June has been an eventful month. Early on we witnessed Apple reveal a new and improved version of their iOS mobile platform at the 2014 Worldwide Developer Coference (WWDC) in San Francisco. We learned more about the iPhone 6 and the iPad Air as rumors and leaks regarding the upcoming new devices appeared around the net. We also seen a colorful new update to Apple's iPod Touch.
The biggest news this month was Apple's reveal of their new iOS 8 platform at the WWDC 2014 event. iOS 8 will bring with it a number of cool new features, such as QuickType, Continuity, and Family Sharing, and updates to Notification Center, Messages, Safari, Siri, and more. Apple's iOS 8 is currently set for release sometime this fall.
There were several significant iPhone 6 leaks on social media this month. A number of photos of iPhone 6 mockups and dummies appeared on social media sites Weibo and Twitter. An iPhone 6 video comparison also appeared on Youtube. We learned that Apple is planning to release two version of the iPhone 6 with a thinner design and taller screens. We could see a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 release in mid September, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 phablet could release at the same time or perhaps later. It is rumored that the iPhone 6 will be available in 32 and 64 GB storage options and Apple may even offer the larger phablet model in a 128 GB size.
A mockup of the iPad Air also appeared on the web this month showing a few differences from the current model. It appears that Apple plans to add their Touch ID fingerprint security technology to the next generation iPad Air models and possibly also the iPad mini.
And last, but not least, Apple released an update to their 16 GB iPod Touch which now features a rear iSight camera and comes in several colors.
