The iPhone 6 was just released into the wild last week, and so far it's selling like crazy.
People are loving the bigger screen, the better camera specs, and the new larger sizes.
Leading up to the Apple event on Sept. 9, though, there was a ton of speculation and rumors bouncing around about what the iPhone 6 would possibly have. We pretty much knew the device would come in two sizes as far back as February. And we even had an inkling that the camera lens would protrude.
But then there are the rumors that didn't pan out. So let's raise a glass to those guys, and hopefully we'll see them in the next iteration of the phone, or at least the iPhone 7 a few years from now.
Sapphire glass
We thought we'd see GT Advanced Technology's ultra-durable sapphire glass on the iPhone 6 display, but Apple only put it on the camera. It's also going to be used in the upcoming Apple Watch.
Sapphire is more scratch resistant than Corning's Gorilla Glass, which has been used on previous iPhone models.
Upgrading the iPhone's display would make buying the pricey phones that much more bearable.
A reversible USB charger
When Apple replaced the 30-pin connector with the reversible Lightning cable, Macheads jumped for joy.
Introducing a reversible USB cable is a little thing that would improve the iPhone user experience, especially for people who find themselves glued to their phones.
Wireless charging
While we're on the topic of charging, wireless charging would be a major perk for the iPhone 7.
The technology already exists, Apple just needs to scale it for the masses.
