iOS for iPhone 6
You might know that Apple always uses its own operating system, which is iOS. It keeps updating iOS in its new and upcoming products. The latest version till now is iOS 5 operating system, which is used in iPhone 4S and iOS 4.0 is used in iPhone 4G which might get more upgraded. This year, even Apple iPhone 5 might be running on iOS 6.
So, there are chances that iPhone 6 would run on iOS7. You can consider the operating system of Android as an example. It keeps getting upgraded every three to five months and is used by the smartphones produced by Motorola and Samsung. Therefore, Apple might get more improved in terms of operating system for competing with other companies.
12MP Camera
Till now, Samsung has introduced smartphones with 12MP camera, using better technology as compared to Apple. Even, Motorola smartphones have better technology than Apple. So, the upcoming iPhone 6 may contain 12MP camera for the camera technology to be improved. The latest Apple iPhone 4S has camera technology of 8 Megapixel.
Other brand smartphones like Motorola Droid Razr and Samsung Galaxy S3 have much better camera technology and resolution than Apple iPhone 4S. iPhone 4S has a camera resolution of 960×640 pixel and the pixel density of 326 pixels per inch.

As we know that, the products from Apple contain processors produced from Apple Company only. The 800MHz A4 Processor was used in Apple iPhone 4 and A5 Processor in iPhone 4S. Similarly, the rumors are that upcoming iPhone 6 will contain A6 Processor. But, other companies such as Motorola and Samsung are using ARM processor. If you compare, you can see that Samsung Galaxy S3 has used dual core A9 cortex processor and Motorola is going to release another smartphone Moto Droid Razr HD, which will be powered by A9 Quad Core Processor of 1.5GHz.
Apple will be able to compete with these companies by using Apple A7 Processor in upcoming Apple iPhone 6.
