What if Iphone 6 comes out in next June?

I dont't think it's so much about samsung, This year was a incremental update year not for just the iPhone. Look at the galaxy s4, Its a little bigger, a few more features you probably won't use and a spec boost. I think what you meant is the other way around samsung fears apple lol
I think you have good points.
It's just my frustration speaking. I WANT Apple to stop being so predictable and build the spectacular iPhone, that I as a long time Apple loyalist, know they can build. 2013 was a perfect year for Apple to disrupt the status quo of the smartphone business & blow them all away with a phone like only Apple can build.
But to sit & watch them let 2013 escape without anything truly great from Apple was sad to watch.
Ummm. How long have you been using iPhone?
There is a strategy. Apple is not run by idiots.
Apple will still be fulfilling some of the initial gold iphone 5s orders in June.
With that being said, Apple always introduces something in June. Doubt it will be a new imac. Apple TV? Maybe. New Mac OSX? Probably not. Apple watch, maybe, but no hurry on that with the Samsung watch being a failure. So an iPhone 6 could be a real possibility.

It's pretty unlikely that they will release the 6 while sales or the 5s will likely still be going strong. There are reports that they won't even be able to catch up with the demand for the 5s before December. I don't think they'll be ready for another launch 6 months later.
Nobody has to shoot heroin either people. And yet it's so hard to stop. Obviously buying new gadgets is an addiction for some. I don't say this in jest. I might be addicted myself.
Good Lord. Apple DOES build a great phone each and every year, and indeed each one is a phone only Apple can build.
Just look at the 5S this year, yes, in 2013. It's got an awesome innovation feature in the fingerprint sensor (TouchID). My Samsung Galaxy S4 guy is in awe each time I open my phone with nothing more than a press of my finger. Who else has matured this technology in order to place it on each and every phone? Apple.
My Samsung S4 bud carries around a couple spare batteries to get him through the day. I have only the built-in battery of my iPhone 5S, and usually beat him out of the day with charge to spare.
There really isn't much reason for Apple to provide any more upgrades that it already does each year because other manufacturers don't give you much either (look at the S4 release earlier this year, when its minions bemoaned Samsung for not turning out much in the way of new features). But Apple does typically always throw in an Apple-matured piece of innovation that all others follow in the ensuing years. Just like Siri back in 2011, now Google has their voice assistant in MOST recent Android phones.
Ya just can't seem to please everyone no-how no-way.

Maybe not "easy enough"....
Most of us buy phones when our carrier contracts are up. Many of us just bought the iPhone 5S, after having come 2 years from the iPhone 4S.
If they release the 6S in "June 2015", for sake of an example, carriers now have you locked into a basic contract for the full 24 months (up until recently you were eligible for an upgrade 18 months into your 24 month contract, but now eligibility is not until that 24th month); making it more costly to buy our next logical upgrade, or having to wait until September 2015 for our ability to buy it.

What else are these "Analysts" telling you? I remember seeing the teardrop phone design from a lot of these "analysts" back then.
You should get in touch with Tim Cook and tell him that his team of highly paid business & financial analysts are doing it wrong
It WON'T, us Apple Developer's don't even get IOS 8 Beta 1 until next year's WWDC which is usually in either June or July of each year. Just FYI.
Get over it. If the technology game is too rich for your blood, a new hobby might be in order.
Either that or consider it grand motivation to improve your annual earning potential.
No, I don't have to upgrade. If the 6 comes out in June it comes out in June. Some will upgrade. Some will not. Same as any other device release.
This. I can't see how it would be possible to compress the cycle, although I would like it if we went back to summer releases.
And yes, I would buy it. My wife would get my 5S.
