While we originally expected the iPhone 6 to hit shelves this fall, Apple addicts may be able to get their hands on the highly-anticipated handset even sooner. According to Apple analyst Peter Misek, a late summer release is likely for the company’s latest flagship smartphone.
A late summer iPhone 6 launch would be a slight bump from the phone’s expected fall 2014 release, though it would also come later than a rumored June launch that would coincide with WWDC 2014. According to Misek, display yields will likely keep the device from hitting stores early in the summer.

The analyst also believes that Apple is working on a new motion co-processor to complement the iPhone ‘s M7 chip, which could be delaying a possible early summer reveal.
As far as the iPhone 6's specs, the rumor mill continues to churn rapidly. The smartphone giant is once again expected to release two models of its new flagship. A recent rumor suggests that a 4.5-inch screen is possible within the iPhone 5s body, while Reuters previously reported that Apple is toying with even bigger 4.7 and 5.7-inch screens.
The iPhone 6 may pack an extra-strong sapphire crystal display and could make the jump to 1600 x 900 or 1920 x 1080 pixels, depending on the screen size. The device’s 8-MP camera isn’t expected to change, though the phone may gain some new camera features in the vein of the Nokia Lumia 1020 and LG G2.

TrueType font JI Marshmallow Roast makes my mouth water. Designer Jeri Ingalls has cleverly and artfully integrated sans serif glyphs into marshmallows on a stick. Since the sweet treat widely spaces your text, this font isn't for long sentences. In addition, although Marshmallow Roast is designed as a display face, at smaller than 48-point the marshmallows can interfere with the text, making it hard to read. At poster size, however, Marshmallow Roast cooks up a gooey confection that's hard to resist.
Once you're done with your s'mores, crack open Buzz Saw, a font from Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute and designer Brian Bonislawsky. Available in both TrueType and PostScript versions (don't install both, or the font won't work), Buzz Saw has the right amount of spookiness to pique the interest of veteran ghost-story tellers, yet it retains just enough childlike naïveté to keep younger camp members comfy.
Whether you need to make a cannonball splash or ride off into the sunset as the camp hero, Janda Fabulous could be just what you're looking for. A TrueType font (with OpenType layout) from designer Kimberly Geswein, this one is just, well, fabulous. Geswein has designed every glyph meticulously, adding intricate detail: Flowers, butterflies, and a cute little ladybug hide within this typeface, which comprises hand-drawn dots, swirls, and confidently shaded lines.
Get out of a jam with TrueType Que Fontita from Chilean designer Felipe Millon. This ultracool comic book typeface, complete with some unusual onomatopoeic exclamations—boom, plop, blam, chud, fwap—will awe your most jaded of summer-camp participants. Two separate alphabets are included; both are in all-capitals, but one omits the decorative onomatopoeia.
If you need a look that's not entirely grown-up but not juvenile either, try TrueType font Pijamas from designer Billy Argel. Pijamas reminds me of the way I used to make 3D letters, before the idea of fixed-point perspective took hold. The glyphs seem to rotate, which strangely works in a cute, tweenish way. Pijamas includes both uppercase and lowercase letters, plus common punctuation such as a comma, a period, exclamation and question marks, an @ sign and hash, and an ampersand. Designed as a display font, Pijamas looks a little silly at smaller than 24-point; at much larger sizes, though, it's relaxed and easygoing, with a hint of wild child thrown in. Pijamas is free for personal use; for commercial use, contact Argel.
