Even if they make the mistake of calling it a 6 it will really be a 5S. I doubt they will. They have many options but won't yet have decided what to do. Any rumours at this stage are just wild speculation and comment.

6 months ago, I left HTC for the Samsung Galaxy Siii, with a few moments of photography (the S3 is a great camera), I've regretted every moment.

I hear rumours that Apple may miss out their iPhone 5S altogether & and release the iPhone 6 instead... And I hear other rumours that 20th Sept is release date with iPhone 6 ready to go for Xmas market... If anyone out there knows, c'mon spill the beans..

The HTC One I have had one for nearly since March it has been a superb phone.

The more these phones do the less the battery life unfortunately and some apps update in the background using up battery life too. WhatsApp is a killer

Norman, the only downside as I see it is battery life; I only get 8 hours because it has 2 quo processes and is very quick.

The s4 comes with a lots of pre installed apps and the diary is one of the best I have seen

My boy has an iphone and has had a go of my s4 -he now wants a s4 guess it comes down to presonal choice.
I never liked being tied into buying music off itunes and other forced tie ins with apple products

They will eventually appear on android if successful on iOS. By then they a old news

Developers develop for iPhone first as they earn money off it. Therefore best apps are on iPhone first and new apps go there too. To say get a phone because it links well into social media is not to understand that the apps are what allow a phone to do that. The apps almost always appear first on iPhone because there is no money in app development for android (too many form factors, operating systems, etc...) and users expect them all for free.

Plus it links into all social media apps and newspapers so well. The dictation tool on it is pretty cool as well

Samsung galaxy s4 simply the best - even ask me if I am having a good day

I have a charger in the car but agreed high usage means low battery life and once you have one you use it because it is superb

Galaxy all the way - I'm a Samsung convert. Constantly amazed at just how powerful the thing is.. Plus, I like Google Android and the option of as much free software as I choose.
I wouldn't touch Apple or a Blackberry if they were gold plated and given away for free !! aka I'm biased
