Everything you need to know about the iPhone 6 right now Latest iPhone 6 leak shows room for that 4.7-inch screen Apr 14th 2014, 19:15, by klee Just as reports of the iPhone 6's production ramp up, we're getting the inevitable leaks of images from inside the factory. With this latest image of iPhone 6 production molds picked up by Nowhereelse.fr, a larger, 4.7-inch iOS device seems even more certain than ever. The French tech site also superimposed images of the iPhone 4S alongside the molding plate to highlight the 6's larger size. Photoshopping an iPhone 5S inside the mold also revealed that while the device would be larger, it should still keep the same elongated proportions as Apple's current smartphone. If the shoe fits If this is indeed a mold being used to manufacture the iPhone 6, the new device would measure approximately 138mm x 64mm millimeters. With these observations we can surmise the screen size could be approximately 4.7-inches, just as we've noted previously. Curiously, though, the bottom portion of the mold measures 123mm x 58mm, the dimensions of the current iPhone 5S. With this in mind the mold could simply be one being used to produce current versions of the iPhone. Alternatively, since the plate has a sloped edge, it could mean the next iOS device will have an angled edge similar to the iPad 4. Despite the continuous leaks, it's much too early to circle anything definitively. WWDC is only a little more than a month and a half away, and it's here we're sure to hear more about what we can expect from the next iPhone. Here's everything we know about the other device Apple might announce at WWDC 2014, the iWatch T-Mobile drops domestic overage fees for all customers Apr 14th 2014, 17:50, by Kevin Lee Skipping Friday for some big phone launches, T-Mobile CEO John Legere has finally unveiled the last in a trio of announcements. This time, the carrier is doing away with domestic overage fees. The Un-carrier promises it's eradicating all domestic overage charges for its customers. This new policy applies to all users on T-Mobile's consumer plans whether it be a Simple Choice plan, the new Simple Starter, or an older plan. Overage fees will disappear for T-Mobile customers starting May 1, meaning they won't show up on your June bill. Challenging carriers Legere also tied the announcement with a Change.org petition calling for other carriers to do the same. "The Un-carrier is eliminating one of the most widely despised wireless industry practices," Legere said in a statement. "And I'm also laying down a challenge to my counterparts at AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, to do the same." No stranger to leading social media uprisings, Legere previously introduced T-Mobile's "Jump!" upgrade program with a call to arms on Twitter using the hashtag #Hate2Wait. It should be interesting to see how Verizon, AT&T and Sprint move in reaction to all these new initiatives. As we've seen previously, all the other carriers quickly implemented their own early upgrade services soon after Jump! was announced last July The total package T-Mobile has made some major strides to change up its plans and give customers more bang for their buck. Last week, Legere started this latest Un-carrier push by unveiling a new $40/month Simple Starter plan with unlimited talk and text, plus 500MB of 4G data. It followed up the next day with Operation Tablet Freedom, giving 4G LTE tablet users, who also have a voice plan with the company, 1.2GB of free mobile data. The Un-carrier also promised to offer 4G-connected tablets for the same price as their Wi-Fi-only variants. On April 11, the company put things on hold for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8. It offered the two new high-end Android phones for nothing down with no annual service contract and no extra fees attached. Legere also promised he has something even bigger planned for later this year with a new Un-carrier 5.0 initiative. Stay tuned for more. The iPhone 6 is the next phone you should keep your eyes on Does this purported iOS 8 screenshot out the iWatch? Or is it a fake? Apr 14th 2014, 17:04, by Chris Smith A new screenshot, claiming to show the forthcoming iOS 8 operating system, may offer some insight into a couple of hotly-anticipated rumoured Apple products. Within the screenshot, which emerged on Chinese social media this weekend, is an app called Watch Utility that, it's fair to assume would give iOS users access to the settings on the as-yet-unannounced iWatch. The picture also, shows a homescreen that is five icons wide. That would play into reports that the iPhone 6 will offer a larger display with a differing aspect ratio, compared to the one currently featuring on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. Lack of polish? However, whether the screenshot is the genuine article is another matter altogether. While the rest of the app icons appear to show familiar iOS 7-like designs, there's something that's not quite as polished as the Watch Utility icon, which sits in the centre of the dock within the screenshot. The screenshot also features the Healthbook app, which has been purportedly revealed in previous leaks. Do you think this picture is the real deal? Or is a hoax merchant at work? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. Video: Here's how the iPhone 6 should look
