iPhone 6 release date, news, rumours, specs and price
Tuesday, July 8, 2014
The iPhone 6 release date has again been tipped for this autumn, as Apple uses its WWDC 2014 keynote to confirm the iOS 8 software will touch down later this year, presumably alongside a new handset.
Although last year's iPhone 5S remains one of the most popular handsets on the market, going head-to-head with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8, attention has already firmly turned to the upcoming iPhone 6 release date and the possibility of an all new Apple smartphone direction.
Recent leaks claimed an iPhone 6 release date will be held on September 19 following a formal unveiling earlier that month. Although far from confirmed, this would fit with the 'Fall' timeframe handed to the iOS 8 launch.
While numerous reports have suggested the iPhone 6 will feature a refreshed, larger form factor and screen to better rival its main Android rivals, latest leaks have suggested that the phone could benefit from a super slim profile similar to the iPod touch.
What's more, having shaken things up last year with the colourful, plastic bodied iPhone 5C, recent iPhone 6 rumours have claimed the next Apple handset could share the limelight with the company's first phablet offering, a handset which would look to rival the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
The teased September 19 iPhone 6 release date would likely see the phone formally announced around September 9.

iPhone 6 Release Date
Although some had claimed that the iPhone 6 release date would be announced during WWDC 2014, we now know this to be pure nonsense, with the conference keynote focussing on iOS 8, OS X Yosemite and a raft of new developer features.Although last year's iPhone 5S remains one of the most popular handsets on the market, going head-to-head with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8, attention has already firmly turned to the upcoming iPhone 6 release date and the possibility of an all new Apple smartphone direction.

iPhone 6 Release Date
Now, what is looking far more likely is that the iPhone 6 release date will be held in either late September or the opening days of October - a launch which will follow an unveiling less than two weeks earlier.
With the iPhone 4S having marked the company’s first move to a late summer unveiling, the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S have all made their first appearances around the same time of year.
Adding further backing to an autumn release, KGI Research analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reported that the iPhone 6 will touch down with a new 4.7-inch screen during the very latter period of Q3 - so late September. It has been suggested that the iPhone 6 will land as a busy second half of the year for the Cupertino-based giant, a period which will also see new iPads, MacBooks and the much mooted Apple iWatch lands.
Separate reports out of Japan and Taiwan have both suggested that the iPhone 6 will enter full production in July in order to meet launch demands. One thing you can bet on is that the iPhone 6 will not be hit by the same level of stock shortages as the iPhone 5S, a device which faced 6-8 week shipping delays on day one.
