Another day, another set of iPhone 6 leaked images of questionable origin, and these show some never before seen features like an Apple logo that can't be tarnished, sleeker volume buttons and a raised camera ring.

The first set comes from luxury iPhone product manufacturer Feld & Volk, which claim to have images of the finished 4.7-inch iPhone 6 (the smaller one).

They offer good close-ups of the new handset, in particularly its logo which the company claims is made of a "very extraordinary" scratch-resistant metal, meaning no matter how much you (or rivals) assault the Apple, it can't be hurt.
