iPhone 6 Release Date Rumors, Specs, and News: "iPhone Air" Concept Video Shows Off Slimmer Phone With Larger Screen [WATCH]
In anticipation for the release of Apple's latest iteration of its flagship smartphone, the iPhone 6, designer Sam Beckett has put together a concept video of what we can expect from the new device.
Dubbing it, the iPhone Air, Beckett's video is based on the rumored specifications of Apple's new gadget. Beckett's concept sports a 4.7-inch display, with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 468ppi. This is a 17 percent increase in screen size from the iPhone 5S, with 68 percent more pixels.
"I wanted to keep the core design of the iPhone very much inline with what customers expect from Apple," says Beckett on The Verge. "I have given the device the title 'iPhone Air' because Apple has demonstrated that they think the iPhone is a mature enough device to warrant two versions (5S and 5C) and I believe more distinctive branding, much like the iPad Mini and Air will help to reinforce the two product lines."
Beckett's vision for the device also has it 8 percent larger than the previous iteration, and slightly slimmer at 7mm. The smartphone also features a Sapphire Crystal display (rumored to replace the old Gorilla Glass), an improved 10-megapixel camera, and a faster Apple A8 chip.
The iPhone 6 is one of several devices Apple is expected to launch this year. There is also the highly anticipated iPad Air 2, as well as the iWatch. While no official announcements have been made, analysts believe that consumers can expect to see the iPhone 6 on store shelves no later than September.
