We have all been under the assumption that Apple was going to release the iPhone 5S at the next WWDC but it looks like we were wrong. The iPhone 6 has made an appearance on Vodafone's inventory system implying that Apple is skipping the iPhone 5S.
New inventory listings sourced from UK carrier Vodafone suggest that Apple is making the jump to the iPhone 6 which means we should see a stronger array of changes that those we were expecting with the iPhone 5S. Many have argued that although the iPhone 5 brought a slightly larger display, svelte form factor and a relatively minor speed bump, these features don't justify a perceived major release.
It has been pointed out on a number of occasions that �S� releases simply imply something of a half hearted effort and although Apple could release the same seventh generation iPhone under the name iPhone 5, releasing it as an iPhone 6 implies that we will be getting a landmark release rather than a tentative spec upgrade.
Apple are under increasing pressure to improve their mobile software with iOS 7 and the kicker of an iPhone 6 in 2013 would help to ease the situation. Apple are expected to deliver iOS 7 at WWDC 2013 in June with the next generation iPhone following soon after this in September. Whether or not it is to be called the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 remains to be seen but you can be sure that we will keep you updated with any further information we receive.
