iPhone 6 Concept |
Everyone's eyes are currently on the brand-new Apple launch event, which should see the last products that are going to be released this year. While the iPhone 6 isn't going to be among the list of products, by seeing the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display we'll get a better idea of what Apple's been working on for its new iOS device.
From the information we have from the recently launched iPhone 5s , iPhone 5c and iOS 7, we should get a better idea of what Apple is planning for its next smartphone, the iPhone 6.
Of everything that we know now, the biggest bit of information is that the iPhone 6 is going to have a larger screen than the iPhone 5S. Although sales of the iPhone are high, the Android competition has all moved to large-screen Full HD models, with the HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S4, so it makes sense for Apple to compete on screen size.
In this article we are talking about all of the iPhone 6 rumours. We'll give you all the current information on the release date, price and specs.
iPhone 6 Release Date:
Guessing Apple's release dates is a complete expert's work, with practically every prediction wrong. It's clear, given that the iPhone 5S was only released in September, that we're not going to see the iPhone 6 until 2014 now ( I think).Apple usually has products on sale for a year, but the iPhone 6 feels like a different proposition to us. Rather than a replacement for an existing iPhone, it's more of an addition to the new line-up. We kind of see it replication what Samsung has with the full-size Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, with the exception that Apple's small phone, the 5S and 5C is still really powerful.
Tim Cook said. "Our teams are hard at work on some amazing new hardware, software, and services that we can’t wait to introduce this fall and throughout 2014," Cook also said. As we know now, the products Cook was talking about are being released on the 22nd October and include the iPad 5 (iPad Air) and iPad Mini 2.
That would seem to be it for 2013, so we're going to have to wait until 2014 for the iPhone 6.
If you will ask a date, we'd say that early next year, between March and May would make sense. This would give Apple enough distance from the iPhone 5S, and give it a chance to take the glorylight away from Samsung, which will be looking to release its Galaxy S5 ( Probably with this name) handset around the same time.
iPhone 6 A7 SoC:
At this time, the Apple A7 system-on-a-chip (SoC) is the main focus for the Apple company. This is the first 64-bit mobile chip and it's extremely fast. In fact, n using the iPhone 5S, we found that the A7 is by far the fastest mobile processor. Apple has now used the A7 chip in both the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display (Newly Launched).

Keeping that in mind we would expect to see the same A7 chip used in the new iPhone 6. However, the only caveat is when the phone comes out. If it's early next year then we'd expect the A7 chip to be used as is; if the release date is closer to the end of next year, then we might see a tweaked version of A7, maybe a quad-core variant.
