Many people expect that the iPhone 6 will be released shortly after its debut on Sept. 9. The next-gen Apple flagship device is also expected to offer new features and functions including two variants, a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch build.

Reports suggest that the iPhone 6 will have an ultra slim profile and larger screen but other than a different form factor, the predicted upgrades are not really new. How about Android capabilities packed in the iPhone 6? Will it make it more exciting?

While Apple has the Passbook technology that facilitates mobile payment, near-field communication (NFC) offers more than that because of its ability to share content between two devices with simple handshake and taps, among others. NFC powers Smasung's S Beam that was introduced in 2012 with the Galaxy S3. According to Weibo, the iPhone 6 will have a storage chip which is not the A8 but instead, associated with an NFC chip from NXP Corp.

Under the hood, Apple is said to have 64-bit A8 processors with larger RAM and storage capabilities. With more power consumption, Apple may also include a higher battery rating to stretch the device's usage hours and wireless charging that makes recharging a lot more convenient.

However, recharging frequently may be unnecessary if only Apple would design the iPhone 6 with a removable back cover like Android phones. This way, users may just slide in a new battery once the battery the device is using dies out. No need for heavy power banks as well.

The iPhone touch keyboard is great but it can still be improved. Apple may want to acquire Swype or other similar apps before the unveiling of the iPhone 6 because this would allow for key swiping instead of key tapping, making messaging extremely faster. Android users have enjoyed this feature from way back.

The iPhone 5S features a 64 GB internal storage but Apple may still want to exceed this maximum storage space. The company may offer a 128 GB iPhone 6, a possibility since a 128 GB iPad 4 has been rumored and it may also be done with the next-gen iPhone. Apple may also use an Android feature like a memory expansion slot.
