Luckily, we\u2019ve put together a surprisingly easy guide for you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>When is it coming out?<\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s the big question out of the way first: it\u2019s coming out on September 19<sup>th<\/sup>, <a title=\"according to a German mobile network\" href=\"https:\/\/bgr.com\/2014\/06\/25\/iphone-6-release-date-september-details\/\">according to a German mobile network.<\/a>\u00a0This sounds about right, as previous iPhones have been released in September too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>What does it look like?<\/h4>\n<p>This (apparently):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iPhone-61.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-773\" alt=\"iPhone 6\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iPhone-61.jpg\" width=\"440\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iPhone-61.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iPhone-61-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Why are they bringing out another iPhone so soon?<\/h4>\n<p>Money, of course!<\/p>\n<p>Well, not entirely. Apple actually release a new phone every year with various improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 6 is particularly important to Apple, as the iPhone is looking a bit outdated next to the HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>I\u2019ve heard there\u2019s going to be 2 new iPhones this year<\/h4>\n<p>Apparently so, according to more or less every tech news outlet. Although the only major difference will be screen size: there\u2019ll be a 4.8\u201d\u009d model for people who like smaller phones, and a 5.7\u201d\u009d model for people who like carrying book-sized objects in their pocket (you can see the apparent difference in the picture above).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>What new features will the iPhone 6 have?<\/h4>\n<p>Good question. We don\u2019t know. In fact, nobody does apart from the lovely folks at Apple.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s always speculation to fall back on, and plenty of it too. Here are some of the most exciting rumoured features.<\/p>\n<p><b>A bigger screen<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This should be a given, seeing as the iPhone looks like a portable TV in comparison to the behemoth screens of the Galaxy and LG G2.<\/p>\n<p><b>Better quality display<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Depending on who you believe, the iPhone 6 will either have a 1704 x 960 pixel display (triple the iPhone 5\u2019s) or a 2560 x 1600 display. Either way, it\u2019ll be the best looking iPhone display yet by a long way.<\/p>\n<p><b>iOS 8 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s already been revealed at Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developer\u2019s Conference <a title=\"The Surprisingly Easy Guide to\u201d\u00a6The iOS 8 Announcement\" href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/2014\/06\/03\/the-surprisingly-easy-guide-to-the-ios-8-announcement\/\">(read more about it here)<\/a>, and the iPhone 6 would be the perfect platform to show it off on.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stronger glass on the screen<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Finally, something to help all those poor souls walking around with cracked screens! Rumour has it the iPhone 6 will utilise Sapphire glass, which is basically unbreakable.<\/p>\n<p><b>Made of metal<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Aluminium is the chic smartphone material at the moment, so Apple will probably jump on board. Or, they might decide to blaze a different trail and use something completely different.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wireless and Solar Charging<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Wireless charging should be included, but we\u2019re more excited about the possibility of solar charging. Imagine: the sun charging your phone as you walk about. No more dead batteries (hopefully)!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>How much will it cost?<\/h4>\n<p>Well \u201d\u201c it depends who you ask. Given the fact the iPhone 6 will use better quality materials, have amazing features and be in high demand, you\u2019d expect that it\u2019d cost quite a lot \u201d\u201c perhaps even more than Apple <a title=\"sell iPhone 5's\" href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/sell-mobile-phones\/sell-my-iphone\/\">sells iPhone 5\u2019s<\/a> for at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Most agree that it will cost roughly the same as the 5 though: \u00a3549 for a 16GB model, \u00a3629 for a 32GB and \u00a3709 for a 64GB.<\/p>\n<p>In short, you\u2019ll want to <a title=\"sell your iPhone\" href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/sell-mobile-phones\/sell-my-iphone\/\">sell your iPhone<\/a> to make some cash towards it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll add more details to this page as they emerge, so keep an eye out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone 6 is the most anticipated device in Apple\u2019s history, and possibly the most anticipated smartphone ever &#8211; even though Apple hasn&#8217;t told us anything about it.
