+ | screened handset<br><br>ANALYSTS say the iPhone 6, expected next year, is likely to take on bigger screened phones from Samsung and HTC.<br><br>"Apple 2013 focus was a less expensive iPhone to go alongside its standard flagship offering," MacRumors reports, "while 2014 development [will] centre around a bigger display." "Apple is reportedly testing a variety of different prototypes," the site continues. "All of the reports have indicated a size ranging from 4.7 to 5.7 inches."<br><br>Know Your Mobile suggests that Apple may release two iPhone 6 models one similar in size to the current model and another, much larger, device to compete with the bigger phone tablet hybrids, often called phablets.<br><br>"There may be multiple models, just as we saw with the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C," the site reports. "We may be looking at a 4.8 inch 'standard' model to replace the iPhone 5S and a larger 5 inch to 6 inch model as a phablet competitor."<br><br>In order to increase the size of the screen while maintaining the Retina resolution of the existing device, Apple will have to boost the pixel count of the new screen. That means app developers will need to redesign their apps to fit the new screen dimensions.<br><br>Recent reports have suggested that the screen, whatever its size, will be made from sapphire crystal a hardwearing manmade material that won't scratch even when rubbed against concrete.<br><br>Apple has paid $578m to GT Advanced Technologies, a sapphire crystal manufacturer, to gear up for production on a large scale, according to the Business Times.<br><br>Previously, the material has been used only for small components, such as the lens cover on the iPhone 5S.<br><br>More iPhone 6 rumours<br><br>There no shortage of speculation about what will be included in the next iPhone, much of which seems to be based on wishful thinking:<br><br>iPhone 6: Sapphire screen than concrete December has spent more than half a billion dollars developing a sapphire crystal screen for the iPhone 6 that won scratch even when rubbed against concrete, according to the latest reports.<br><br>Sapphire glass is around 2.5 times more durable than Corning Gorilla Glass which is utilised in several smartphones in the market today, reports Business Times. "The sapphire glass can simply break pieces of concrete leaving no scratches on it," it says.<br><br>Sapphire crystal is already used on the iPhone 5S, launched two months ago, but only on the rear camera protective lens and the cover of the fingerprint reading Touch ID button.<br><br>The material has previously been used sparingly due to its relatively high cost and the low volumes produced. Now, Apple is spending heavily to bring it into the mainstream.<br><br>Apple paid a total of $578m to GT Advanced Technologies [a sapphire crystal manufacturer] to speed up the development of its next generation, large capacity furnaces to deliver low cost, high volume manufacturing of sapphire material, claims the IBT report.<br><br>A scratch proof screen would give the iPhone 6 a clear marketing advantage over its rival smartphones but it is likely to come at a cost. Even before news of Apple investment in sapphire technology broke, analysts were predicting that the next model would be more expensive.<br><br>"We see the potential for the iPhone 6 price point to move higher, to avoid the profit margin erosion that occurred when iPhone 5 launched," Chris Caso of Susquehanna Financial Group told last week.<br><br>"When iPhone 5 was launched, Apple phone margins declined because the new features (most notably the display) added cost to the bill of materials, yet the price point of the phone remained unchanged. Since we 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." 6: Wraparound concept unveiled at a cost<br><br>27 November<br><br>iPhone fans unimpressed by the incremental changes of the 5S and 5C handsets released earlier this year are set to see the dramatic hardware upgrade they had hoped for.<br><br>Analysts and Apple watchers alike are convinced that the iPhone 6, expected in the middle of next year, will sport a significantly larger screen and one designer has laid down the gauntlet with a slick wraparound display.<br><br>Iskander Utebayev's design (see video below) stretches the screen over three sides of the handset,samsung galaxy note 3 case, replacing the aluminium volume controls on the side of the current iPhone with touchscreen buttons.<br><br>That raises some concern among YouTube commenters, who suggest that it would be impossible to hold the phone without unintentionally activating the side buttons. Others worry that a glass edged phone would be even more fragile than current models.<br><br>Even if the wraparound design proves too radical for Apple, industry analysts are confident that the next iPhone will have a bigger screen and a bigger price tag.<br><br>"When iPhone 5 was launched, Apple phone margins declined because the new features (most notably the display) added cost to the bill of materials, yet the price point of the phone remained unchanged. Since we 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."<br><br>Apple has previously launched new products at the same price as the models they replaced, but last month it introduced a price rise with the new iPad Mini.<br><br>Forbes recently reported that the iPhone 6 may come with a "manmade sapphire crystal" screen, which would make the handset more resistant to scratches, but increase the cost. |
