The iPhone 5S’s and iPhone 5C’s wrappers
have just been removed, but people cannot wait to pay their attention to the
next generation iPhone- iPhone 6 maybe. iPhone 6 rumor has been spreading around.
Here’s everything we’ve heard so far about iPhone 6. If you are interested in
iPhone, you might as well have a look.
Screen
Size
Seemingly, there is no suspense that Apple
will adopt larger screen on the next generation of iPhone, but there are many
claims on the specific size. According to the latest rumor, iPhone 6 will
feature display ranging from 4.7-5.7 inches. If it were 5.7 inches, it means
iPhone 6 will become a Phablet like Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Anyway, Marco Arment
who is Instapaper developer, as well as Rene Ritchie who is iMore
Editor-in-Chief, said it would be one logical choice to make it 4.94 inches.
They agree that 4.94-inch display allows retaining the current 1136 X 640
resolution while increasing the iPhone’s size and brings the same 264 ppi as
iPad Air. However, this pixel density obviously doesn’t meet the standard of
Retina.
Sapphire Glass
When it comes to the display technology, it
predicts that iPhone 6 will continue the Low Temperature Poly Silicon
technology which the current iPhone is using. Although Apple has used IGZO on
iPad Air and iPad Mini 2, which makes the display thinner and saves power, LTPS
technology seems to be superior to IGZO on electron mobility. So, we believe
that LTPS technology will still be used in iPhone 6.
It is rumored that sapphire glass is
probably used for iPhone 6 instead of Corning Gorila Glass which is used for
current iPhones. Due to its expensive price, Sapphire glass is just used for
small iPhone elements such as camera lens and the Home button. However, Apple
has recently announced cooperation with GT Advanced, which makes it possible to
use sapphire glass for future iPhone displays.
Others
As
for the core hardware, it is reported that iPhone 6 will use a quad-core A8
processor. And since Apple’s iOS usually updates alongside new iPhone launches,
Apple is likely to apply iOS 8 to iPhone 6. But some rumors indicate
improvements to Maps as well as Siri API. In addition, iPhone 6 could have
wireless charging capabilities like Nokia, LG and HTC. As for entertainment, it
is believed that it has no update on video and audio supported formats, which
means to view flash content is still not that easy. Downloaded flash .swf is
still unplayable on iPhone unless you convert .swf to .mp4 or h.264, etc, or install flash supported browser
for viewing online flash content.
iPhone
6C
According to the recent rumors, iPhone 6
will be released in late 2014, alongside with iPhone 6C. It is rumored that Apple will continue the
strategy of bifurcating its iPhone lineup as it released iPhone 5S and iPhone
5C at the same time. iPhone 6C could be in different sizes from iPhone 6 and
come in multiple sizes with relatively lower cost.
