iPhone 6 relse date, news and rumorsUpdated Everything we've hrd so far about the new iPhone 6 Is an even bigger iPhone on the way?Related storiesThose iPhone 6 photos were just renders after alliPhone 6 with 4.9" screen reportedly roaming the testing groundsiPhone 6 could launch in June as A8 chip production ramps upThe new iPhone could be one of the most pivotal devices in the Cupertino brand's history - with the the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C simple updates to previous models, there's a lot of pressure ed on the iPhone 6.
As per usual, the internet is awash with rumor, speculation and downright lies over this next-eration handset, which is why we spend our time trawling through ch nugget of info, debating its merits and curating it into this sy-to-rd hub for all things iPhone 6.
iOS 7: 's new look for iPhone and iPadSome of you might have been expecting the iPhone 6 to have debuted in 2013, but given the iPhone's history - from the 3G onwards, there's always been a half-step S model before the next ed iPhone - we were never going to get the 6 until 2014. In fact, it will technically be the iPhone 8 by that point... but hey, who's counting these days?
One thing is for sure, with the Galaxy S5, One 2 and Xperia Z2 just around the corner, will need to be on its game with the new handset - and many believe a bigger screen is simply a must.
Cut to the chase
What is it? A major revision of the iPhone including entire design
When is it out? September 2014, maybe as rly as June for a larger 'iPhablet'
What will it cost? Expect premium pricing for a premium smartphoneiPhone 6 relse dateThe iPhone 6 relse date will be in 2014, although exactly when that will be in the yr is still a little unclr.
Here's what we think is most likely to happen: at WWDC in June this yr we'll see the obvious relse of iOS 8, but also a larger-screened iPhablet as looks to bring itself to the fore in Asian markets and rivalling the likes of the Galaxy Note 3.
We'd have usually given this kind of rumor a wide berth, but multiple reports have spoken of a larger device from at the June event, so we're starting to give them some credence. At the very lst, is definitely testing it, but may not bring it to market.
After that, will launch the iPhone 6 in September, along with the iWatch and the first view of iOS 8, to allow it to both bring a new product to market as well as keeping its schedule safe. This is backed up by KDB Daewoo Securities, which does have a decent record in rly s.
has launched the last few i at a special event in September, so the smart money is on September 2014 for the iPhone 6's arrival but won't be the only mobile hardware we see from the firm this yr.
Lost home button?According to Business Insider, of the many iPhone 6 prototypes has made, one has a giant Retina+ IGZO display and a "new form factor with no home button. Gesture control is also possibly included." It will surely include 's new Touch ID finger print tech though?
The Retina+ Sharp IGZO display would have a 1080p Full HD resolution. It's also been widely reported that could introduce two handset sizes as it seeks to compete with the plethora of Android devices now on the market.
We reckon there will be two screen sizes and resolutions, as mentioned above. A Full HD display makes perfect sense for the iPhone 6, especially if it grows to a 4.7-inch screen as mooted, and the iPhablet will push things even further to preserve the Retina experience on a larger display.
In other ars, patents show that has been thinking about magical morphing technology that can hide sensors and even cameras. Will it make it into the iPhone 6? Probably not.
That said, there's still a small possibility of the iPhone 6 sporting a flexible wraparound display after more patents were uncovered, but we reckon that's more likely to fture on the iPhone 7 or 8 instd.
Back in September last yr, rumors pointed to a 6-inch display, with further talk of a phablet sized 6-inch iPhone claiming it might arrive as rly as May 2014 - which jives nicely with the above chat on an iPhablet.
Case and hlthcare
iPhone 6 casingIt's been suggested that there could even be three size variants of the new iPhone - check out these mocked up s by artist Peter Zigich, and that makes sense seeing as the iPhone 5C will need a sequel.
He calls the handsets iPhone 6 Mini, iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 XL (these look rather like the iPhone 5C variant though).
However, as ZDNet rightly points out, different size variants aren't exactly sy to just magic out of thin air.
"If the iPhone 6 doesn't have a Liquidmetal body, then we'll probably never see one."You can expect more premium metal to come your way with the iPhone 6 too, and patents for liquidmetal 3D printing suggest there may be a new way to form the sultry chassis on the new iPhone.
Writing in rly January 2014, MacRumors quotes a batch of liquidmetal patents reportedly filed by employees.
This has been doing the rounds for a while though, and apparently it's a tricky material to work with.
That chassis could well be the thinnest yet - with word that will slim down the svelte 7.6mm 5S body for the iPhone 6, and if s of the phone's case are legit the handset may well be shockingly slender.

Sapphire is alrdy used by the Cupertino brand for its TouchID sensor cover and the camera glass, so extending it out makes a lot of sense. Whether it will be cost effective remains to be seen - but given i are one of the top device for screen repair, reducing this problem would go down nicely.
And what's this? NFC in an iPhone? About time too. Well, that's what iDownloadblog reckons, quoting Jefferies analyst Peter Misek. Many Android now boast NFC and apprs to have been happy to be left behind here, so we can't see it suddenly rocking the contactless technology when it apprs to be on the wane.
And what about a bit more space to sling our content? We've alrdy seen a 128GB iPad, so why not a 128GB iPhone 6? Yes, it'll cost a fortune, but high-spending rly adopters love this stuff.
It could save your life - with iOS 8With iOS 7 hding out of the traps now, who's betting against the next iPhone coming with iOS 8?
We'd expect a September or October relse date for iOS 8 in line with previous relses - although it's likely we'll see what the new software will entail from June this yr.
And owning one could definitely make you hlthier, as has apparently met with the FDA, according to the New York Times, to chat about the incrsed hlth-tracking software it will use in iOS 8. This will very likely be in association with the iWatch, which should debut at the same time as the new platform.
However, the new iPhone will need to be a posterchild for the technology too, so from tracking your prescriptions to monitoring your hlth levels, we very much expect to bring its new handset to the hlthy fore as well.
iPhone 6 processorNot a huge surprise, this one: the next processor one will be a quad-core A8 or an evolved A7. The big sell here is more power with better efficiency, which should help battery life.
Anyone hoping for some juicy technology hidden under the iPhone 6 body will be disappointed though, as reports suggest is looking to push its Korn rival further out of the iPhone picture with its eighth- handset.
is apparently cutting the amount of A8 processors it is having made by , although it hasn't severed ties completely just yet.
Camera and wireless chargingUpdated Everything we've hrd so far about the new iPhone 6 iPhone 6 camera's bought camera sensors from before, and this yr we're going to see a new, 13-megapixel sensor that takes up less room without compromising quality. But that's not what everybody thinks.
The China Post, quoting a tip from the country's Nomura Security, claims that the next iPhone won't go for a 12 or 16-megapixel sensor, instd sticking to the existing 8-megapixel unit. However, with more recent rumors believing that has signed up to use a new material that will dramatically improve the quality of light trickling into the phone, a 10MP+ sensor suddenly seems a lot more likely.
On top of that, more impressive tech will also help make your snaps stand out. A patent confirms this, saying 's aim is to use "voice coil motor actuators" to move the lens around the optical axis.
An patent, uncovered by Insider in May 2013, shows a system where an iPhone can remotely control other illuminating devices - extra flashes. It would work in a similar manner to that seen in professional photography studios. Interesting stuff.
Will the iPhone 6 be handy for pro photographers? [ credit: Insider]iPhone 6 Sapphire crystals GT Advanced Technologies provides crystal grow equipment and materials for consumer electronics, among other industries and has announced that it's signed a multi-yr supply agreement with to provide sapphire materials.
Sapphire has figured prominently in recent products - the iPhone 5S' Touch ID fingerprint rder ftures a cut sapphire crystal cover and the iPhone 5 was the first to fture a sapphire crystal lens.So what will we see in the iPhone 6? Certainly the Touch ID fingerprint rder, but also other scratch-proof materials - as we said, possibly the display, which makes a lot of sense.
GT says it will own and operate the machinery to produce this stuff at a new plant in Arizona.
has also filed a "Sapphire " patent (discovered by insider) which details the numerous methods of growing, harvesting and polishing transparent sapphire wafers, then cutting them with advanced lasers.
Sappire iPhone 6 wireless chargingWireless charging still isn't mainstrm. Could help give it a push? CP Tech reports that has filed a patent for efficient wireless charging, but then again has filed patents for pretty much anything imaginable.
The tasty bit of this particular patent is that 's tech wouldn't just charge one device, but multiple ones. Here are more details on the iPhone 6 wireless charging patent.
Mnwhile, a further patent seems to imply that future i will be able to adjust volume as you move them away from your r.
