The American company Apple has not failed with its appointment: on September 9, it officially presented, among other novelties, the new iPhone 6 accompanied by its respective larger version called the iPhone 6 Plus. This presentation served to resolve once and for all the doubts that existed in relation to the technical specifications of the new iPhone, and with it all the rumors about characteristics of doubtful credibility suddenly disappeared. Taking advantage of this occasion, we are going to take a look at all the rumors related to the iPhone 6 - at least the ones with the most media coverage.they had - to discover what percentage of credibility we should give to this type of leaks related to Apple products.
Rumors about the iPhone 6 that were right
1. - The design
The first filtered photos of the iPhone 6 showed us a very rounded smartphone with a very marked curved design. Taking into account that since the iPhone 5S we came from a much more rectangular design, at first these photographs did not have great credibility on the network and went unnoticed as one of the many leaks that appeared during those days. Finally, we have been able to verify that the design of the iPhone 6 is noticeably more rounded compared to that of the iPhone 5S, which shows us that these photographs were not at all misguided in terms of the prototypes that appeared in them.
2. - The capacities of the batteries
A leak appeared at the beginning of the month of July we put on the track of the capacity of the batteries that could come built into the iPhone 6 4.7 inches and the iPhone 6 5.5 inches. This leak pointed out that the smaller iPhone 6 would come with a 1,800 to 1,900 mAh battery, while the larger iPhone 6 would come with a 2,500 mAh battery. Finally, time has shown us that the filtration was not misguided at all, since the iPhone 6 incorporates a 1,810 mAh battery, while the iPhone 6 Plushouses a battery with a capacity of 2,915 mAh.
3. - The camera protrudes above the rear case
A rumor that appeared a few days after the presentation of the iPhone 6 is the one that put us on the track of the possibility that Apple incorporated in its new iPhone a camera with a design that would protrude slightly above the back cover. It was a very similar design to that of the main camera of the 5th generation iPod Touch, and finally we can confirm both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus come with a camera that protrudes slightly above the back cover.
4. - Internal storage capacities
Shortly before the official presentation of the iPhone 6, several leaked documents appeared that revealed that the internal storage capacity of this smartphone would reach 128 GigaBytes and that, in addition, Apple would dispense with the 32 GigaBytes version. Finally this rumor was completely true, since both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus can only be purchased in versions with 16, 64 and 128 GigaBytes of internal memory.
Rumors about the iPhone 6 that have turned out to be false
1. - The lighted apple logo
In the midst of the rain of leaks and rumors that occurred during the summer months in relation to the iPhone 6, information appeared that suggested that the Apple logo of the iPhone 6 could be illuminated with notifications. The idea would not be so far-fetched if it weren't for the fact that a notification light located on the back of a mobile phone is not as practical as one would expect, especially if we take into account that the most common when leaving the mobile on a flat surface is to rest it on the back case.
2. - Water resistance
One of the first photographs that appeared in relation to the iPhone 6 not only revealed a good part of its design, but also put us on the track that the new iPhone 6 could be waterproof. It is true that this conclusion was drawn from the few drops of water that appeared on the screen of this smartphone, although at that time the probability that the new Apple mobile would come with water resistance was quite high, especially considering Note that more and more manufacturers incorporate this specification in their high-end mobiles.
3. - The sapphire screen
Probably the rumor of the sapphire screen has been one of the most repeated in relation to the iPhone 6. At first it was thought that the two versions of the iPhone 6 would incorporate a sapphire screen, then leaks appeared that revealed that it would only be the 5.5-inch version that would incorporate this ultra-resistant material and, finally, not the iPhone 6 of 4.7 inches nor the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 have incorporated a sapphire display. The material chosen by Apple for the screens of these two mobiles has been ion-reinforced glass.
