<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21px;">Blogger TK Tech News has gotten a hold of a snapshot of what the upcoming iPhone models might cost. The photo comes all the way from Hong Kong, so, assuming it is accurate, the final pricing may be slightly different, due to currency conversions, taxes, and whatnot.</span></div>

The photo shows two columns of prices – one for the 4.7" model and one for the 5.5" model. Both <span style="background-color: transparent;">iPhone 6</span>variants will have 3 different internal storage tiers – 16, 32, and 64 GB – same as before. It seems that an earlier rumor that <span style="background-color: transparent;">Apple may add a 128 GB device to the roster</span> is yet to be confirmed, if at all.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Looking at the HK Apple store page and converting the iPhone 5S price tags to USD, we can see that the current smartphone goes for around between $70 and $80 more in Hong Kong, depending on the tier.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Of course, we are talking retail prices here – without contract. From these numbers, we can see that the 5.5" iPhone 6 will be quite the premium device, the 16 GB model starting at ~$50 above an 11" MacBook Air, and the top-tier 64 GB one costing ~$150 shy of a bottom-of-the-line 13” Retina MacBook Pro. Or, to put things in perspective, a 4G-capable iPad Air with 128 GB of storage currently costs $929.</span></div>

And now, one of Siri's creators is working on a more advanced form of AI that goes far beyond the current iPhone option. Viv Labs says its personal assistant will possess a limitless tool set because the software can teach itself. This means that in addition to the regular ol' search, the artificial intelligence will also be able to perform tasks like booking reservations based on openings in your schedule and more. "Siri is chapter one of a much longer, bigger story," Dag Kittlaus, Viv's co-founder who also worked on Apple's assistant, tells </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 25.600000381469727px;"><a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/08/viv/" style="color: #3399cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Wired</a>. </em><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 25.600000381469727px;">Bypassing the need for coders (and constraints), Viv generates its own program to answer queries and complete tasks in seconds. Once the system is "trained" to understand the vocabulary of a subject, the company aims to sort through loads of data to not only lend a hand, but anticipate what we'll need next.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">That Apple would hold its next iPhone event in the September/October 
timeframe is hardly a surprise (this would mark the fourth straight 
year). But a new report claims that Apple has already marked its 
calendar for an early September unveiling.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">According to a report from <a href="http://recode.net/2014/08/05/codered-apple-to-hold-iphone-event-on-sept-9/" target="_blank">Re/code</a>,
 Apple has set an event date for Tuesday, September 9. The outlet 
reports that the theme will indeed be new iPhones, which should mean the
 company's official unveiling of the iPhone 6. It's worth noting that 
Apple hasn't yet sent out invitations for the event (that usually 
happens much closer to the event date) and this is all based on 
Re/Code's sources.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Though nothing is confirmed, months worth of rumors have <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2014/03/27/iphone-6-coming-as-early-as-september-likely-in-4-7-5-5-inch-varieties-says-nikkei/" target="_blank">pointed to</a> Apple launching two new iPhones, both with larger screens (likely a 4.7-in one and a 5.5-in phablet). Earlier reports <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2014/07/24/spurious-claim-apple-will-release-4-7-and-5-5-inch-iphones-separately-to-avoid-competition/" target="_blank">said</a>
 that the larger iPhone could possibly ship later than the smaller one 
(perhaps even slipping into early 2015), but that scuttlebutt hasn't 
been quite as consistent.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As with every previous iPhone release, the new device(s) will likely 
sport a faster processor (A8 is next in line) along with camera 
improvements, and will run the next version of iOS. The Touch ID fingerprint sensor, featured in last year's iPhone 5s, will also presumably pop up in every high-end iOS device from now on.</span></span></div>

Apple’s 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Set To Feature Higher-End Specs‏

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Almost all reports claim Apple will launch two iPhone 6 models
 in 2014, one 4.7-inch and another 5.5-inch. This wouldn’t be the first 
time Apple looks to add a second size to the range; the MacBook, iMac, 
iPad, and iPod lines all offer variable sizes, the iPhone stands alone.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The report also fits with the growing concern from Apple about 
Samsung and the growth of their two high-end lines, the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note.
 The 4.7-inch model looks to go after the Galaxy S, HTC One and other 
flagships, while the 5.5-inch model competes with the Galaxy Note, 
Xperia Z Ultra and HTC One Max.<img alt="iPhone 6 mock up" class="lazy alignnone size-full wp-image-17834 data-lazy-ready" data-lazy-src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/iPhone-6-mockups.png" data-lazy-type="image" height="364" src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/iPhone-6-mockups.png" style="display: inline;" width="708" /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The new report from <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/04/analyst-apple-could-equip-55-iphone-6-with-more-powerful-processor-than-47-model" target="_blank">Apple Insider</a>,
 citing Cowen & Co. analyst Timothy Arcuri, claims supply chain 
sources have started preparing different application processors for the 
5.5-inch iPhone. Apple will add a larger and more powerful A8 chip to 
the 5.5-inch iPhone 6, in order to cull buyers into paying more.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The two application processors will be named the A8, but will be 
separated in their development. Apple might look to simply up the specs 
on the higher-end A8 chip, offering faster speeds and lowering power 
usage, to make the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 offer more impressive stats.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Manufacturing will be done partly by Apple’s rival Samsung and partly
 by TSMC, a Taiwanese semiconductor company. This report does have a bit
 of conflict, with other reports saying TSMC won the full rights to 
production, following Apple’s move away from Samsung.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Foxconn will also be involved in the main manufacturing of the iPhone
 6, alongside Pegatron, another Chinese manufacturer. Apple will get the sapphire glass for the front of the iPhone 6 in the United States, from local factories in Texas.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Apple is projecting around 80 million sales of the iPhone 6 before 
the end of 2014. This appears to be for both versions, although the 
5.5-inch iPhone 6 might be available later in the year or perhaps at the
 start of 2015.</span></span><br />

 4.7 inches. Now, two other videos showed up, this time allowing us to 
see that the alleged 4.7-inch iPhone 6 front panel is very durable, 
being made with sapphire crystal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />Previously, we heard that Apple would use sapphire crystal only for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6, but it looks like this isn’t true, and the 4.7-inch model will get the same treatment. <br /><br />As
 you’ll see below, the first video comes from MKBHD, and reportedly 
shows an iPhone 6 front panel that's been taken from Apple’s assembly 
line (so it’s not a dummy unit). The panel was tortured with a knife and
 some keys, and no scratches were found after that. The panel has also 
been bent, and it looks like it’s really flexible. The second video was 
posted by well-known Apple insider Sonny Dickson - who, in fact, seems 
to have provided the panel seen in MKBHD’s video, too.<br /> <br />Apple 
will probably announce the new iPhone 6 in September. What do you think,
 can this ultra-durable, flexible sapphire crystal front panel be one of
 its key selling points?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5R0_FJ4r73s?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
