Apple iPhone 6 could launch as early as August

Reports coming in from Taiwan suggest the iPhone 6 could be unveiled as early as August and launch a couple of weeks later as per Apple's tradition.

Those reports target the "smaller" 4.7" iPhone 6 and not the rumored 5.5" variant. The latter is expected to hit the shelves a month later in September.

The next iPhone should bring a large update of the smartphone and not just an "s" model. It's expected to bring along a bigger, sapphire-covered display (Apple is shipping sapphire to China for the display manufacturing).

The next-gen iPhone (or iPhones) will almost certainly be bigger and we've seen dummies and panels give hints about the approximate the size of the device.

The Apple iPhone 6 will likely ship with the next iteration of iOS, which Apple will unveil at its WWDC conference in June of this year. iOS 8 could carry a fitness-related Healthbook app along with an iTunes Radio app, improved mapping and transit data and various tweaks and modifications.
