Any chance to see iPhone 6?

[dotme]

A surprise reveal of iPhone 6 is very unlikely. Which is a shame, since that would be the one thing that might get me to upgrade again this year.

I'm an Apple fan. We have 6 iPhones, 4 iPads, 2 Apple TVs and 2 Macbook Pros in the family. We've been in the ecosystem for 4+ years.

And I'm just stunned that a multi-billion dollar company bumps camera specs, processor, adds a fingerprint sensor, and calls that a year's worth of hardware improvements. Of our multiple iPhones, two are the iPhone 5 models and on both of them, the screen is slowly turning pink and the photos all sport an irritating purple flare that simply wasn't evident on earlier models.

I'm not leaving Apple, but I'm not spending money on a 5Same either. If a 4.5" screen on an iPhone 6 were announced, I'd be all over it. But it won't be.

I'll bet Apple will do well in China this year. But I sense a slide in mindshare and market share in the USA for the iPhone, and if the leaks are correct, I don't think today's announcement will do much to reverse that.

What would you consider sufficing for new hardware improvements?

I'm really hoping for some surprises from this event, but I think all we'll see is a useless fingerprint sensor.

Hope that battery life almost double up at least

You nailed my sentiment exactly.

I'm a 4S owner (and every model previous to it, as well as nearly every Apple product released in last 8 years), and the iPhone 5 didn't offer enough of an upgrade in experience to merit upgrading. Bumping the speed slightly, camera slightly, adding a fingerprint reader, none of these make me wish to turn in a perfectly adequate 4S for a 5S either. Seeing some of the stuff Samsung is doing, is making me wonder why Apple isn't running a little harder than they appear to, but it's not like I'd switch, I'm too bought into the Apple eco-system. I am beginning to resent the slow progress, and the leapfrogging (features) Samsung seems to have though, which is eroding my fanboy/advocacy with friends/relatives leanings.
