iPhone 6 Release date

Everything we've heard so far about iPhone
6
When Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 , the
reaction was a bit muted: where previous
phones were massive leaps forward, the
iPhone 5 was a bit longer and a lot easier to
scratch.
So what can we expect from the next
iPhone, the iPhone 6 or 5S? Let's see what
we can glean from the varying sources of
the internet - some reliable, some not so
much.
One thing is for sure, with the release of
such super handsets as the Samsung Galaxy
S4 , Sony Xperia Z and HTC One , the next
iPhone will have to seriously up its game.

iPhone 6 and the iPhone 5S are two
different phones

The rumour mill doesn't seem too sure
whether the next iPhone is going to be the
iPhone 5S or the iPhone 6. Given the
iPhone's history - from the 3G onwards,
there's always been a half-step S model
before the next numbered iPhone - we'd bet
on an iPhone 5S first and an iPhone 6 a
while later.
It's been suggested that there could even be
three size variants of the new iPhone - check
out these mocked up images by artist Peter
Zigich. He calls the handsets iPhone 6 Mini,
iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 XL.
Could we see both an iPhone 5S and iPhone
6 this year? Some reports suggest a new 5S
in the middle part of the year before a
revamped iPhone 6 towards the end of the
year or very early in 2014.


iPhone 6 release date

Many pundits predict a summer iPhone 6
release date. It's quite likely that Apple is
moving to a two-phones-per-year upgrade
cycle, but we'd bet on a springtime 5S
model and a bigger, iPhone 6, update in the
Autumn, probably September.
Digitimes reckons predicts a summertime
reveal for Apple's next generation phones,
which again fits with a WWDC unveiling. In
May it became clear that US carrier Verizon
introduced an iPhone 5 price cut of as much
as $100 USD.
Reports in April also suggested that
Foxconn has added as many as 10,000
assembly line workers per week to its
Zhengzhou plant as it readies itself for the
iPhone 6 release date.
But Jefferies analyst Peter Misek reckons
we'll see an iPhone 5S first, with a June
2014 release for the iPhone 6. Citi's Glen
Yeung also believes that we won't see an
iPhone 6 or cheap iPhone until 2014.


iPhone 6 cases

Multiple rumours say Apple's working on
plastic cases for its next iPhone, mixing
plastic and metal in such a way that "the
internal metal parts [are] able to be seen
from outside through special design."
It's unclear whether such cases would be for
the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6, or if Apple is
simply considering making cheaper iPhone
4s to sell when the iPhone 3GS reaches the
end of its life.
Speaking in March 2013, a KGI analyst said
it believed Apple would turn to manufacturer
Pegatron to make up to 75 per cent of low
cost iPhone products.
