iPhone 6 to Feature Ultra Retina Display & 2.6GHz A8 Processor?

Following the release of the iPhone 5s, this is definitely no “s” year for Apple. The company is expected to release a new iPhone with a larger screen, a fresh design, and new, powerful internals.

Apple loves using the “Air” moniker on its products, hence the Macbook Air and iPad Air, and may throw the iPhone some “Air” love as well. This theoretical iPhone Air will be 0.22 inches thin, according to Sonny Dickson. This razor-thin design may house a super high-res “Ultra Retina” screen, boasting 389 PPI. Size-wise, previous speculation points to two display options: 4.7 inches and 5.7 inches, a vast difference from the 5s’s 4-inch canvas. An A8 processor clocked at a blazing 2.6GHz will power the device, Dickson says.

A lot of Android phones have come out in the past six months, such as LG’s G2, have featured Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) built into the camera. OIS is a technique used to help reduce blur caused with the motion of a camera during exposure. OIS has proven to be superior to digital stabilization, which smartphones have traditionally used. Considering the iPhone’s camera has not seen an overhaul since the 4S back in 2011, Apple is definitely interested in giving the camera a makeover this fall. OIS is an inclusion that would put Apple’s flagship smartphone on pace with its Android and Windows Phone counterparts and will help continue the legendary legacy of cameras equipped on the iPhone.

If all these rumors end up shaping our next-gen iPhone, then we sure have something to look forward to. This is not a “baby-step year” for Apple. With Samsung, Apple’s biggest competitor in terms of market share, using 2014 as a “baby-step year” with the Galaxy S5, Apple definitely has a chance to usurp sales back to its side. This upcoming fall all are eyes on you, Mr. Cook.
