News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone 6 specification

While the Apple iPhone 6 is only expected in 2014, already rumours have surfaced regarding this smartphone. This time around rumour mongers are almost certain that Apple will increase the screen size to a 4.8-inch display compared to the current 4-inch display, which is rather dated compared to other smartphones which have gone to 4.5-inch to 4.7-inch or all the way to 5-inch displays. The rumour comes courtesy of various analysts mentioning a larger screen Apple iPhone. Like all rumours for next year, we advocate that you take a big pinch of salt with this as it seems more like wishful thinking than anything concrete, and so much can change in a year. Unfortunately, no other tech specs or exact Malaysia release dates details were available but stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

Concept renderers often predict what may happen in the future when a new smartphone, tablet or other device hasn't appeared just yet. As you can expect some are accurate while some are just plain fantasy. One fantasy concept render of the Apple iPhone 6 has recently appeared showing completely bezel free edge to edge usage of a flexible screen in a super thin housing. While the initial design retains many of the aspects for an iPhone it doesn't really show why anyone would find a use for such a display. Personally, we'd be wondering where to grip the darn thing but it does offer a cool concept render of a customizable phone interface where you could define where the controls on the sides would be and for what purpose.

Smartphone concept renders are often indicators of what the actual smartphone maker would do but these transforming Apple iPhone 6 concept renders by designer Pritesh Chavan is a bit beyond what we're expecting from Apple. Utilising flexible screens that fold out as needed from a 4.2-inch smartphone to a 5.8-inch phablet to a 7.5-inch tablet the concept relies on technology that isn't there just yet. While we agree that it would certainly be cool this would more likely be the Apple iPhone 7 or 8 than next year's Apple iPhone 6. For more information and renders go check out the concept at the designer's site.

A while back, Apple patented a wraparound display for a smartphone which cropped up as rumours for the next Apple iPhone design. Well, we're not saying that this really will happen for the Apple iPhone 6, but someone went that extra mile to bring us some realistic renders of a wraparound Apple iPhone 6 concept.

According to this concept, this wraparound Apple iPhone 6 will have a resolution of 1615 x 1800 pixels, a Facetime HD front facing camera, NFC support and a Lightning connector. The video render also shows some possible gestures and other features with the wraparound phone.

Rumours regarding future smartphones never seem to stop, but renders regarding smartphone concepts are few and far in between. Quite often, what is shown in the renders are very close to what appears in the finished smartphone product which is why many were surprised with this latest concept video regarding the Apple iPhone 6. Changes regarding this future smartphone as envisioned by this concept include:

• A Smaller iPhone design
• A bigger 4.5-inch screen
• Narrower bezels
• No Home Button
