iPhone 6 Rumour Roundup: Expectations for Tomorrow’s Apple Event
In less than a day, we will find out what Apple has been cooking up lately: The company is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 6. If you have followed the blog, you may already know that there were plenty of iPhone 6 rumours, some credible, some not, while other reports contradicted all that we had initially thought. So here are the rumours we may see materialize tomorrow when Apple unveils the next-generation iPhone.
- The iPhone 6 will be available in two different versions: a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch model. We’ve seen plenty of reports and leaks, so we want to believe that Apple will go big and launch new models with a bigger screen.
- The bigger display will have a different resolution, and the 5.5-inch model may have an iPad-like productivity interface for some apps.
- Apple may opt to use sapphire glass only with a limited number of devices. You may be wondering, how can a high-end device be even more high-end? Well, the recipe is apparently simple: by adding sapphire glass. However, this feature is somewhat questionable, as the rumour mill says Apple may stick with Gorilla glass due to drop test issues. Our sources seem to confirm that fact as well.
- The iPhone 6 may have a 128GB option, and it may incorporate new sensors such as a barometer.
- Apple may add optical image stabilization to the 5.5-inch iPhone and will use the same 1GB of RAM seen in the iPhone 5s and the A8 SoC.
- Apple will finally use an NFC chip to kickstart its own mobile payment platform.
- The handsets may feature a Category 4 LTE modem from Qualcomm.
- The iPhone 6 battery will be slightly bigger: 1810 mAh for the 4.7-inch version and 2915 mAh for the 5.5-inch version.
- The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is to be called the iPhone Plus (Air, maybe Pro, someone?).
- And to close the never-ending list, here is one thing the whole tech world has been waiting for: Apple may introduce its own wearable device, dubbed as the iWatch.
These are just a few of the features we may see unveiled tomorrow. Are you ready?

T-Mobile Customers Can Now Use Starlink in Canada Through Rogers
The boundary between cellular dead zones is disappearing across Canada and the U.S. as Rogers and T-Mobile expand their satellite-to-mobile roaming partnership. T-Mobile customers travelling in Canada can access Starlink satellite connectivity via the Rogers network. This follows a move in mid-April when Rogers enabled its own customers to roam on T-Mobile’s T-Satellite network in...
iPhone Air and iPhone Pro
What about iPhone and iPhone Air? That follows the current iPad classification (I don’t see them calling it iPhone Mini)
They will absolutely NOT call them either Air or Pro. Those names don’t fit the concept of Air and Pro when used to differentiate a modest size difference and not much else.
What do you think they will be called?
No idea, although I would suspect something less dramatic, such as a letter. I do believe the suggestion from China of calling the large one “Plus” is tacky. Although I’ve jokingly said they could be called the iPhone and the iPhone Grande, a variation on “Plus” or “large” is a reasonable assumption, if they don’t just append a letter.
No way it will be called Grande … Too familiar with Starbucks.
I don’t see them calling it iWatch … I would think iBand would be more like them … Although it’s iPhone so who knows …
Is it just me or I prefer iWatch over iBand ? Makes me think of GarageBand or Band-Aid…
Very true but every time I hear iWatch I think it’s time for a night watch shift!
Re: stabilization… That was shown by the recent leak to apply to the 4.7″. Regardless, it will most certainly apply to both as it is a feature that Apple would not restrict to just one device as it would alienate users.
No leaks of iWatch whatsoever… That is really shocking. If they actually release a 5.5 inch iPhone (6L?), I will actually consider it.
No leaks of the watch would indicate that the rumours of an early 2015 release are true. We only see leaks when production is in full force.
Thankfully in only a few hours we will finally know what is really going on in Cupertino. This time next week, everywill will be talking about what the iPhone 7 should have in it. Personally, I’m probably going to grab one of these stupid smartphones. May end up ordering both and once we can physically touch them, I’ll either return one or sell it to the highest bidder.
