Apple iPhone 6 Release Date Coming: 3 Possible Special Features Based On Rumors

Rumors about the iPhone 6 have been circulating for a few months now, and even though we don’t have the full picture of what Apple plans to offer in the iPhone 6, we’ve rounded up all the rumors and reports about possible features to give you an idea of what Apple might release in the iPhone 6 next year.

1. Larger screen? For months, news companies like The Wall Street Journaland Bloomberg have reported that Apple is testing prototype iPhone models with screens ranging from five to six inches; NPD DisplaySearch also speculated that Apple may release two different large-screened iPhones in 2014, including an iPhone with a 4.7-inch screen and one with a 5.7-inch screen.

Though most reports about the iPhone 6 mention a larger screen, IBTimes doubts Apple will release an iPhone with a larger screen in 2014. Rumors of larger-screened iPhones are nothing new; in fact, Apple experiments with iPhone prototypes of all shapes and sizes, so while the reports of a larger iPhone prototype may be accurate, this in no way means Apple actually plans to release such a phone, especially in 2014.

2. Curved or flexible display? Apple has several patents for curved screen designs for the iPhone, but Forbes believes Apple will actually release these technologies in time for the iPhone 6. Bloomberg believes it too. According to “a person familiar with the plans,” Apple will release the iPhone 6 “with glass that curves downward at the edges,” and again reiterated the iPhone’s possible 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes. Samsung and LG have already decided to release curved-screen smartphones – the Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex, respectively – and many believe Apple will follow suit (even if we don’t).

3. Lighter liquidmetal build? Apple typically changes the iPhone’s form factor every two years, but even though we don’t expect Apple to change the size and shape of the iPhone for the release of the iPhone 6, it’s possible Apple will simply make the same iPhone form much lighter. Apple has several patents for the use of amorphous metal alloys, aka “liquid metal,” ever since Apple signed an exclusive deal in 2010 with California-based Liquidmetal Technologies, which was the first company to commercially develop the technology. The patents suggest Apple might be able to use liquid metal to manufacture and release iPhones more quickly, since the process of creating liquid metal parts “layer by layer” (similar to 3D printing) is significantly less expensive and faster than traditional machines building the current, all-aluminum iPhone. Dr. Jan Shroers, the former director of research at Liquidmetal Technologies, said in 2010 after the Apple acquisition, “I think they’re going to make the iPhone out of it.”

As far as the release date of the iPhone 6, we believe Apple has found its sweet spot by launching its newest iPhones in mid-September, and we believe the iPhone maker will follow suit in 2014 with the iPhone 6. Considering how Apple over the past two years has chosen to release its newest iOS 100 days after its unveiling at WWDC in June, and given how the iPhone has always launched just two days after the new iOS release date, we believe Apple will follow an identical pattern next year.

ASUU LATEST NEWS- OUTCOME OF TODAY'S NEC MEETING.....There is hope for resumption

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, National Executive Council, weekend, met in Kano. The secret meeting,Vanguard gathered lasted from Friday night to Saturday morning.

However, at the end of the meeting, lecturers were not forthcoming with the outcome, which sources say was borne out of the promise made to President Goodluck Jonathan by the union to inform him of its decision before going public.

It was learnt that the NEC meeting which attracted ‘fair representation’ from over 50 universities was held at Mambayya House. Vanguard gathered lecturers were divided on the issue of suspension of the over 5months strike.

The Universities lecturers were conveyed to the venue of the secret meeting in two Coaster buses, secured by the union’s Kano chapter, in order to avoid the attention of the press and public.

A competent source close to ASUU told Vanguard in Kano that “we still have 40 – 60 percent situations here after the meeting; the resolution from the north favours the call off while their peers from the South strongly support the continuation of the strike”.

According to the source, “however , we were able to take a middle course that would be pleasant to Nigerians, but that will not be discussed now at the public domain until we meet Mr. President in line with our last discussion”.

Effort to reach Dr Nasiru Fagge, the national President of ASUU was abortive as he failed to pick up calls.

ASUU NEC Meeting: Leaders met, set to suspend strike -Punch

There is strong indication that academic activities may resume in the nation’s public universities early next week, Saturday Punch has gathered.

Our correspondent gathered on Friday that members of the National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of the Universities again converged on Kano to deliberate on whether to call off their over four months old industrial action or not.

The NEC members, who gathered at the Bayero University, Kano, penultimate week to review the reports of the various university congresses over the strike, suspended the meeting following the death of Dr. Festus Iyayi. Iyayi, a University of Benin lecturer and former ASUU president, who died in an auto accident involving the convoy of the Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada, on his way to Kano to attend the NEC meeting.

There has been no date yet for the interment of his remains.

However, feelers from Kano on Friday indicated that the ASUU members went into hiding for the meeting.

One of our correspondents gathered that the NEC members, who reconvened in BUK, on Thursday, retired to a secret location for the meeting.

Reporters made frantic efforts to trace the venue of the meeting without success.

But many vehicles belonging to the members of the union were seen on campus.

But a member of ASUU NEC, who craved anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the development, confirmed to our correspondent that the union leaders were converging on Kano for the meeting.

According to him, though the union has lost a leading member and an academic, they were mindful of the feelings of the students and the public over the protracted industrial action.

He noted that all the union’s national officers as well as other branch chairmen had arrived at the ancient city for the assembly.

However, attempts by our correspondent on Friday evening to reach out to the University of Lagos chapter ASUU Chairman, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, to confirm the meeting failed, as he did not pick his calls.

He also did not respond to the text message sent to his telephone.

Ogbinaka had earlier said the academic community was mourning Iyayi and so was not in a hurry to fix a new date for the NEC meeting.

The telephone line of the union’s National President, Dr.Nassir Fagge, also did not go through.

President Goodluck Jonathan had led a Federal Government team that met with the leadership of the union penultimate week.

Following the discussion, the FG reportedly promised to inject N220bn yearly into the public universities for the next five years. The new offer is to begin from 2014.

A majority of the chapters of the union had agreed on the suspension of the strike following the fresh commitment the leadership of ASUU obtained from the FG.
