iPhone 6 release date has been the subject of many rumors on the Web and TechAdvisor has beein in the thick of Apple's new launches since the iPhone 1st generation in 2007:

So far, the Cupertino, California-based tech firm has not released phones outside the realm of June-October with the lates release of the iPhone 5c, 5s in September, last year iPhone 1st gen June, 2007iPhone 3G July, 2008iPhone 3GS June, 2009iPhone 4 June, 2010iPhone 4s October, 2011iPhone 5 September, 2012, iPhone 5s/5c September, 2013

To extrapolate a similar release for iPhone 6, TechAdvisor thinks it will either be in June or September.

PCAdvisor updates that Chinese analyst Sun Chyand Xu reported on GSMArena that Applel, whcih likes to June and September as its favorite months for new launches, may relase the iPhone as early as June. The common denominator around the rumor is that Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is slated to take place in June 10-14.

Apple has a way of surprising its fans. Certainly former CEO Steve Jobs was exceptionally good at making new release appearance at MacWorld and other platforms. CEO Tim Cook's shared appearances with the Apple design team in September 2013 led to a 'collaborative presentation' of the two new releases in September last year.

So far, Apple has unveiled a half-step phone like the iPhone 5S. But the mid-year release remains a challenge since there are some heavyweights in the market ready to take on the iPhone 6 like the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note III, Sony Xperia Z1 and HTC One. Adding to that, the much hyped Samsung Galaxy S5 release date is imminent, which gives Apple head-to-head competition for its money.

Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said in a tech radar report that the June 2014 release for the iPhone 6 could be extended to September, when the iPhone 5S was unveiled.

According to techradar's projections, the iPhone 6 release date still stands for iPhone 6 because Apple likes to be different. With the WWDC a platform for software, this year might see a twist in the story as hardware iPhone 6 is released at the event. Late in 2014, a second model of the iPhone 6 is likely.
