Will the iPhone 5S Actually Be the iPhone 6?

Apple released an extremely small update for a plethora of its apps including iPhoto, Pages, and iMovie.

The updates address some “compatibility issues”. The juicy part of this case is that it says they’ve been “optimized for iPhone 6” or even “iPhone 7” based on region. Is it really possible that Apple is pulling a 360 on us and gearing up for something more than an evolutionary iPhone 5S release?

We are expecting an iPhone 5S to be released on Tuesday at an Apple event. We are assuming this because of past iPhone releases: Apple releasing an iPhone 4, then a 4S. These “S” updates are usually minor updates without any radical design changes and tend to focus on improving the current iPhone experience, and maybe adding one or two big, new features (this year, the rumor mill has pointed to a fingerprint scanner and a new champagne color). So it might be that Apple is completely trolling us with these application update descriptions.

If Apple were to release an iPhone 6, rather than an iPhone 5S, which would just be largely an improved version of last year’s iPhone 5, it would defiantly be a huge shocker and would better compete with other upcoming phones, such as the Galaxy Note 3, for sales this upcoming holiday season.

This may just be an odd mistake or even done on purpose to throw us a bone and get us taking about Apple on this fine Saturday (which is pretty smart, if this is this case). This is a very interesting, and maybe somewhat comedic, move by Apple. This sure gives us a little bit more to look forward to on Tuesday!
