Apple is said to be preparing for a September 9 iPhone event this year, at which we’ll likely see the next generation iPhone devices, according to Re/Code’s John Paczkowski. The date would be in keeping with past iPhone launches, and early reports suggest we’ll see the company reveal larger-screened iPhone devices on that day. Typically, Apple holds its event and and then release devices to the public a little over a week later after first launching pre-orders.
We’ve heard that Apple will be unveiling at least devices with 4.7-inch screens, and perhaps smartphones with even larger, 5.5-inch displays as well at this event, though it isn’t yet clear that both will launch at the same time. A range of other rumors surround the new devices, including evidence of all-metal designs for both models, as well as the possible introduction of new barometer, temperature and humidity sensors, as well as support for near-field communications (NFC).
Apple will likely make iOS 8 available to consumers coincident with the iPhone 6 launch, so an update pushed live for users of existing devices around that time, too. We’ll also learn if Apple provides any hardware-specific features in iOS 8 designed exclusively for the next generation of iPhone, and whatever new capabilities it may pack within.
