iPhone 6 Release Date, Features and Price: Apple Phablet to Sell at $299 with Contract
After a couple of months of releasing two new iPhones, tech analysts can't help but look forward to the coming of the next Apple phablet, which is the much talked about iPhone 6. After the recent rumors of its features having a bigger screen, now the latest gossip is that it will also have a huge price.
AllThingsD reported that according to Chris Caso, a Susquehanna analyst, stated that he thinks the iPhone 6 will have a higher price, around $50 more due to the high end materials Apple will use for its production. He further added that whichever phone Apple will come up with after the 5s will have a price that will fall between $249 and $299. He noted that the tech giant already did a price increase with the recent debut of the iPad Mini Retina Display, making it happen again most likely with the iPhone 6.
According to Yahoo Finance, the rumored iPhone 6 features may include the curved glass design, with a portable Apple TV, an attached iWatch plus a more improved Siri version. It was Chris Caso too who predicted lately that the iPhone 6 launch date will happen by middle of 2014. "Since we're expecting a host of new features in the iPhone 6 (including a larger screen), we expect the bill of materials cost of the phone to increase as well," he stated in a note to several investors.
Concept designs of the iPhone 5 keep on emerging online too. The one featured by Phones Review UK described it to have a 4.4 inch full HD touchscreen with a display protection made out of Sapphire glass. It also has other improved features in terms of its speakers, battery life and GPU. They emphasized that the design is not at all different from the present iPhone model but the predicted changes are just good signs of evolution.
Apple is known for not mentioning any comments or reactions with their future products but it is a bit realistic to expect the company to come up with a bigger screen iPhone. This is especially true once Apple finally believes that their consumer base truly need a considerably larger display for an iPhone, MacObserver wrote.
