More iPhone 6 details emerge

Apple’s next-generation iPhone 6 will not feature a 13-megapixel or 16-megapixel camera as had been previously rumored. Instead, the upcoming handset will apparently sport an 8-megapixel unit that touts improvements in other areas.

“According to Nomura Securities, Largan’s recently lagging performance in the market is caused by rumors that Apple may adopt an 8 mega-pixel (MP) camera with improved optical image stabilization on its upcoming handset, instead of the 16 MP upgrade anticipated by industry observers,” The China Post’s Ted Chen wrote. “Apple’s decision is based on the design requirement to retain the handset’s more portable form factor, said Nomura Securities.”

The latest rumors suggest that Apple is prepping two new iPhone models that will debut this year. The first is supposedly an iPhone phablet that could launch as early as May, and the second is the iPhone 6, which will supposedly be thinner than the iPhone 5s and will feature a larger 4.7-inch display that reaches nearly to the edges of the device on either side.

iPhone 5S and 5" iPhone 6 to be Launched in 2013

We all know by now that Apple and iPhone rumors are a regular occurrence at this time of year, with the majority of the hear-say turning out to be exactly that. However, history has also educated us to the fact that more often than not there is never any smoke without fire, meaning that a lot of iPhone related rumors do turn out to have some substance behind them. The latest speculation is coming directly from Chinese sources who appear to be adamant of the existence of a new iPhone 5S and a larger 5-inch model that will be released under the iPhone 6 moniker.

Earlier analyst speculation held that Apple will release an iPhone 5S and a revamped version of the iPhone 5 in June or July. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted last month that the new S model would resemble the current model with a few improvements, including an A7 chip for faster performance and a fingerprint sensor. A larger screen size for an iPhone 6 might attract consumers smitten with Samsung's 4.8-inch Galaxy S3 and 5.5-inch Galaxy Note 2.

Manufacturers like Samsung have proved that smartphones with larger, vivid displays definitely do have a place in the smartphone industry, but whether or not Apple would ever go down that route remains to be seen.
