Apple enthusiasts mark your calendars because in the upcoming weeks, the newest iPhone 6 will be the focal point of Apple’s upcoming launch event. The newest addition to Apple’s next-generation iPhone family will be unveiled for the world to see on September 9, if rumors are to be believed.
The iPhone 6 is set to innovate the classic style iPhone most users have grown accustomed to. The 4-inch screen that came with the iPhone 5s will receive a slight boost to the display screen. Rumors are that the company plans on releasing the iPhone 6 in two sizes.
The first would be a slighter larger screen with a 4.7-inch display. Sources report that Apple may attempt to compete with competitor Samsung’s Galaxy series with a similar sized screen that would be about 5.5 inches or about the size of a Galaxy Note 3. That might be rolled out after the initial iPhone 6 launch to claim a stake in the emerging “phablet” market. On top of a larger screen, Apple plans on using a crystal sapphire screen to minimize the number of scratched and cracked screens. The crystal sapphire screen reportedly holds up even when jabbed with a knife.
Other additions to the phone will focus on improving the camera quality and speed, with a faster A8 processor for iOS8. Apple is consistent with their 8 megapixel camera but could possibly upgrade to 13 megapixels for crisper, clearer photos and videos.
A faster processor for the phone equals more access to photos and videos in the iCloud plus better connectivity between Apple devices. No talk about giving the iPhone a power boost with a battery life has surfaced. With all these additions, surely the iPhone user should keep those chargers close by.
While users wait for the official announcement of the iPhone 6, plans for a smartwatch has been announced. But who wants a phone on their wrist? Let’s just wait for the iPhone 6 to be unveiled in September.
