If you thought the 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus was too big, then look away now. Recent rumours suggest Apple is working on a massive 5.8-inch iPhone, called the iPhone Pro.\u00a0A schematic showing the purported design surfaced this week, when it was published by Japanese\u00a0magazine Mac Fan<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The design appears to be similar to the recent iPhone 6 and 6S, but reproduced at a larger scale. The diagrams show some\u00a0big changes\u00a0as well, including\u00a0a dual-lens rear camera and the removal of the 3.5mm jack —\u00a0as has been rumoured<\/a> for some time. The dual-lens rear camera is particularly interesting, particularly given the recent popularity of similar designs in Android flagships like the LG G5<\/a> and Huawei P9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The schematic also shows a Smart Connector on the back of the iPhone, which would presumably allow it to charge accessories like keyboard cases<\/a>, or to be charged itself by battery cases<\/a> or docks\u00a0without blocking the Lightning port (which is now doubly useful, as this port is the only option for wired headphones as well).<\/p>\n

The schematic also doesn’t include antenna lines, suggesting that Apple has found a way to move these or make them less visible while still allowing for proper cellular connectivity.<\/p>\n

Mac Fan<\/em> has a good history on leaks as well, suggesting that this latest release may be accurate. They posted schematics of the iPad Pro back in 2014, a full year ahead of its eventual announcement, which were exactly correct apart from the tablet’s name (which could easily have changed since their leak).<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the iPhone Pro at Apple’s traditional September iPhone event, although perhaps once again we’ll see it under a different name.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the proposed design? Let us know in the comments below, or write to us on Twitter @mobilefun<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n
