Leaked HTC Aero handset looks exactly like iPhone 6

PanARMENIAN.Net - HTC is believed to be working on a budget version of the HTC One M9, and it appears the device has just been photographed alongside an iPhone 6, Digital Spy reports.

Leaked onto Twitter by @stagueve, the so-called HTC Aero is near-identical to the Apple handset, with the same rounded corners and horizontal lines on the rear.

Playing spot the difference, the placement of the rear camera is central on the HTC device, rather than left aligned like on the latest iPhone.

Internal specs for the HTC Aero are yet to be revealed, but reports suggest that the handset could feature a superior display to the flagship M9.

The phone has been tipped to include a Gorilla Glass 4 screen with a 1440 x 2560 resolution, a significant upgrade on the M9's 1080p screen.

In June, HTC was forced to lower its second-quarter sales forecast by 30% to $1 billion due to lacklustre sales of the One M9.

Company chairwoman Cher Wang apologised to investors for the company's first-quarter market performance and confirmed that a new smartphone is in the works.
