“Apple’s upcoming 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 smartphones won’t simply be copies of each other when it comes to hardware, a new report from highly informed KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via 9to5Mac and AppleInsider) indicates,” Chris Smith reports for BGR. “The iPhone 6 phablet will have certain differentiating features, supposedly including a better camera. The 5.5-inch model is expected to have a camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), while the smaller 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is said to be equipped with an improved camera that lacks OIS.”
Smith reports, “‘[We] predict it will use a middle-mount type of open-loop [voice coil motor (VCM)] updated from the one used in the existing iPhone 5S,’ wrote Kuo, who has been accurate in previous forecasts detailing unreleased Apple products. ‘The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is more likely to be equipped with OIS VCM due to lower estimated shipments and the need for more product features to differentiate itself from the 4.7-inch iPhone 6.'”
