New Apple smartphones of 2014

We can confidently predict the arrival iPhone 6, although there is some debate as to when it will likely arrive. November is the safe bet, in keeping with other iPhone launches, but there is strong support for the suggestion of a May iPhone launch. This may be because Apple is also rum out red to be getting in to the table game, with a 6in 'iPhone Air' rum out red to be arriving early in the year.

Most predict that the iPhone 6 will have a bigger display and be constructed from even thinner and lighter material. Indeed it is expected to be the thinnest ever smartphone, with an unscratched Sapphire glass display. And even if Apple does launch an iPhone Air table, expect the iPhone 6 itself to be bigger - possibly with a 5in display. For more, see: iPhone 6 release date: When will the iPhone 6 be launched.
