Apple has been quite consistent as far as the size
of the phones is concerned from the initial release in the year 2007. More or
less all the phones were within the 4 inch graph and no efforts were made by
the Apple developers to bring about any innovation until recently. Lately, the
phablet style phone, which is hybrid form of tablet and smartphone, has gained
a lot of popularity amongst the potential users. This concept was at first
brought in by the Samsung and the market response to it was absolutely overwhelming.
This trend has caught the attention of the
Apple developers and rumour has it that this Cupertino based smartphone manufacturing
company is all set to diversify its range of products to win over the maximum number
of consumers. Reporters of the Wall Street Journal have confirmed that Apple is
presently busy experimenting with different size of the next generation phone
which could be anything from 4.8 to 6 inch.
Two factors have triggered Apple to take such a
course of action. Firstly, though the phablet style phone has been well
accepted by the target consumers, but at present the market is practically unexplored.
Therefore, this is the perfect time for Apple to come up with such a smartphone
meeting up with the expectations of the consumers. Secondly, lately Apple has been
lying behind in the competition for capturing the market primarily because their
products remained more or less the same as its predecessors with no major
innovations that will provide the customers with an incentive to invest on its
range of products. Introduction of this new feature is definitely going to draw
the attention of the global consumers and they will be able to regain their position
in the mobile market.
Moreover, inclusion of this feature would also
imply that Apple products will stand on equal ground when compared with other smartphone
brands like Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 and thus providing the consumers to opt for
Apple gadgets instead of any other smartphone brands.
However, we cannot also rule out the fact Apple
developers experiment with such hundreds of prototypes every year and we get to
see only a few of them every year. So we are not exactly sure about the size of
iPhone 6. But there is no doubt about the fact that it will bigger in size than
iPhone 5c as all the prototypes developers are experimenting with are above 4.8
inch.
With the launch of iPhone 6 Apple would be
again a ruler in the market among other manufactures but other manufactures
would not be in silent background. Even there are rumors that Samsung, Sony and
LG are going to launch Galaxy Note 4, Sony Xperia Z3 and LG G3 smartphones. But
Apple is apple, so Iphone 6 would rule in the market for sure.
