Another day, another iPhone 6 rumor: The folks at Apple device customizer Feld & Volk released a photograph of what it says is Cupertino's upcoming smartphone.

Posted to Instagram on Tuesday, the shot shows tapered edges connecting to a rounded rear shell—more reminiscent of the iPod than recent iPhones. There's a Lightning connector port, 3.5mm headset jack, and speaker holes.

MacRumors secured some additional shots, which show off the phone's top, side, and display. Last week, MacRumors highlighted several other shots from Feld & Volk, which provided close-ups of the power button and mute switch, both with a silver metal finish also expected to cover the volume buttons.

iPhone 6 LeakAccording to Feld & Volk, certain components now pivot slightly on internal pins to better fit the iPhone 6's rounded edges. Even the SIM card tray comes coated in the same silver metal finish, to blend in with the rest of the device, and make you feel extra fancy when replacing the SIM.

The shots come several weeks before Apple's rumored Sept. 9 event, where the company is expected to announce its next iPhone (or iPhones).

Early this week, more leaked photos—this time from China—suggested the 4.7-inch "iPhone 6" will run on an 1,810mAh lithium-ion polymer battery. For comparison, the flagship 5s sports a 1,440mAh battery. A second report said Cupertino's phablet-sized iPhone, also referred to by Taiwanese blog Apple Daily as the "iPhone 6L," will have a 2,915mAh battery.

Other reveals tip a reversible USB plug, which, as 9to5Mac noted, would let you insert a plug in either direction. Plus, G4Games said the next-gen iPhone will only have 1GB of RAM.

New iPhone reports have been emerging for months, indicating a new, more rugged sapphire display screen and a light-up logo for notifications, among other things.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
