What can you expect?

We've combed the web for leaked photos, rumors, and gossip and rounded them all up here in one place.

The iPhone 6 will be unveiled on Sept. 9

Apple will hold its press event to introduce the iPhone 6 on Sept. 9, according to Re/code, which has a strong track record when it comes to reporting accurate Apple news. Apple could also unveil its first wearable device, presumably the iWatch, on that day too. 



The iPhone 6 will probably have a larger screen.

The most prominent rumor surrounding the iPhone 6 is that Apple will bump the screen size up to 4.7 inches. It all started when Reuters reported that Apple was testing 4.7-inch smartphone displays last June. Since then, other reports have been consistent. 

There have also been reports Apple will release a 5.5-inch model of the phone.



Apple may also release an even larger "phablet" version of the iPhone.

If 4.7 inches isn't big enough for you, Apple may release a giant 5.5-inch iPhone as well. Initial rumors suggested that both versions would launch together, but multiple reports have also said that Apple was experiencing production issues with the larger model.  

Newer reports, however, have claimed to show leaked components from both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the larger model, hinting they could be released at the same time. 



The display may be made of scratch-resistant sapphire.

Your next iPhone may be less prone to damage. Earlier this year, Gurman also reported that Apple had purchased enough equipment to make hundreds of millions of sapphire glass screens for iPhones. Next to diamonds, sapphire is the second-strongest glassy material. This means that it'll be virtually completely scratch resistant— although that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be any less prone to cracks. 



Here's a look at just how scratch resistant the screen might be...

YouTube user Marques Brownlee recently posted a video showing what he said was the iPhone 6's sapphire crystal display. In the video, he puts the display through a rigorous torture test, which includes scratching it with a knife, bending it under his shoe, and scraping it with keys. The screen was able to hold up without any noticeable damage.
