Is Apple engineering its nextversioniPhone 6 to have a beachbody?
Ithadmuchbetter be, ifrecentreportsverifytrue: According to a report in Taiwan's Economic Daily News, thesupposed "iPhone 6" will come out in August, a monthormoreearlier than many Apple watchershadactuallyanticipated.
Thelast three iPhones-- the iPhone 5s, the iPhone 5, andthe iPhone 4s-- werealllaunched in either September or October. Credible Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has actuallyforecast a September releasedateforthe iPhone 6; newssources like Reuters and Nikkei bothpublishedreportspeggingthe iPhone 6 for a fallrelease.
Ifthereleasedaterumorcomestrue, Apple might be trying to stemthe stagnation in iPhone sales that occursevery summertime. Smartphone shoppershaveactuallybecomeconditioned to Apple's yearlycycle; typically, iPhone salescrater in the summertime as everyone awaitsthemorerecentdesign, afactthat Apple constantlyexplains in its quarterlyresultscallseachsummer's end.
Thatbehavior, in addition to stiffercompetitorsandincreasedreleasecycles from rivals like Samsung, may trigger Apple to speed up therelease of the iPhone 6 a bit.
The Economic Daily Information likewisestatesthatthedisplay on the iPhone 6 will enhance to 4.7 inches on thediagonal, which an evenlarger iPhone, with a 5.5-inch screen, will follow in September.
Thepart about 2newiPhones 6comingthisyear-- one with a 4.7 inchscreen, and one "phablet"-sized iPhone lateron, has beenpreviouslyreported. The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5function 4.0-inch displays, whilecontendingphones like the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 3hadbiggerdisplays that crossthe 5-inch limit. Thosephones with largerscreenshaveshownpopular with shoppers, particularly in Asia. In order to compete with Samsung, Huawei, and others in thehuge Oriental market, Apple has to bring out a largerscreenfor its iPhone. And, according to a lot ofreportswe'veseen, that'sspecificallywhat'swilling to happen.
The August releasedaterumor, on theotherhand, could be baloney. Taiwan's Economic Daily Information is a respectablenewspaper, thoughit has nohistory of forecasting Apple reports-- aside from a recentpredictionthat Apple would launch its so-called "iWatch" later on thisyear. Thatlack of trackrecordmakesitdifficult to examinetheprobability of thisreportcomingtrue.
Fornow, I 'd statethat September is stillmoremostlikelyforthe iPhone 6. Up until anotherestablishedsource of Apple rumors-- the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Ming-Chi Kuo, The New York Times-- signs up with the Economic Daily News in reportingthatthe iPhone's releasedate has beenrisen intosummerseason, I'll be working on theassumptionthatwe'll be seeingthe brand-new iPhone in thefall.
