Taiwans Industrial and Commercial Times (via G4Games) reported that the rumored Apples larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 may be delayed and will launch in 2015. The report noted that the company is stuggling with finding a battery that measure 2 mm to fit in the devices "very thin" profile, the batteries used in the current iPhones are 3 mm thick.
The report also pointed that the 5.5-inch model is internally referred to by Apple suppliers as iPhone Air, which has not been finalized as an official name for the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6. If the claims are true, the iPhone Air would join the convoy which includes Apples MacBook Air and recently released iPad Air, that provides a product with a slim chassis.
Besides to larger screen, next generation-iPhone is expected to sport an ultra-thin design with rounded edges. It may include A8 processor with 1GB RAM, Touch ID fingerprint sensor and an upgraded camera featuring optical image stabilization. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek reported that Apple is negotiating with carriers for a $100 price increase on the iPhone 6 as the device gets larger and the company packs more technology into it.
