iPhone 6 Rumors Say Device Will Provide Users With Specified Vibrations Based on Activity

By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Thursday, July 10, 2014

The upcoming iPhone 6 models will feature a special haptic feedback function that creates unique vibrations with device while various tasks are performed.

A Chinese mobile phone source known as Laoyaoba says that Apple will ship the new smartphone with a tactile feedback linear motor that allows the user to feel subtle vibrations depending on different app scenarios or with touching different areas on the screen. This new haptic feedback motor will cost twice or three times as much as the vibration motor found on the iPhone 5s.

Apple filed a patent in 2009 which discussed the idea of allowing users to "feel out" the different elements on a web page with haptic feedback. It seems that these older ideas are finally coming to fruition.

The iPhone 6 will come in gold, space grey and silver when it is released later this year.

Photos that were leaked earlier this week via Letemsvetemapplem.eu showed flex cables and three SIM card trays that come in those three color options. All of these components are allegedly made for the iPhone 6.

The three trays basically show that the iPhone 6 will keep the same color options as the iPhone 5s. This is no big surprise as the larger size of the next-gen model is expected to be its main selling point.

The flex cables in these pictures are slightly different in layout as the one for volume contains both the mute button and the volume buttons with a larger separation between the two. The power flex cable shows the same arrangement of connectors with a potentially larger-sized power button. This further confirms the redesigned button layout rumors that have been popping up recently.
