It’s not surprising when new rumors about everything concerning Apple surface all over the internet. The company is famous for its secrecy and discretion, meaning everyone is free to speculate about everything when it comes to the company’s future releases. Whether we talk about the iPhone 6 or the new MacBooks, there’s always something we don’t know or something we only assume. Considering there are only two months until the expected iPhone 6, rumors and speculations have been appearing more often than before. So, here are some of the latest rumors about almost everything Apple is, or is not planning for this half of 2014.
One of the most disturbing rumors said Apple will definitely not launch the two versions of its iPhone 6 together, suggesting the company wouldn’t want a certain rivalry between the two models. The question here is, why shouldn’t Apple do so? There is practically no reason not lo launch them together, considering the first time Apple launched two smartphones, namely the 5S and the 5C, both devices met success and there was never the issue regarding which is best. Both devices brought Apple huge incomes, so why not repeat the history with the 4,7-inch and the 5,5-inch iPhone 6 smartphones?
One of the most believable rumor suggested a late October launch for the OS X Yosemite, along with the new MacBook, which is probable, mostly because only days ago Apple gave a beta Yosemite to one million users in order to get a better testing before the official release. Preceding this event with a official announcement could be the perfect way to introduce the new Macs, said to feature a 12-inch Retina display. The MacBook is also rumored to be one of the Pro line or even a brand new line of notebooks. Along with the Yosemite and a possible new line of notebooks, Apple is also expected to release a desktop and a mobile system separately, a new desktop computer that can turn out to be an iMac or a monitor, in every case, it will most definitely come with a 4K screen.
About the release date of the iPhone 6, the chances of not being released sometime in September are close to impossible. The latest rumors suggested a late September launch, so whether the launch will take place in the third or the forth week, it won’t come as a huge surprise. Nor will a mid-September launch, considering the debut of the iOS 8 is also planned around that time. The fact that the two will be launched together isn’t a fact, but having two different launches will be a waste of time, and a nerve wracking experience for some of us.

Some of the most unbelievable rumors suggested things like Apple working with Swatch for their next iWatch, but the rumor was strongly denied soon after by the Swatch Group. Another one referred to a Do Not Disturb Mode that could extend to during physical activities, meaning the app will be fully conscious when you’re asleep or don’t want to be interrupted and it will automatically switch when the device feels a high degree of movement due to its sensors. The app is said to do things like hold an email or other notification until you’re done running or working-out. As cool as this Do Not Disturb extension sounds, is’t unlikely Apple decides to go on with the idea. If Apple decides someday to do all the things rumors suggest, it will be hard for any other company to stand a chance against these incredible devices.
