The iPhone 6 rumors continue to pour in, giving tech observers and Apple smartphone fans a clearer picture on what to expect from the next iteration of the highly-anticipated gadget, despite the fact that the Cupertino, California-based company has not confirmed any of the leaks.

One more piece of the puzzle that is the iPhone 6, is the recent leak revealing that the device will come with a "reversible Lightning cable for the iPhone 6 that allows you to plug it into USB ports from either end or orientation, with no 'right' or 'wrong' side," according to Mashable. The site credited Aussie blogger Sonny Dickson, "who has a reliable track record for getting ahold of Apple parts ahead of product launches," for this new bit of information.

"It's not clear from Dickson's announcement on his Twitter feed where he learned of Apple's upcoming modification. It's also worth noting that while his track record is strong, he has gotten it wrong in the past. It's possible, therefore, that Apple won't launch a reversible USB cable this time around," CNET also observed.

Mashable also added that the blogger's image of the said connector is "in line" with Apple's reversible cable design for which the company has filed a patent for in January this year.

MacRumors had noted that the Steve Jobs-founded firm "isn't the only company with this technology."

"A California company by the name of UltraTek already holds a patent for the reversible connector and is selling cables through major online retailers," the site relayed. "UltraTek first filed a patent application for its 'User-Friendly USB Connector' technology in 2009 and was awarded the patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2010."

"In the patent, the company describes a cable with two sets of conductive contact pins that allow it to be inserted into a USB port in either orientation," the site added.

Meanwhile, Mashable said that Apple may feature a "next-generation USB connector (called the Type-C)," making it the "new industry standard."

"The Type-C is expected to be thinner and sleeker than the current USB 3.0 cables," the news source also said.

In another update, JP Morgan analyst Rod Hall speculated that Apple may not be able to equip the iPhone 6 with a sapphire screen in time for this year's release.

"At the end of the day we see two possibilities for the iPhone 6 -- either Apple produces a small number of high end devices with sapphire or they produce none," CNET quoted Hall as saying. "Although we have channel indications that some sapphire devices will be produced, we actually lean toward Apple selling no sapphire phones this year."

All will be known on September 9, which is Apple's scheduled media event.
