Apple used to be the clear smartphone leader with its iconic iPhone series thanks to a combination of outstanding hardware and software to match. Now, Android-based phones are arguably as good, if not better, with the likes of the HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S4, not necessarily in that order, giving the once-unmatchable Apple a run for its money.
Apple, needless to say, is not sitting back on its haunches, and promises a rivetting fightback with products that promise the moon.
The current position in the fight revolves around the smashing hit that Samsung Galaxy S4 has become and everyone is waiting for what Apple will do to its next in line smartphone – the so-called iPhone 6. Here is a peak at the dates and the direction Apple may well have taken to beat rivals.
While the new model is being referred to as iPhone 6, it had briefly surfaced some time ago as the iPhone Math – the screen is reportedly 4.8 inches. Also, with HTC One having come up with an outstanding camera, iPhone too is playing catch up and is reportedly targetting trotting out a special one of its own.
The glimpse into the working of Apple Inc was given by Citi Research analyst Glen Yeung who revealed that a 'big-screen iPhone 6' is likely to be launched in first quarter of 2014.
But on the other hand history repeats itself people, so guess what? That's exactly where we are going to look for a first clue as the when we might see the iPhone 6.
iPhone 1st gen June, 2007
iPhone 3G July, 2008
iPhone 3GS June, 2009
iPhone 4 June, 2010
iPhone 4s October, 2011
iPhone 5 September, 2012
iPhone 5s/5c September, 2013
While the history books suggest that there will be an new iPhone 6 release date around September/October 2014, we have a gut feeling that Apple might – just might – shake things up a little bit and launch an iPhone 6 earlier than expected, just like it did with the iPad 4, which was launched just eight months after the iPad 3 (previous iPads were release 11-12 months apart). But for the record, the smart money goes on an iPhone 6 release date of September/October 2014.
