While it seems more or less clear that the iPhone 6 4,7-inch will be ready for the usual September keynote, there are many more doubts regarding the phablet of 5,5 inches preparing the signature. Transferring the qualities of the product to such a large format is costing those from Cupertino a bit more than expected, and they already assume that its launch could be delayed until 2015.
The very size of Apple's phablet is complicating your process production beyond what is appropriate. Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the analysts closest to the apple environment, has predicted that the larger format iPhone It will not be ready until 2015, given the problems that currently exist with several of its parts. The same contingencies were experienced with the 4,7 model inches, although in this case they were easier to solve.
Sapphire crystal and metal cover are the main impediments
Although sapphire crystal is, in theory, harder than Gorilla Glass, for now its mounting and adaptation to 5,5 inches it's a little green. Apple sources believe that this type of component would be very difficult to pass a few Drop test convincingly.
Another problem with the terminal has to do with the painting of the rear metal casing. Unlike iPads and previous generations of iPhones, Apple plans to use a protective film to avoid scratches on the surface, but the size, once more, complicates the component finish.
An uncertain future, although we cannot rule it out for this year
Although Kuo is one of the most reliable reference sources when it comes to foresee Apple's move, forecasts regarding the 6-inch iPhone 5,5 take time jumping from September to November, and even the possibility that the equipment will not hit stores until next year has even been previously mentioned as well.
The only thing we can leave you for now of what will be the first phablet of the apple are these images caught on the net exactly one month ago.
We will be attentive to any new details that arise in relation to this issue.
