The new iPhone 6 is coming on 9 September! To help you know what to expect, here’s the updated iPhone 6 UK release date, price, specs and new features rumour round-up.

A new launch date of 9th September has been outed by recode.net which says Apple has scheduled a big media event for that day. “As with September events past, the focal point of this one is to be Apple’s next-generation iPhones” says the site which founded by former Wall Street Journalists Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. The invitation posted above confirms this date.

This is despite a report by Reuters that says that this date could be delayed due to a supply chain problem. The site reports that suppliers are struggling to get enough iPhone 6 screens ready.

“Two supply chain sources said display panel production suffered a setback after the backlight that helps illuminate the screen had to be revised, putting screen assembly on hold for part of June and July. One said Apple, aiming for the thinnest phone possible, initially wanted to cut back to a single layer of backlight film, instead of the standard two layers, for the 4.7-inch screen, which went into mass production ahead of the 5.5-inch version,” said Reuters.

Detailed features of The iPhone 6:

Camera

It’s highly likely that the iPhone 6 will have a better camera than the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5s has an 8-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture, but rumour has it Apple is planning on boosting that to a 10-megapizel camera with an f/.8 aperture and an improve filter, according to Chinese website IT168.

Design
In addition to the bigger screen, we expect that the iPhone 6 will have a bit of a new design. The latest rumours and leaked images suggest that the iPhone 6 will have little or no bezels, and many suggest that the iPhone 6 will have a thinner, lighter chassis.

Credible Sources have it that the iPhone 6 will have an ‘edge-to-edge’ display and a design which looks like the iPad mini. It sounds pretty similar to the above render and means the end of the flat sides which have been around since the iPhone 4. The thinner, lighter chassis could be made possible with the use of LiquidMetal, a material that Apple has exclusive rights to. It’s extremely strong and durable, and therefore can be used in smaller quantities to get the same level of build quality as aluminium.

Screen size

One of the most talked about elements of the iPhone 6 is its screen. Pretty much every rumour report, expert and source out there suggests that the iPhone 6 will be bigger than the iPhone 5s, and there are a surprisingly large number of reports that say we’ll get two new iPhones this year, with one of those iPhones falling into the ‘Phablet’ category.

Among those set on the idea that Apple is working on a bigger iPhone is KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a very impressive track record when it comes to predicting Apple launches. He expects two new iPhones to arrive this autumn, one with a 4.7in display and the other with a 5.5in display.

That same rumour has been reiterated by numerous others who agree that we should expect a 4.7in and 5.5in iPhone, including UBS analyst Steve Milunovich, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster and several other analysts, as well as Reuters and The Wall Street Journal, so we’re beginning to believe it might be true.

storage?


Until now Apple has set the top limit of its smartphone storage at 64GB, which is pretty good internal storage for a smartphone. However, if you are using your iPhone as your main camera and primary source for music consumption, then this will soon fill up – if Apple choses not to equip the iPhone with expandable storage then 128GB would be a welcomed addition to its lineup.

The company has already expanded the storage of the iPad to offer a 128GB option, so it’s certainly possible that Apple will choose to do the same with the iPhone this year.

According to Chinese Apple blog Feng.com, Apple will be releasing a 128GB 5.5in iPhone 6, but the rumoured 4.7in option will not have the larger capacity.

The Tencent site which offered the 19 September launch date said that Apple will launch the 4.7in iPhone 6 in 32- and 64GB variants.

Automatic unlocking

Despite not being a confirmed feature of iOS 8, the iPhone 6 is rumoured to come with an automatic unlocking feature similar to the one just announced for Google’s Android L. No more need for Touch ID or a passcode – unless you’re in a less secure environment.

Apple’s patent for the feature, called ‘location –sensitive security’, says: “The security level and/or other device behaviour, configurations, or settings on a mobile device can be modified based on the location of the mobile device.”

“In one example, a passcode is not required when the mobile device detects a current location corresponding to the user’s home. In another example, a simple passcode is used when the mobile device detects a location corresponding to the user’s office desk, but a longer or more complex alphanumeric passcode is used at other locations within the office, such as the cafeteria or conference rooms.” it adds.

Heart rate & Lightning EarPods


Instead of sticking a heart rate monitor on the back of the phone like the Samsung Galaxy S5, Apple is rumoured to be integrating the technology into its EarPod headphone. According to secret.ly, they will also measure blood pressure and iBeacons to avoid losing them.

“Apple’s new EarPods will have sensors in them, for heart rate & blood pressure. Also iBeacons so they don’t get lost. They will require the lightning port, it’s why the audio jack was moved to the bottom,” says the site.

Expandable storage

This is a contentious issue, because Apple have both a very successful pricing structure based on storage options and also an ever developing iCloud. But expandable storage is still the most popular way and unrestricting way that the majority of people would chose to expand the storage capabilities of their smartphones. An iSD card and slot would be a great way for Apple to tackle this current flaw of the iPhone. It almost definitely won’t happen though.

Wireless Charging

This is almost too Apple, it’s almost shocking it hasn’t been included yet. Apple’s big rival, Samsung, already has the feature and other smartphones are sure to catch up soon also. Will Apple introduce wireless charging with the iPhone 6? Maybe, but there’s no real evidence to back this up yet.

Flexible screen

A flexible screen, that’s crazy talk! Apparently not. Those chaps over at Samsung are already making noises suggesting that there will be a smartphone with a flexible smartphone coming out in 2014. If it’s a hit, then it won’t be long till Apple joins the party. God knows enough people have smashed their existing iPhone screens.

Price
We won’t know the price of the iPhone 6 until Apple announces it, but it’s thought that the firm will keep the same pricing system as the iPhone 5s for the next generation of iPhone. That means the iPhone 6 price will start at £549.

The iPhone 6 scam

The iPhone 6 absolutely hasn’t launched yet, though, so don’t be fooled by the most recent scam that’s being emailed out to thousands of people from a convincing email address. The email, from sales@apple.com, says “The wait is over” and tells recipients that they can buy the iPhone 6 today. All they need to do is follow the links and fill out their Apple ID and password details. Please don’t be fooled by this scam – it’s a phishing site so entering your details will compromise your confidential details stored within your Apple account.

Leaked images of iPhone 6

One thing we’re certainly not short of is iPhone 6 leaked images. In addition to lots of concept images that have been created by talented designers, some of which you’ll have already seen in this article, there have also been photographs of alleged iPhone 6 parts that have come straight from sources on Apple’s supply chain.

Many of the leaked parts match up, which makes it likely that they closely represent what the iPhone 6 will look like when it arrives.
