Even though the new year came a couple of days ago, there are already new rumours about Apple’s next smartphone. Sources claim that the tech giant is currently working on iPhone 6 and iOS 7.
The news came from The Next Web. Apparently a developer informed the website that the upcoming versions of Apple’s smartphone device is identified as “iPhone 6.1”. This may sound a bit strange to some, as the last-released device is only iPhone 5, but not even iPhone 5S or iPhone 6. In addition, the phone is said to run on a brand new operating system called iOS 7. This information is shown in the app usage logs. In addition, the IP address which has sent the application requests is located in the company’s Cupertino campus, it is written. That points that people from the giant’s app and software development teams may be actually running some tests using popular apps from the App Store.
There is still no information about the possible specs and parameters of the next-generation device or its operating system. However, media observers say that Apple will finally add some colour to its flagship iPhone similar to what it did with some other products like the iPod Touch and iPod. Website MacRumours even claims that the Apple may launch a smartphone in 6 to 8 colours.
In addition, the site predicts that the new device’s screen will come in various sizes. According to MacRumours, that is because the tech company has never offered a display size choice for one model. The website states that this could be a winning move for Apple Inc. since it would certainly attract more consumers.
Usually Apple unveils its major products at the WWDC event which in most cases takes place somewhere around June. Before last year’s WWDC, there were rumours of a new iOS. A month after that they turned true when iOS 6 was officially shown at Apple’s big annual event.
Following Apple-related rumors is exactly that: following rumors! If it was fun for tech geeks in the past and a necessity for industry insiders till today, evidently is becoming a bit boring nowadays.
