The Apple iPhone 6 might finally be the change in design and features
Apple customers have been craving. According to new rumors, the device
will change its touchscreen capabilities, offer new color options, and
possibly arrive in two display sizes.
On Thursday, the reporting team at China Times alleged
that Apple is investigating the use of “Touch On Display” panels from
Innolux. According to the report, the panels are just 0.5mm thick and
offer superior sensitivity and optical performance compared to current
iPhone 5 displays.
The report also suggests that Apple is changing to the new displays
because of poor iPhone 5 display performance issues. While problems with
iPhone 5 displays have been few and far between, the number of
customers reporting slow touch response times and interference problems
have reportedly worried Apple engineers. The biggest complaint to date
has been devices that will not register rapid diagonal swipes.
Apple is also rumored to be prepping various device colors
including pink, yellow, blue, white and silver, and black and slate.
Apple is no stranger to colored device options, already offering a
similar slate of device for its iPod touch devices.
In another rumor, Topeka Capital analyst Brian White suggests that
Apple may choose to release two display options that include the iPhone
4S friendly 3.5″ option and the larger 5″ display that is now available
for iPhone 5 users.
The Apple iPhone 6 (possibly the iPhone 5S) is expected to be
announced in June 2013. With Google Android smartphones continuing to
chip away at Apple iPhone market share, the actual release of the iPhone
6 could occur only a short time after the new device and iOS 7 are
revealed.
