Apple will hold its World Wide Developer Conference on September 9, 2014 where there will be huge media presence. At the conference Apple will announce its next generation smart phone, the iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 is the most anticipated smart phone of the year. Many consumers have held back to upgrade their previous generation iPhone and are waiting for the release of iPhone 6. Our editor and publisher Arianna Vall gathered a random survey of consumers waiting to get their hands on iPhone 6 around Southern California, and here is what the consumers had to say:
Total number of people Surveyed = 1150
59% were existing iPhone holders
92% of the 59% said they will renew their iPhones to iPhone 6
95% of the 59% said they have held back to upgrade to iPhone 6
42% said they prefer the current iPhone size and would not like a bigger 4.7" iPhone 6
56% said Apple is on the right track to change the current screen size of 3.5" to 4.5" or 4.7"
65% said a screen size of 4.2" or 4.5" would be just perfect
9% of the non-iPhone holders said they would consider switching over to iPhone 6 when released.
Psychology is the name of the game. Many consumers believe the iPhone 6 release would be a major change compare to the previous generations of the Apple iPhones. Also, there are currently some Android owners who simply believe bigger is better, and that is why they might switched over to iPhone 6.
iPhone 6 rumored Specs
- iPhone 6 Screen sizes: 4.7
- iPhone 6 5.5-inches (Phablet)
- iPhone 6 Internal Storage: Same as iPhone 5: 16GB , 32GB , 64GB
- iPhone 6 possible new features: (Up to 128GB internal storage or expandable storage and Better camera)
- New iOS 8 operating system
- NFC chip
- A8 processor
- Heart rate EarPods

In conclusion, Apple may score high on their next generation of the iPhone release. Although Apple has produced some really high quality smart phones in the last few years. but after Steve Job's death, Apple lost momentum and grounds in the smart phone market place. Blame it on their marketing strategy, or simply Apple's lack of desire to listen to its consumers. Some of its consumers flocked over to Android.. But this time Apple has done its homework, they have spent millions of dollars to query its consumers on the features and the design of iPhone 6. As we surveyed people, many people have been waiting for the iPhone 6 release. They consider this release as a major change, and not just a simple upgrade. There will be a small number of the Android owners that might switch over to iPhone 6 if Apple release the 4.7" and 5.5" Phablet at the same time. As an owner of an Android device, I believe that Apple's iPhone 6 will sell like hotcakes when it is released in late September to mid-October of this year.
