Jeffries analyst Peter Misek, who previously predicted that the iPhone 6 release date would arrive in mid-2013, has a new report that claims Apple is experimenting with six new design prototypes, according to PC-Tablet.
The tech news-site notes that "the most interesting [iPhone 6 prototype] is the 4.8 inch screened device which has a Retina Screen and also a brand new A7 quad core processor."
We're not surprised to hear that the iPhone 6 release date could bring an even bigger Apple smartphone up from the recent increase to a 4-inch display with the iPhone 5. However, that doesn't mean we think it's a good thing. Apple may be taking a beating from Samsung, but that doesn't mean they should follow the South Korean company's every design move.
Samsung continues to increase the size of the smartphones, pushing the limits of the Galaxy Note line to over 5-inches, and the popular Galaxy S3 features a 4.8-inch AMOLED display. Apple will likely to increase the size of the iPhone 6 in an effort to remain competitive, but what they really need is innovation.
Speaking of which, here are some actually innovative features that the iPhone 6 release date might usher in.
"Other touted features include no Home button and complete gesture control features," reported PC-Magazine.
We continue to hear rumors that the iPhone 6 release date could mean the first Apple smartphone without a physical Home button and we think it would be a smart move by the Cupertino-based company. The design change would mean a bigger screen without a bigger physical device. Complete gesture control also sounds great, and would really open up the floor for iOS app developers to innovate.
PC-Tablet also has a few things to say about a bigger iPhone 6 display:
It will be possible that Apple which has increased the size of its smartphone screen to 4 inches earlier would again not go for another hike in the dimensions of its screen to prevent the fragmentation of its iOS platform.
The site also notes that the bigger iPhone 6 might actually be the rumored "cheaper and watered down version of the low cost iPhone which [Apple] intends to release later in the year." A cheaper iPhone release date is expected soon in an effort to compete against Samsung in China and other foreign markets where the South Korean company currently dominates.
This isn't the first iPhone 6 release date and specs rumors of 2013 either. Earlier this month we heard about a report from Topeka Capital Markets?analyst Brian White via BetaBeat. White claims the next Apple smartphone will actually be called the 5S (following the trend set with the disappointing 4S).
White also predicts the iPhone 6 release date will be in the summer of 2013 (possibly at this year's WWDC). He also thinks the new device will come in in way more colors than the white and black options we got with the iPhone 5. If the new smartphone is anything like the latest iPod Touch it will be sold in a number of flashy bright colors.
He also thinks the iPhone 6 release date will offer Apple's consumers several different size options, offering buyers different designs at different price points. That doesn't mean the new device will be getting any smaller though. White predicts Apple will unveil a massive smartphone (like the one Misek describes), in order to compete with Samsung's line of popular phablets.
Check back soon, since we'll continue to report on Apple rumors as they break, ranging from the absurdly awesome (dual projectors) to the likely (iOS 7).
Would you buy an iPhone 6 is it had a huge screen? What if it came in pink and green designs? Share your thoughts in the comments.
