While the iPhone 5S is only expected to be a small update, Yeung suggests that next generation’s iPhone 6 will be out next year, and feature a larger screen. He’s also suggested that a new MacBook Air, featuring Apple’s celebrated ‘Retina’ high-resolution screen tech, will be out soon.
Yeung’s note released Sunday also said that Apple plans to roll out a version of its lightweight MacBook Air notebook computer with a Retina display.
The jury is still out on both the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 6, but the market has evolved quite a bit over since the iPhone 5 launched. Google Play downloads are up 4 times from a year ago and about even with the App Store. It’s clear the iPhone 6 is where Apple’s agenda lies right now, so whatever the iPhone 5S does that its predecessor couldn’t had better be pretty impressive. If it isn’t, it could be in a position to lose its number one spot in the smartphone market within the year.
