Every year there comes a time when rumors regarding the launching of a new iPhone begin. So, this year is not an exception and the public (potential clients) already began to think of Apple’s release of the new iPhone 6. Also, the industry analysts started to share impressions and predictions on how the iPhone will look like and what will have extra when in comes to hardware, compared to the last versions of the device.

A few months ago the news talked about Apple’s presence at the Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco with the new iPhone 5S, announced this year.

When it comes to the iPhone 6, there were rumors on the new iPhone having 2 approaches, as in 2 different screen sizes, in order to satisfy the customers willing to get a 4.5-inch device.

One of the key persons  who shared their opinion was the designer Ran Avni.  He expressed his vision regarding the new device and his conclusions were that the device is an elegant and shiny one and it will for sure become a great device in Apple’s devices in 2013

In fact, the concept is a continuity of the iPhone 5 designed at the final quarter of 2012, but it has some extra improvements that will stand out in front of the competition.

What differentiates these devices might be the display which, according to Avni will be extended to a screen size that will include a 4.5-inch Retina display, compared to the iPhone 5 and the iPod touch 5th generation which only have a 4-inch display

When it comes to the shell, the device is predicted to be similar to the existing devices, still will be improved by having a thin bezel on the front which might mean that the final product will be lighter, having less grams.

What is interesting is that the designer has changed the structure of the home button, eliminating it and giving no explanation on how the users will exit the apps, without this button which was very useful; still  the iOS 7 might introduce the gesture based action for this.

More to say, the analysts suggest that the new iPhone could be fingerprint detection which is positioned below the home button. Still, Ran Avni imagines the device without the home button. Which will be the lucky winner, though?

For the moment, nothing is sure regarding the iPhone 6, as none of the rumors has been officially confirmed. Maybe just the fact that it will soon be released. Meanwhile all we can do is wait for more news on this topic and hope the new device will find the best solution for becoming a leader on the market.
