New York, May 28 : If we believe a German phone firm Deutsche Telekom, your date with Apple's iPhone 6 is Sep 19 this year.

“The date is consistent with Apple's recent launches, making it likely an educated guess,” a report on apfelpage. de website claimed.

Apple generally launches its new iPhone models Fridays, and Sep 19 does fall on a Friday this year.

Apple made the iPhone 5 available Sep 21, 2012.

The new handset is believed to have a larger 4.7 inch screen, with a second version boasting a 5.5inch screen.

Increasing the iPhone's screen size from 4 inches would help Apple regain market share from competitors such as Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, according to industry watchers.

If Apple follows its usual release schedule, the new models will be unveiled in September this year, although experts are expecting the tech giant to launch at least one model in June, media reports said. (IANS)
