Fresh leaks about the specs of the hotly anticipated iPhone 6 have appeared online as Amazon Japan appears to have jumped the gun.
With a rumoured release date for the new handset widely believed to be September 19, the website allegedly listed the 4.7 inch device, despite it not having been officially launched.
Some of the specs believed to have been revealed on the site include confirming rumours of a 4.7 inch display, listing dimensions at 13 x 6.5 x 0.7cm and stating a weight of 113 grams.
The device was allegedly listed at a purchase price of 139,999 Japanese Yen - which equates to around £805 for the 64GB model.
It appears that Amazon Japan have since removed the listing - fuelling rumours that there might be truth in the information.
With the tech giant keeping most of the details under wraps about the upcoming device, here are some more rumours currently doing the rounds.
The 5.5 inch model and 'Sapphire Glass'
The new iPhone 6 will allegedly feature Sapphire Glass - but only on the larger model.
Apple are rumoured to be producing two different sized versions of the phone at their launch this autumn however, only one of the devices will be using the advanced screen.
The tech-giant's 5.5inch model will be kitted out with Sapphire Glass according to suppliers.
Taiwanese supply chain insiders have said that the larger version is being manufactured with the super strong material.
If used, the feature will ultimately make the phone resistant to scratches. This will come in handy for those who buy the expanded version of the device and want to store is safely.

The iPhone 6 may be able to track weather according to codes found within its operating system.
Yet-to-be-released iOS 8 includes frameworks for a barometer, meaning it would be able to predict the atmosphere around the device.
This would allow users to track the weather, altitude and air pressure wherever they go.
The discovery was made by Apple-tracking website 9to5Mac which spotted multiple references to the feature when analysing the operating system.
It was then tested by FutureTap developer Ortwin Gentz who tried to add the information onto Apple's most recent handset, the iPhone 5s.
