iPhone 6 is not far off now, and various leaks keep popping up in the media. This time around, some industrious folks decided to give the leaks a rest and instead focus on showing how the existing iOS looks on existing 4.7-inch displays.

Essentially making an iPhone 6 without the rest of Apple’s planned new features, Dom Esposito went ahead and used the rumored screen specifications of the iPhone 6 to create a blown-up version of iOS 7 and showcase it on an existing smartphone with a 4.7-inch display.

Esposito explains: “I was curious to know exactly how iOS would be represented on a 4.7-inch display, so I decided to make an iPhone 6 simulator. This ‘simulator’ takes the 4.7-inch Moto X and places it behind what is rumored to be the bezel for Apple's upcoming iPhone 6. It has been reported that most of the user-interface will be upscaled with the possibility of certain apps being revamped to take advantage of the extra space.”

Indeed, Apple will not increase the screen real estate only to give us bigger icons to tap on. Various apps will get notable UI upgrades thanks to the bigger display, while game developers will most likely be thrilled to have more space to work with. So what do you guys think of this demo?
