iPhone 6 Release Date Set For September Boasts Apple Partner

The CEO of a company that partnered with Apple to sell the iPhone in Russia claims the iPhone 6 release date is in September 2014.
This is the second Apple partner to point to the fall for an iPhone 6 release date and the most direct iPhone 6 release date claim from a company that plates an instrumental role in helping Apple sell the iPhone in Russia.

While this iPhone 6 release date rumor focuses on Russia, it points to a potential U.S. release as well, possibly in the August rime-frame that an analyst predicted last week. Apple typically releases an iPhone in the several countries including the U.S. and then rolls it out to additional countries in the weeks following. The iPhone 5s arrived in Russia a month after the U.S. release.

Svyaznoy is large cell phone sales company in Russia that partnered with Apple to sell the iPhone during a dispute with Russian carriers. The iPhone is now sold at carriers and through an official Apple website, similar to the U.S. model of selling the iPhone. iDownloadBlog shares an interview from a Russian TV program where Maxim Nogotkov, the CEO of Svyaznoy says,

That is the most direct statement we’ve heard about an iPhone 6 release date in any country. This lines up with the many iPhone 6 rumors that arrive each week, and while it is a statement from a CEO it is far from a confirmation of Apple’s plans.

 iPhone 6 release date rumors start to agree on September.

This report comes as we start to hear rumblings about iPhone 6 production plans ramping up with new hires and with potential expansions at the Sapphire plant operated by the other Apple partner. The Sapphire plant is operated by GT Advanced technologies, which recently provided earnings guidance to investors that hints at a fall iPhone 6 release date.

Apple is notoriously secretive about iPhone launches and releases, but an annual upgrade cycle and supply chain slips often help nail down a date ahead of the official announcement. In previous years Gotta Be Mobile source pointed to the iPhone release shortly before the iPhone announcement, but never this far in advance.

An iPhone 6 release date in September is a common claim, which may be where Nogotkov is getting his information, rather than Apple. Still, it is worth noting when the CEO of a major Russian handset retailer claims to know the iPhone 6 release date.

At least one analyst or leak per week arrives with claims that the iPhone 6 release date is planned for the fall. Here is a quick rundown of the latest iPhone 6 release date rumors to arrive.

  • iPhone 6 release date as early as September – Nikkei
  • iPhone 6 release date in August or September - Steve Milunovich UBS via Barrons
  • iPhone 6 release in the fall - Andy Hargreaves at Pacific Crest via Business Insider
  • iPhone 6 scheduled for third quarter 2014 – ZDNet Korea
These are just the release rumors for March that are plausible. Early rumors pointed to dates throughout 2014, but as we move past end of March analysts and leaks are all pointing further into the year.

iPhone 6 rumors point to two iPhone models with larger displays. Analysts and leaks mostly agree that Apple is working on two screen sizes for the new iPhone, and often agree on a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 model. They don’t always agree on the timing of a larger iPhone 6 and whether the screen is a 5.5-inch or 5.7-inch size. For the latest, check out the iPhone 6 rumors you can believe and 10 important iPhone 6 details that arrived in March.

 
 

We start this list out with a device that isn't a rumored smartphone but one that is going to be landing on shelves in just a few weeks.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is Samsung's upcoming flagship and its a device that will serve as a replacement for the Galaxy S4. While the Galaxy S5 isn't sporting a QHD display or a metal design, it does have some very likeable features including a 16MP camera with fast auto-focus, gorgeous display and yes, a dust and water resistant design.
We've only spent a little bit of time with the Samsung Galaxy S5 but we came away impressed. This is a smartphone that we think has a chance to be special and it should certainly be on the radar given that it will be landing in the U.S. on April 11th.

Is this the First Look at the iPhone 6?


Three new photos show what could be the first look at a new iPhone 6 with rounded edges and more iPad Air-like design that features more metal and a camera that sticks out the back like an iPod touch.
Three photos leaked on a Chinese social media site that are reportedly from inside Foxconn, where Apple makes the iPhone. Two of the photos show what could be an iPhone 6 in some type of machining area and a third shows a diagram that points to specific parts of a new iPhone design.
A leaked photo in February turned out to be a fake. It is impossible to tell if these photos of a screen, not of an actual device, are the real deal. They look similar to leaked schematics that appeared online last week and which were part of an iPhone 6 concept. This could corroborate the earlier leak or this could simply be a fake created with the schematic.
 Three possible iPhone 6 photos arrive from China.
 
GforGames spotted these three potential iPhone 6 photos on Weibo. This is a social networking site that is popular in China and is often the source of leaked device photos and rumors. This is the first major leak the Gotta Be Mobile team covered from this source, so it is not possible to add any certainty to the poster’s claims.

The two potential iPhone 6 photos that include a metal case show a design that shares curves with the iPad Air and the iPad mini. These are much different than the straight sides and chamfered edges of the iPhone 5s.The back of this iPhone 6 design features small breaks in the metal design at the top and the bottom of the iPhone were glass sits on the current iPhone. This part of the design is similar to the new HTC One M8 that uses two similar areas to allow antennas to function better in a metal smartphone
A potential iPhone 6 photo.
It appears the lens of the camera protrudes a little bit based on the sketch photo, and slightly on the photo above which shows the design in better lighting. It appears that the pill shaped flash is missing, which would be a very odd move for Apple after using the dual-LED flash as a selling point for the iPhone 5s.

The background in the photos appears to be part of a machine that may play a role in finishing the overall look of this device. In the iPhone 5 design video Apple showed a machine that finished the edges of the iPhone on a small pedestal. This is not an exact match, but perhaps it is a glimpse at a similar style machine that is not propped for a film crew.
The iPhone 6 is the name given to the new iPhone for 2014 by potential buyers, press and analysts. Rumors suggest Apple is planning an iPhone 6 with a larger display with a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch model most often rumored. The iPhone 6 release date is rumored for fall.
