A First Look at the New Gold iPhone 6

In the video, we get a first look at the alleged iPhone 6 rear backing. As expected, it's bigger than the current iPhone model, thinner, and has rounded corners and a redesigned back antenna. But what we didn't anticipate was how much the iPhone 6 shell would look like the HTC One M8.
