Anticipatory anxiety is the worst, and we can relate to that. There are so many rumors and leaked information regarding iPhone 6 that it is next to impossible to distinguish what is right and wrong about the phone. Also the information is spread vastly over the internet which makes it difficult for people to follow the latest news regarding the phone. So we have compiled all the information we could find about the upcoming phone which will allow you to stay updated.
There is not much to say regarding the rumors that iPhone was to be released early in the year except for the fact that evidently they were incorrect. We now have some conclusive information regarding the release. The phone will be released in September, a year from the release of the iPhone 5s. In fact, we even have a launch date which was initially reported by MacRumours: Friday, 19th September 2014.
I’m sure many of you remember the rumors about Apple releasing different versions of the phone. That was initially true however we cannot say with assurity how that is exactly going to work and more recent information suggests that we may be only seeing the 4.7 inch version and the much anticipated 5.7 inch screen is facing delays due to practical technological problems. The scratch resistant sapphire front panel is also proving to be cumbersome, especially for the larger screen version. However there are still some who are convinced that Apple will release both versions at the same time, what can we say? Only time will ensure certainty.
We also know that Apple has struck a deal with GT Advanced technologies to manufacture sapphire glass at a plant situated in Arizona. Well, it’s not technically glass but it’s infinitely more durable than glass which will ensure that the iPhone is extremely difficult to crack or break.
Moving on to the camera, talk of Optical Image Stabilization was being passed around and the China Post quoted Nomura Securities who stated that Apple may adopt the OIS option with an 8MP camera instead of the rumored 16 MP camera. It seems plausible, in fact, probable that there may be differences in camera between the two models.

With the increasing demand for a bigger display, Apple has finally started to conform to popular opinion and come up with the idea of releasing a phablet and a phone. As mentioned above the phablet should have a 5.7 inch display while the phone should have one about 4.7 inches. While this seems pretty much set in stone, uncertainty surround the information regarding resolution. Typically we would expect Apple to make phones with similar resolutions for practical reasons such as ease for developers and ensuring a standardized way for apps to work for both devices however the increasing competition coupled with the fact that Apple will have to compete with the already released flagship phones like Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, Sony Xperia Z2 and Moto X2 we cannot conclusively say what Apple intends to do. Business Insider has reported a rather interesting rumor which suggests that Apple may use the quantum dot technology to achieve more accurate colors. This technology is not completely new as it has been previously used in Kindle Fire HDX and an apparent weakness of this technology is that some people complain of a light bleed around the edge of the screen.
Previously Apple used the same design for two similar products: 5S and 5C. Considering the expected size difference in both version of the upcoming iPhone 6 it seems obvious that the phones will be built differently. Most rumors speak of iPhone 6 taking design ques from the iPod Nano and the iPhone 5c. However since this will be a high end smartphone it will be made from metal which bring the anodized aluminum body of the iPod Nano to mind. Furthermore, we are likely to see more colors and smoother edges compared to the 5S. That’s it for now, we genuinely hope with all our mind and soul that the intense anticipation is not a complete waste and Apple rewards the patience of its loyal customers with something amazing.
