Apple's next iPhone is always a heavily rumored affair. We gather all the whispers here and make sense of it.
With Mobile World Congress just around the corner, rumors about new and upcoming devices are as thick as San Francisco fog. However, one company that won't be in Barcelona next week is Apple. The Cupertino-based company prefers to steer clear of these big conferences
and mass launch events, choosing instead to host their own exclusive
events. That way, its news never gets lost in the flood of announcements
(as if that could happen to the Apple of today). What you may wonder, after hearing about all the new phones
that are going to arrive through the spring and into the summer, is if
the iPhone 6 is will match up to the MWC debutantes. Apple hasn't
announced the device yet, and it's not expected to announce anything for
a while. After all, the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S were just announced and
released in September. Though Apple has traditionally announced new
phones at WWDC in June, it's thought the switch to September refresh
will carry through to this year. So what can we expect come fall?iPhone Screen
Arguably one of the most important features of a smartphone, given it's what you'll spend all your time looking at. Apple pays special attention to its displays, adding its famed Retina Display with the introduction of the iPhone 4.
Talk of the iPhone 6 display Recent rumors suggest Apple is going to
use a sapphire display in the iPhone 6. The company’s new Arizona plant
will produce sapphire glass, that much we know. Tim Cook confirmed it
while speaking to ABC.
Now, Apple already uses tiny amounts of sapphire glass for the home
button and to keep the camera safe from scratches, and though it’s
technically possible that this is all the company needs the new plant
for, that seems highly unlikely. Word on the street says Apple will kick
things up a notch and make the entire display out of this tough
material. This week, Canonical’s CEO complained that
Apple had bought up a three year supply of a display Canonical wanted
for the Ubuntu Edge. Apple’s either has a huge need for sapphire glass
or is stockpiling for a future product while keeping the product away
from its competitors.
