iPhone 6 clones on the market ahead of Apple


Months before the awaited announcement and release of Apple's next flagship phone (rumored the iPhone 6), clones of the device, dubbed the Wico i6 and Goophone i6 have already surfaced on the market.

Chinese clone handset makers beat the Cupertino based company in releasing their latest products even before the final specifications of the rumored iPhone 6 have been officially released.

Wico i6 was announced by 86digi.com accompanied with a video showing a demo of the actual device. Aside from the interesting background music, the video shows a device that, at first glance, looks a lot like the ‘leaked’ 4.7-inch version of the iPhone 6. The said clone features a 960x1704 resolution and runs with a quad-core processor with 32GB memory and 2 GB or ram.


As you can see on the video, Wico i6 is very detailed as its body closely resembles (aside from its side-mounted power button) the leaked design of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 with its slightly modified volume buttons and curved edges. Its interface also closely resembles that of an iPhone but of course, what you see is not the anticipated iOS 8 but rather a heavily modded Android KitKat.

Another iPhone 6 clone that has been making a buzz over the internet (via GizChina.com) recently is the GooPhone i6 which is set to be on the market next month. When you look at their website, you can see that GooPhone.net not only sells the iPhone copy but also clones of HTC and Samsung products.


GooPhone i6 boasts a 4.7-inch IPS display with a 960x540 resolution, a 5 MP front and 13 MP rear camera. The iPhone clone is said to run on a quad-core Mediatek MT6582 chipset with 1 GB or RAM and 8 GB memory. Similar to the other GooPhone clones, the GooPhone i6 is powered by Android.

With the iPhone 5s nearing its first birthday, and basing on recent events concerning next-generation releases of the iPhone, Apple is set to announce their next flagship device this September. But even before the smartphone innovator has commented about it, leaks of their supposed new devices have been circulating over the internet. Yes, devices. Leaks have shown that the Apple iPhone 6 would come in 2 variants: 4.7- and 5.5-inch models. But everything is still yet to be confirmed by Apple itself. The leaked pictures, however, have been the sources of the design and looks of the iPhone 6 clones that we have today.
