Apple could out a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 as early as June!!!

Chinese analyst Sun Chyang Xu has reported that Apple plans to release an upcoming iPhone 6 model with a 4.7" screen this June, with production expected to get under way in May. Unfortunately, it will retain the 1136 x 640 pixel density of its current iPhone 5s flagship.


There are also indications that 2014 will see a larger 5.7-inch model as well, which will supposedly offer higher resolution as well. It's uncertain whether one or both will contain the new VCM OIS patents which we heard about earlier this month.
This confirms earlier gossip coming out of Apple's supply chain regarding two upcoming iPhone 6 screen sizes. Additionally the additional information regarding the production and release dates makes sense, as it would coincide with Apple's WWDC on June 10.
Two major iPhone variants would also fall in line with Apple's new release cycle of two devices per year, which it introduced this year with the iPhone 5s and 5c



iPhone 6 to feature 4.5-inch display?

Pretty much every display size you can imagine has been thrown around for the iPhone 6, aka the iPhone Air. From the same 4-inch scale of the existing flagship, to a smaller iPhone Mini, to a massive 6-inch phablet - we've heard it all.
The newest rumour comes via a new Twitter leak source, which immediately casts suspicion on the story. @NextLeaks has never been heard of before, but the first three Tweets have been absolute corkers.
So far we've heard of two new Nokia Lumia handsets, one of which will allegedly charge using solar power.
But one of the source's most recent Tweets concerns not Nokia's hardware, but Apple's. It alleges the iPhone 6 will feature a 4.5-inch display panel with a 2048x1536 pixel resolution at a whopping 569 pixels-per-inch (ppi).

iPhone 6 concept imagines 6mm thin chassis rumour with 4.7-inch display

Concept designs are cool, not just for the personal creativity and imagination displayed from the artists, but also because they often help visualise the most recent rumours about a forthcoming device.
That's why this latest render is nicely timed. We'd recently heard that the iPhone 6 may be called the iPhone Air and feature a super-thin 6mm chassis. At the same time, rumours and leaks have increasingly pointed to a 4.7-inch-to-5-inch display size.
Both these rumours have been implemented in a concept rendering by Alex Casabò, which has in turn been transformed into a video by Ran Avni.
The artists also imagined a few extra iOS features for "iOS 7.2" and a new Apple A8 quad-core processor.
As usual, we can't expect such renders to be pinpoint accurate, as Apple is something of a law unto itself, but they're certainly useful for giving an idea of what a larger, thinner "iPhone Air" could look like.

Thinnest iPhone To Date

Apple's next iPhone, the iPhone 6, will be the thinnest smartphone made by the American tech giant to date, according to reports from Asian supply sources.
The word comes via Korean publication ET News, which claims that the iPhone 6 will actually be called the iPhone Air, following in the footsteps of the iPad Air. It also suggests that it will measure a mere 6mm thick, making it one of the thinnest smartphones on the market and the thinnest ever iPhone. The current iPhone 5S, by comparison, is 7.6mm thick.
Presumably, this could make the iPhone Air/iPhone 6 weigh even less than the already rather floaty iPhone 5S's 112g - how will you even know it's in your pocket?

Nokia Lumia 1320 and 525 hands-on

Introduction Nokia held its own event on the fringe of CES - no new devices were revealed but the Finns showed the Lumia 1320 and Lumia 525 to the press and public. There's a lot riding on those devices, even though they are not the flagships in their respective categories Perhaps this is exactly why they are so important - the Lumia 520 holds a third of the Windows Phone market and the 525 is a welcome update. The Lumia 1520 is rarely seen in the hands of people, but it's Nokia's first phablet. Perhaps too pricy for some though, which is where the Lumia 1320 comes in.
