Rumours and expectations about Apple iPhone 6


Apple usually every year launches a new smartphone and this time many expects its upcoming device will be named as iPhone 6. The web world is already quite abuzz with news of the purported Apple iPhone 6.

We have here summarised all these rumours that you should know about the upcoming iPhone model.

First of all, Apple till 2010 used to launch its handsets in the June (iPhone 1st Gen in June 2007 while iPhone 3G in June 2008) or July ( iPhone 3GS in July 2009, and iPhone 4 July 2010). However, since 2011, it shifted the cycle to September-October - iPhone 4s (October 2011), iPhone 5 (September 2012), iPhone 5s (September 2013). So going by this product cycle of Apple, we can assume that the iPhone 6 may be announced this September. Since Apple iPhone 5s launched in India October last year, soon after its global launch in the previous month, we expect iPhone 6 to hit Indian shores immediately after its global launch as well.

Though the launch time is quite expected, it is the screen size of iPhone 6 that is keeping all on their toes. Apple has till now stuck to the 4 inch size in its iPhone models even when all other handset makers have moved to 5+ inch screen segment especially when it comes to flagship devices. Many analysts expect the iPhone 6 to come with a bigger screen - 4.5 to 6 inch.

Apple has taken utmost care about the resolution of its devices. In iPhone 5s, the 4 inch screen has 1136 x 640 Pixels resolution, which translates to 326 ppi pixel density. So if iPhone 6 at all comes with a 6 inch touchscreen, it might have full HD resolution and in case of a 4.5 or 5 inch screen, Apple might arm it with HD resolution.
