A leak from Engadget Japan showed a Blueprint for the next iPhone which measures its thickness at 7.1mm. Although, it is important to note that it is highly likely that Apple may scrap the idea altogether, and we may never see the technology in real life application, but it is fascinating to see possibilities in innovating everyday devices.
RBC Capital Markets is more conservative with its estimates, expecting that Apple will report $49.3 billion revenue, with a gross margin of 39.3% and $1.78 EPS, based on sales of 46.5 million iPhones, 11.3 million iPads and 4.6 million Macs.

Apple Watch and Apple MusicThe coming earnings release will be the first time investors will have a chance to look at sales numbers from recent launches such as Apple Watch and Apple Music. However, don’t be surprised if this feature is only availed on the iPhone S6 Plus. Retail chief Angela Ahrendts told staff in a memo seen by the Telegraph that not every new Apple product would be launched in this manner. There will also be support for a flash. For instance, in September 2012 we got an all-new iPhone 5, followed by the updated iPhone 5s and 5c in September 2013.
