iPhone 6 With a Big Screen Comming in 2014?

 As CNET reports, Citi recently made a note to Apple's investors with some general ideas about where the company is going with their products. The investment bank commented that the iPhone 5C will be a very possible new addition to the family this year and that an iWatch could possibly land in stores by the end of the year. The company has also made some interesting comments regarding the release of the iPhone 6 which are very intriguing to say the least.

 So, let us cut right to the iPhone 6 news shall we? According to this source the next generation iPhone 6 release date is likely to be somewhere in the first half of the next year. Aside from using better technology and stronger hardware, this new device should be also quite larger than previous models have been so far. It is a high probability that Apple is looking to expand their offer by providing larger devices, but they are expected to stay true to their previous user base by providing phones that do not exceed the 4-inch display margin.

 Another important note passed on by Citi is that the newly expected iPhone 5C will probably have a $450 retail selling price. Since an average smartphone costs are ~$225 this is rather expensive and it can hardly be considered a low-budget device. However, we all knew that Apple isn't exactly interested in creating a low-budget product, it is more a case of "lower" budget.

 What do you guys think about these news? Leave us a comment down bellow!

iPhone 6 Processor Already In the Works

 While the latest iPhone device was great, Apple still left a lot to be desired and everyone is hopping that the upcoming iPhone 6 will not leave us hanging dry. Luckily, rumors are already spreading that Apple is working on a next-gen processing chip for their new devices. Reports suggest that Apple has picked the A8 chip architecture powerhouse, which uses 20nm processes nodes.

iPhone 6 Processor TSMC
Say goodbye to the old generations!

 The source of the news is DigiTimes and their reporters state that Apple has awarded a three-year contract to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). While most people haven't heard of TSMC, it is actually a big name in the tech industry since many famous Western companies outsource their work over to them. In the past 24h their stocks went up by 3.5% which no doubt due to the news of the new contract. Anyway, TSMC has been contracted to manufacture the A8, A9 and A9X processing chips. These will be used in 2014 for a new series of devices. This would suggest that the iPhone 6 will not be coming out this year and that the upcoming iPhone that we heard about is actually the iPhone 5S.
