As Apple gears up for bigger screen iPhone 6, experts say shares could rise by 20%

Apple iPhone 6, expected in late summer or fall, is certain to have a bigger screen than earlier versions

Apple Inc. shares could rise by 20 per cent over the next year, fuelled by sales of a new version of its iPhone smartphone (iPhone 6) that is expected to have a bigger screen, according to an article in the March 24 edition of Barron’s.

The iPhone 6, expected in late summer or fall, is certain to have a bigger screen than earlier versions, which could give iPhone users a major reason to upgrade or win back people who switched to other devices, according to the article.

The article notes that Apple shares currently trade at a deep discount to the market.

Why should you wait for new iPhone?

If you?re an avid Apple fan, or just someone looking for a new phone, you might find the reasons to wait for the next iPhone quite interesting. Though there is no official announcement about the release date or the new design, but our leading tech experts across the country predict some cool new features that will come with the new model. I summarized key factors that might convince you to wait just a little longer until you switch up that old phone of yours.

Knocking the door

The fact that it?s already fall is one of many good reasons to wait for the next iPhone. If you?re looking to buy a new phone but don?t know which one to choose, you might as well wait another couple of months. When the new iPhone is out, you?ll have more options to choose from. If you?re like me and have waited for the iPhone specifically, I?m sure you?re as excited as I am – it?s coming very soon! Although there is no official release date, September and October have been proven to be that time of the year when the next generation of iPhones is launched. So be patient, and wait just another few months!

Price cut

When a new generation of phones is released, it?s standard for the older models to drop in price. So even if you are not waiting to buy the new iPhone, why purchase a 5s, or 5c model now? You might be able to get it for a smaller price tag in a couple of months? time.

Bugs fix-ed

iOS7 is already out with the launch of iPhone 5c, 5s, so this one?s a no-brainer. With the new software comes easier multitasking, better organization, a smarter Siri, and a cool new software design. The graphics are completely different from anything we?ve seen in the past, so if you?re sick of the old layout, you might be impressed with this one. Moreover, the bugs in the earlier versions, might be almost fixed if not completely, so you don’t need to wait for the updates.

All new look

Although I don’t endorse the fact that the new apple iPhone will have larger display as in Samsung Galaxy smartphones but the market trend shows change is inevitable. Still I believe that there could be a bit of modification in design and of course colours but all-new iPhone is a dream. So have patience and wait for the surprise.

Battery upgrade

If you are already an iPhone user, you understand the struggle of having to conserve your battery life throughout the day. You use it for internet, camera, social media, and various apps so it is no surprise that your battery can die out in a matter of hours. Fortunately, Apple is completely aware of this problem as such expect a remedy.

With the new iPhone 6 (as experts call it) on the way, Apple is getting attention once again. With such high expectations on the rise, some disappointment might be unavoidable, but hopefully, this list will hold true even after the phone?s release. Perhaps Apple will surprise us with a different, even better feature that no one was able to predict as usual. Are you planning to wait for the new iPhone too? What?s a cool feature that you?d like to see in the new model? Do tell us. (With inputs from Reuters)
