Report Claims September 25 Launch for iPhone 6, 16GB 5.5-Inch 'iPhone Air'

Suffixes

Wouldn't be surprised if an 'iPhone Air' does debut eventually, considering the suffix names Apple has been using over the past several years

  • Pro
  • Mini
  • Air
 
Why do people complain about items they intend NOT to purchase? Jeez, move on. I was going to get an LG G3, but I think now the iphone "air" has my attention.

Speaking impartially, even the LG G2 is better than the iPhone 6. KnockON, rear controls, large display - and then there is the G3. Not to mention, the Sony Xperia Z2, that is sexy, waterproof, has a built in FM Radio (useful when offline), a great screen, camera shutter release button, NFC etc. HTC One M8 and Galaxy S5 also come to mind.!

An good phone is much more than a lot of features whithout sense, I'm using android too, I ve an HTC ONE M8, whic I consider is the best phone on the earth rigth now, and dont have buttons on the back, nither fm (who ears FM?), from the features mentioned, ONLY WATERPROOOFING, AND NFC MATTER, APPLE at least hear users and allowed 3rd party keybords (main reason I ve an HTC M8 is SwiftKey gesture KBD, by far the best on android phone, only reason I didnt uprade to iPhone 5 from 4S).

Apple appear to have run out of ideas. They have launched a dumbed down slower iMac and done the same with the iPod Touch, which is Tim's way of dumping unsold stock of specific components. OK, wise, but where is the ground breaking? Where's the touch screen iMac or OS X tablet for artists or affordable compact (old style) Mac Mini for small businesses? Etc.

Be brave!

This is not lack of Ideas, jus mere marketing. Touchscreen enabled iMac may come soon but not as you think, no way you actually touch an mac screen period. OS/X Tablet for Artist? What do you think mny artist do whit the iPad Air, check the NYSE? I'm frien of some Graphic Artist and they use often they iPad as pre-work or sometimes the do all work on iPad.

Old Style Mac mini?, pease be more specific, what's wrong with current Mac mini? From The rumours a new Mac mini smaller with mac pro look may arrive soon this year, but you' ll never see again a CD/DVD drive on a Mac.

Too early, Apple. Cannot yet justify another one.
My interest in new iPhones plateaued after the 4S, which is still my daily driver.

And, what, Apple are forcing you to buy the iPhone 6 are they? The iPhone 4s is nearly three years old, in technology terms, that's 300 years.
 
perhaps they will do 16gb versions only for China Mobile to keep costs down

Did you watch the Keynote from WWDC? Or read anything about it? iOS 8 will support third party keyboards.
 
The Apple Ritual!

These new iPhones are going to sell like nothing we've seen before with severe shortages for many months.

Yep. I can't wait. The ritual of racing to order and posting order progress is kind of fun. In the meantime, I have a perfectly good iPhone 5S to use to make phone calls! No downside!

What could be better?

Yes, when I moved to android the iPhone5 just appear, thanks to iOS 8 and the 4.7" iPhone "6" I'm sure to get back to full Apple realm.

The iPhone5 never appealed me, and the easy fast typing of gesture kbd simple did the engage.
 
Looks like the back of the HTC one M8. It's has the same design. Now I get to call Apple a hypocrite for suing Samsung for coping. If anyone makes a reply about the camera being in a different spot, just remember. Apple sued because of with the rectangle screen as a copy cat. This actually looks like an HTC One knock off.

What worries me about this post is that they are already having troubles with battery life. Unless they have a major breakthrough of some sort... I think we can all pretty much expect mediocre to bad battery life at best with these new phones... As if the iPhone 5's battery wasn't bad enough...
Click to expand...

No, I'm actually optimistic this will be one of the biggest improvements. The iPhone has consistently had some of the best "pound for pound" battery life. By making the phone larger, it can reap some of the benefits of having a larger battery (without an equivalent larger drain on battery power). Notice the bigger the iOS devices are in the product line, the longer the battery life (even though the screen gets bigger, sometimes the CPU/GPU gets faster, etc).

My comment seems to have hurt your feelings, so apparently what I was saying was the truth? You see, a normal person wouldn't have replied at all to this … but you had to come up with something, something cool of course, such as: "Cool story, nerd!" to clearly show that others are the nerds, and not you.

So you posted a comment in a discussion thread, that by your own admission no "normal person" would reply to. Seems rather asinine don't you think?

Back on topic, I hope they make a 16gb 4.7" model. With iTunes Match and cloud photos in iOS8 I won't need a lot of local storage. The contract from my 4S runs out in a month or two and as an owner of several Apple products the iPhone 6 is the obvious choice for an upgrade.

Can't wait for TouchID, AirDrop, Continuity, and all the other goodies new hardware will bring!
 
Apple, for the love of God, DO NOT RELEASE A 16gb IPhone!!!

32gb needs to be the minimum size, do not insult all of us by releasing your flagship phone with the same onboard storage as iPhones which are several generation old!

From what I've read on here a lot of users want 128, personally all I need is 16gb. If they only offer 3 models they should go 32/64/128, but I'd prefer 4 models at 16/32/64/128.
 
Strangely, very few rumors regarding resolution other than the 1704 x 960 one awhile back. I'll be surprised if that's the resolution, especially of the bigger phone. To me, makes no sense to increase screen size without increasing usable pixels.

Wrong. The iPhone 4s battery demolishes the iPhone 5 battery.
 
I want the iPhone Air.

Why not? You buy a 32 gig if that's what you need. Having choices are nice. Not everyone needs 32GB of data on their phone.

Not from my experience.

Either you have a different definition of "demolishes" or you're making crap up:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6330/the-iphone-5-review/13

(and if you're being Mr. Anecdotal, I own a 4s, 5, and 5s and the 4s has the lowest battery life of the three)

4s is a bit better in some tests, a much worse in others. But obviously if the batteries are nearly the same size, which they are, there wouldn't be much difference. A 4.7" or 5.5" iPhone should actually have a significantly higher capacity battery which will make a big difference especially when the phone is idle.

Yet Another blog finalist on the Lame iPhone Leak World Cup...


READ THIS PLEASE:

There Will not be such thing as a 5.5" iPhone, will be a 5.5" iPod Touch (or whatever is named but the 5.5" device not a Phone PERIOD).

Will NOT BE A 4.7" iPod Touch (this is my Lame Leak Contribution, derivative from my previous leak).

Of Course is very probable the new iPhone to have a new Moniker as " new iPhone" "iPhone air" (personally iDoubt it bill be named iPhone Air, but iPhone Pro, iPhone Plus may have more sense.
Click to expand...

Actually, if I remember right, wasn't there was an article a long time ago about Apple making a large iPod Touch geared for gaming? That would be the ultimate troll if Apple didn't release the 5.5" size as a phone and then made fun of all the phablets on the market. I don't much care if Apple releases one either way, but it would be hilarious if they did that.
