Maybe. Probably. Hopefully.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, everyone\u2019s getting very excited and speculating about all kinds of wonderful features. Trying to keep up with it all is basically a full time job, and likely to give you some form of headache.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t worry: saving you time and headaches is what we\u2019re here for (and <a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/sell-mobile-phones\/\">giving you cash for your phone too,<\/a> of course), which is why we\u2019ve trawled through thousands of websites (okay, more like 6) to bring you the juiciest new iPhone 6 rumours in one handy blog post. You can thank us later.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The launch date<\/h4>\n<p>After a lot of speculation, it looks as the iPhone 6 will definitely be launched in September (and not October, as many people thought).<\/p>\n<p>We may even have a specific date, with the reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/phone-and-communications\/mobile-phones\/iphone-6-launch-date-said-to-be-marked-for-september-9-1260380\">TechRadar urging us all to write \u201d\u02dcOMG iPHONE 6\u2019<\/a> in the calendar square reserved for <strong>Tuesday 9th September<\/strong>. Apple are reportedly holding a \u201d\u02dcbig media event\u2019 that day, where they\u2019ll probably reveal the new handset to the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/digits\/2014\/08\/05\/apple-to-introduce-new-iphones-at-sept-9-event\/\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> has also backed up this date after talking to mysterious \u201d\u02dcsources\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the iPhone 6 won\u2019t hit shops until a couple of weeks after the initial launch, so us common folk will (fingers crossed) get our hands on the new iPhone in <strong>mid-late September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>New pictures<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen a couple of images apparently depicting the new iPhone already, but more pictures have emerged and apparently these are DEFINITELY real as they were published by a Russian company who specialise in high-end smartphone modifications.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you don\u2019t want to see what the new iPhone will look like until launch day, look away now (and scroll down really quickly).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/iphone-6-leaked1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1516\" alt=\"iPhone 6\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/iphone-6-leaked1.png\" width=\"610\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/iphone-6-leaked1.png 610w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/iphone-6-leaked1-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/r47kCuLS5w\">Feld &amp; Volk<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to other pictures released recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/phone-and-communications\/mobile-phones\/iphone-6-image-leak-points-towards-super-slim-design-1213736\">the iPhone 6 is going to be so slim<\/a> that it practically disappears when you look at it from the side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/c-tech-iphone.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1517\" alt=\"C-Tech iPhone\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/c-tech-iphone.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/c-tech-iphone.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/c-tech-iphone-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image credit: <a title=\"C-Tech via TechRadar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/phone-and-communications\/mobile-phones\/iphone-6-image-leak-points-towards-super-slim-design-1213736\">C-Tech, via TechRadar<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>A reversible USB port<\/h4>\n<p>Apple are the masters of fixing problems we didn\u2019t know we had, and they\u2019ve done it again by coming up with a solution to age-old trauma of&#8230;erm, trying to plug a USB cable in the wrong way round.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweek.co.uk\/technology\/iphone-6\/58548\/iphone-6-lightning-cable-will-end-usb-frustration\">Australian blogger Sonny Dickson<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to plug Apple\u2019s new Lightning cables in regardless of which way up you\u2019re holding the USB end, which will save you all of 2 seconds.

They\u2019re also having to figure out how to get their apps to interact with TVs and other electronics, which suggests the iPhone 6 will be able to connect and control a lot of other devices.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Protruding cameras and attachable lenses<\/h4>\n<p>The iPhone 6 apparently boasts a 10-megapixel camera, which &#8211; for the less tech-savvy among us &#8211; means that it takes nicer pictures than most other smartphone cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The camera also protrudes from the back of the phone, which means you can attach your own lenses if you fancy getting a bit technical\/arty.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For more information on the iPhone 6, check out our <a title=\"The Surprisingly Easy Guide to the iPhone 6\u201d\u00a6So Far\" href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wordpress\/2014\/06\/26\/the-surprisingly-easy-guide-to-the-iphone-6-so-far\/\">Surprisingly Easy Guide to The iPhone 6 (so far)<\/a>.
