    Hold your breath, the iPhone 6 will hit the market soon, with more features than Apple's existing models. Here's a peek into what it may look like:

    Slimmer Size

    The iPhone 6 may be the slimmest yet. At a reported 6mm thick, it will shave 1.6 mm off the iPhone 5. So will it be called the iPhone Air?

    Larger Display

    The iPhone 6 will arrive as a 4.7-inch model and a 5.7-inch version, say analysts. Apple may also begin using a new screen type, which will result in a super colourful display.

    Newer Design

    Apple may make the phone thicker - at reportedly 7 mm. It could also raise camera pixel count to 12- or 13-megapixel.

    Tougher Phones

    The iPhone 6 could get a super-tough sapphire screen. Sapphire's advantage over glass is its durability and hardiness.

    Longer Battery Life

    A new patented power management system picks up the user's habits and aligns the device's performance accordingly.

    Release Date

    Typically, Apple releases a new iPhone every September. This time, Apple may break the cycle. So it could be out anywhere between May and July.
