No, you’re not looking at an iPhone, the image you see above is straight from Huawei’s Facebook page. It was uploaded there 17 hours ago with the following caption:

#Ascend P6 Story# We do everything to the fullest. The Huawei Ascend P6 challenges all phones to be the thinnest, smallest, and one of the most compact smart phones with a screen that can rival it’s competitors. (Diazepam) Care to guess how large the screen to body ratio is? Well on June 18th, Huawei will unleash an intimate experience to consumers.

So there you go, we now know, with 100% certainty, that Huawei will announce a device called the P6 at their even in London next month, and that it looks remarkably similar to an iPhone. Is that a bad thing? Yes and no. Yes, it’s bad to steal ideas, but you know what? A lot of people like the iPhone, but they wish it had a larger screen and ran Android.

I’m not one of those people. I want a larger iPhone that runs iOS, but I’m weird.
