Let’s find what the rumors say about the Apple’s next big thing.
We have been hearing different rumors and reports that suggest a thinner and sleek body for the Apple iPhone 6. We have also seen lots of iPhone 6 mockups talking about the slimmer contour. So, all this hype makes us believe that Apple will bring a slimmer and sleek design breaking up all of its traditions that stop it being inventive. It’s likely that iPhone 6 will pack a 4.7-inch display as it is the most believable size that we could expect from the company.

New Leaks Talk about Two Phones – iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S
This time nowwhereesle.fr brings us a new story that Apple will be launching two iPhones rather than one. It’s likely that we’ll be seeing iPhone 6 with 4.7-inch screen size and iPhone 6S with 5.5-inch screen size. The release of two phones makes some sense as we’ve seen Apple doing so last year with iPhone 5C and iPhone 6S. So, there won’t be any shock if Apple does so.
Today, new seeped images of iPhone 6’s case appeared on the web pointing two different models; one with smaller display and other with bigger screen. It’s not a final call as nothing has been confirmed by the company yet. So, these kinds of reports and rumors will continue hitting the web unless Apple releases its flagship device officially.
There are some chances we will get some hints regarding new iPhone at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference which is set to be held on June 2. Though, it’s an event for App and Software development but we are pretty much sure that Apple will whisper about its next iPhone reducing the curiosity of iPhone 6 among its fans.
Really, it would be interesting to see what Apple brings in to compete with the market. We have seen Samsung, Sony and HTC launching their flagship smartphones with cutting-edge features. Seeing the trends, Apple will have to feature a larger display, better processor and stunning camera. If Apple loses any of them then it would be difficult for the company to stay in the game. Improved camera and larger display will matter as Apple has always been successful bringing better processors.

That’s good to get rid of annoying persons on Twitter.
Apart from the Mute Mode, there’re also many enhancements for iPad users that were made to iPhone app before. Video and photo previews directly in your timeline, easy access to the Direct Messages, retweet, ability to reply and follow your favorite users from the timeline Tweets are the major highlights of the update.

iPhone 6 Might Come in August with Bigger Screen Size
Everybody who has some instincts for tech must be waiting for the Apple’s next flag bearer, I mean iPhone 6. For many, it has become a nuisance as everyday they find different stories popping out around the web. Anyhow, Apple’s WWDC isn’t much far away that might tell us about the company’s next plan.
The Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference will largely focus on the development of the software. So, it’s likely that we’ll see iOS 8 or Mac OS X 10.10, the new versions of Apple’s mobile and desktop operating system. But, it is said that though the event is about software enhancement, but there’re chances that Apple will whisper about its upcoming devices such as iPhone 6, Mac mini, MacBook Pro 2014 and iWatch.
The iPhone 6 is expected to come along with a bigger screen size – i.e. 4.7-inch or higher with Retina 2 display. What evokes Apple to feature a larger display in its next flagship smartphone? Simple, its competitors that have come up with larger screen display. So, Apple knows smaller display won’t get the attention.
Here’re the latest images that may or may not be iPhone 6 appeared on an Italian blog showing the comparison between the new and old versions of iPhone. According to the pics, the new iPhone approves the rumors that suggest a thinner and round edge contour.
We don’t see Apple’s tradition of sticking with the same design in these photos instead larger and thinner profile looks fine with iPhone 6. The power button finds a place at the lateral edges of the phone. Volume buttons also have been redesigned making it more elegant.
There are some chances that Apple will unveil its iPhone 6 in August rather than September or October because its competitors have made their early announcements.
Treat this post as a grain of salt as nothing as has been confirmed by the company so far. We’ll let know when Apple announces anything officially. So, stay tuned!
