This week iPhone 6 rumors point to a fall release date and start to show us more about the possible size of an iPhone 6. Catch up on the latest iPhone 6 rumors and learn what is worth believing in this quick look at the latest iPhone 6 rumors.
The iPhone 6 is a new iPhone for 2014, with rumors of a larger iPhone dating back to 2012. Last week we shared 10 important iPhone 6 details that emerged in March, and this week we are taking a look back at the biggest rumors of the week and a feature that shows how iOS 8 and an iPhone 6 could combine to deliver an amazing large screen experience.
With all Apple rumors, not everything we hear about an iPhone 6 is believable, but combined even conflicting reports can help shape what potential buyers can expect from Apple later this year.
iPhone 6 Rumor Roundup
Here is a look back at the important iPhone 6 rumors from this week, and one that shouldn’t be believed. The latest iPhone 6 rumors agree on certain items, like a fall release, but the size of the iPhone 6 is still up in the air, which is not surprising with six months before a likely release date.
iPhone 6 Design Sample is Too Odd
A pair of photos from a case company in Japan kicked off the week showing what they claim is an iPhone 6 design sample made to test the fit of cases, next to an iPhone 5s and iPhone 5.
Inconsistencies like the circular flash, as well as the early arrival make this a questionable sample.
It is very early in the game for a leaked iPhone 6 design sample like this to show up, even one that a case company makes on their own based on leaks. When we first showed readers the new iPhone 5 design with a similar sample in 2012, it was much closer to the actual iPhone release date. It turned out to be right on the money, which is not something we are comfortable saying about this leak.
iPhone 6 Release Date, Price and Screen Details
We often learn about new iPhone 6 details through analysts who source information from various supply chain sources. These analysts are not always perfect, but based on past performance we learn which one offers cautious and calculated information about upcoming Apple products. Analysts typically share notes with investors that pay for an inside edge, and parts of these notes are often republished or in this case discussed on a financial TV program.
Steve Milunovich, an Analyst with UBS tells investors that the June is not going to be when we see a new iPhone, and that August or September are prime candidates for an iPhone 6 release date. Milunovich is also unsure of two iPhone 6 models at the same time with larger screens, and he believes the iPhone 6 price will stay the same.
iPhone 6 Sapphire Display
Three iPhone 6 rumors arrived in the middle of the week detailing the iPhone 6 Sapphire display. The display information is the most exciting as it comes form a recently granted Apple patent for putting a oil and fingerprint resistant coating on a Sapphire display.Rumors suggest Apple is planning to put a Sapphire display cover on the iPhone 6. This is the most believable iPhone 6 rumor to date due to a large half a billion dollar investment in GT Advanced Technologies last year and a note from Apple to push progress forward for a critical component. Apple Insider discovered the patent and an analyst that monitors the Sapphire industry believes this will allow Apple to bulk coat screens.
The iPhone 6 battery orders are in and assembly may be automated according to new rumors.
The reports don’t mention the battery size and capacity, which would deliver details that could help shape the overall picture of the iPhone 6 features and size. DigiTimes often reports industry gossip that is not always on the mark so we look at this publication to corroborate other reports.
