Will the iPhone 6 be the first iPhone with NFC?

Does Near Field Communications make the iPhone 5 or iPhone 6?

First off, what is Near Field Communications (NFC)?
From Wikipedia:

Near field communication, or NFC, is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4 cm or less. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz and at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 848 kbit/s. NFC always involves an initiator and a target; the initiator actively generates an RF field that can power a passive target. This enables NFC targets to take very simple form factors such as tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards that do not require batteries. NFC peer-to-peer communication is also possible, where both devices are powered.

What is Near Field Communications (NFC) used for?

NFC technology is intended mainly for use in mobile phones. There are currently three specific uses for NFC:

• Card emulation: the NFC device behaves like an existing contactless card
• Reader mode: the NFC device is active and reads a passive RFID tag, for example for interactive advertising
• P2P mode: two NFC devices communicating together and exchanging information.

Plenty of applications are possible, such as:

• Mobile ticketing in public transport: an extension of the existing contactless infrastructure, such as Mobile Phone Boarding Pass.
• Mobile payment: the device acts as a debit/credit payment card.
• Smart poster: the mobile phone is used to read RFID tags on outdoor billboards.
• Bluetooth pairing: in the future, pairing of Bluetooth 2.1 devices with NFC support will be as easy as bringing them close together and accepting the pairing. The process of activating Bluetooth on both sides, searching, waiting, pairing and authorization will be replaced by simply bringing the mobile phones close to each other.

What does this mean for the iPhone 6?

Well first of all we must see if the iPhone 5 will get this technology.  An earlier report from UK based Independent suggested that the next generation iPhone would not have the wireless communications system built in.  That came as a surprise, because Google is already placing the technology in their Android Based Phones.
Forbes is now reporting that NFC in the iPhone 5 is likely.  Details will be released at the annual iPhone event by Apple.
If the iPhone 5 gets NFC this year, one of the primary concerns is lack of industry standards regarding this contactless communication.
That means the iPhone 6 could just mark an improvement over the next generation iPhone’s capabilities.  If the iPhone 5 goes not debut with NFC, then the iPhone 6 will mark the first Apple phone to have this capability.  Given the expected summer 2012 release date and rumor, Apple may hurt the short term sales, but significantly bolster iPhone 6 sales by debuting the technology then.
Stay tuned for more iPhone 6 rumors and specs as they become available.

iPhone 6 coming with Graphene Touchscreen?

is this one more solid rumor of the iPhone 6 being a “green” phone?

The iPhone 6 is rumored to be the world’s first phone to have a graphene touchscreen.  This would be a very thin environmentally friendly screen on the iPhone 6 with a very fast response time.

So what is Graphene scientifically and what does that mean for the iPhone 6?

Taken from wiki:

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp²-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice.^[1] The term graphene was coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene by Hanns-Peter Boehm,^[2][3] who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962.^[4] Graphene is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The crystalline or “flake” form of graphite consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.
The carbon-carbon bond length in graphene is about 0.142 nanometers.^[5] Graphene sheets stack to form graphite with an interplanar spacing of 0.335 nm, which means that a stack of 3 million sheets would be only one millimeter thick. Graphene is the basic structural element of some carbon allotropes including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. It can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule, the limiting case of the family of flat polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

So essentially we can get a super thin, super light weight, environmentally conscious screen that will benefit the end user as well because of the response time.  Do you think it’s possible the iPhone 6 comes with a Graphene Touchscreen?

iphone 6 release date

Is the iPhone 6 Release Date June 2012?

Initial Speculation points to the iPhone 6 being released next summer

The iPhone 5 is set to be released sometime in the summer of 2011, and this had led many to believe the iPhone 6 release date is in June 2012.  Early reports suggest the iPhone 6 will be the first Verizon 4G LTE iPhone iteration.
If the iPhone 5 comes out in summer 2011, many think June 2012 may be too soon or quick for the next models release.
If the iPhone 6 deploys as a 4G device on both Verizon and AT&T (well AT&T and T-Mobile soon) and as the ONLY 4G device on Verizon’s network, then we understand the need to rush out the iPhone 6 for an earlier release date.

iPhone 6 Rumors and Speculation

What may be different about the iPhone 6?

All we can do is speculate at this point but there are many things to consider in the world of iPhone 6 Rumors.

Processing Power

Dual Core processors are common across all manufacturers now, so is there any legitimacy to the iPhone 6 rumor of a potential quad core processor?

4G Capability on both Verizon & AT&T

Will the iPhone 6 really be the first Apple offering that is 4G on both networks?

Storage Capacity

What about internal storage size or the ability to add an external micro SD card?  32 GB Micro SD Cards are commonplace now, so could we be looking at a 128 GB card in summer 2012 for the iPhone 6?

iPhone 6 Battery Life

How long will the battery last?  This is obviously going to be dependent on the technology used for the battery, but it could have a 24 hour talk time before needed a recharge.

Will the iPhone 6 be the worlds first “green” phone?

The case material of the iPhone 6 could be made of sort sort of recyclable material.  This could be plastic or aluminum.  It seems that each new Apple device gets smaller and sleeker.  The battery could be made of recycled materials, or could be what is known as an ORB.
Taken from Wikipedia:

ORB’s are characterized by an extremely thin profile (0.3 mm), flexibility, and very fast charge time (about 30 seconds), in addition to a relatively high energy density (1 mWh per square cm). The technology is also being welcomed by environmentalists because ORB batteries do not contain any of the heavy metals that pose the problem of proper disposal.

How many Megapixels will the Camera of the iPhone 6 be?

It’s safe to say it will record in 1080p video, probably have some type of HDMI output, and have some type of zoom in / out control.  But will the iPhone 6 have features that rival current high end point and shoot or even current DSLR cameras?

How big will the screen be?

Will the iPhone 6 move up to 4.3 inches to match the current Android phones like the Droid X or will Apple decide to stay with the same size, smaller screen.

These are just rumors at this point, and we’re not certifying any of this as fact – but we’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on what the iPhone 6 will bring to the table – so please leave a comment!

iPhone 6 Rumors – 6 Inch Screen?

Apple says larger screen coming, but for which device?

According to a report from AppleInsider Apple plans to release a device that is 6 inches in size.
That sounds pretty big for a phone (like the iPhone 6) but sounds relatively small for a tablet.  Could this just be a larger iPod Touch?
The product has been marketed as either a Super iPhone 6 or an iPad Mini.  We feel it is an odd screen size, and is not portable enough for a cell phone.  It also seems to small for a high powered tablet device, so unless the price point is very low – we’re hoping the iPhone 6 is not 6 inches.
