iPhone 6s Design
Now this is pretty awesome. Mark Gurman at 9to5Mac has published a report containing leaked pictures provided by a "proven source familiar with Apple's supply chain," showing the metal bodywork of the iPhone 6s. Gurman also promises follow-up posts with images of other components.
So, what do Gurman’s images reveal? Well, the iPhone 6s will look largely the same externally as the iPhone 6 does today. Gurman writes: “Our images show no noticeable external changes coming from the iPhone 6 — even the Space Gray color has remained light, contrasting with the darker Space Gray Apple Watch — but it is possible that Apple’s final hardware could include additional tweaks.”
He goes on to note that “Our source says that any potential difference in thickness or width on the 4.7-inch iPhone 6-sized device is too minimal to notice, but this does not (yet) rule out rumored changes to the larger, 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus body.”
BGR followed this report up with a similar theory about the thickness of Apple's next iPhone.
“Apple’s next-generation iPhone 6s will be thicker than the current flagship iPhone model,” reports BGR. This would mark the first time an “S” version of an iPhone is thicker than its predecessor, but the reasoning behind the move makes sense: Apple’s next-generation iPhones are rumored to include new taptic engines and Force Touch displays, so the added thickness will make room for these new components.”
Still, the iPhone 6s will boast noticeable improvements in other important areas, as noted by CNET. “The handset, which is rumoured to be called the iPhone 6S, will launch with a Qualcomm-developed chip known as the MDM9635M. The chip, which was introduced by Qualcomm in 2013 but didn't go into production until last year, is capable of accommodating theoretical download speeds of 300Mbps on carrier long-term evolution (LTE) networks -- double the 150Mbps speeds available to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.”
In addition to this, many believe the inclusion of Qualcomm’s chip inside the next iPhone would have a very positive affect on battery life, as it is significantly more power efficient. Just how much additional battery life it will create, however, is unknown. Nevertheless, Apple is very good at doing A LOT with a little, so this year’s iPhones could see yet another 15-20% battery performance added. And judging by how good the iPhone 6 Plus currently is, well, that’d be just spectacular.
“Along with a slight shrinkage in size of the iPhone 6S’s logic board, Apple also appears to be aggressively reducing the number of chips it’s using. One section of the board that previously had in excess of 10 components has been pared down to 3 main chips, simultaneously cutting the number of parts and increasing the power efficiency of the ones that remain. Other necessary and remaining chips, such as the flash memory and CPU, notably benefit from smaller manufacturing processes that enable the iPhone 6S to offer the same or faster functionality with smaller, less power-hungry parts,” reports Apple Insider.
It seems the iPhone 6s bodyshell is pretty much exactly the same on the outside as the current iPhone 6 - including the attena lines - meaning we are looking at a continuation of Apple's previous habit with "S" updates being somewhat incremental of the existing model.
There are, however, some subtle changes on the inside hinting at the expected hardware component changes. One key point is that, contrary to earlier rumours, there isn't anything implemented inside the case that would appear to support a dual-lens camera setup. Apple's arrangement for the speakers and ports is also identical to the iPhone 6.
Naturally we'll be keeping an eye out for more reports from Gurman and his source, so stay tuned
As of July 23, a new set of images has leaked via nowhereelse.fr, showing the next iPhone's front panel and display surround, apparently inside the factory, coming off the production line en mass.
The iPhone 6s will look quite a bit like the iPhone 6. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, really. Apple has, for the longest time, liked to do incremental updates to its iPhones and while many hoped 2015/16 would be different it is now beginning to look increasingly likely that we’ll have to wait until 2016/17 for the next big design refresh to Apple’s iPhone lineup with the launch of the iPhone 7.
As the launch date of the iPhone 6s approaches, we’re starting to see more and more leaks.
Australian website Maxfixit has managed to get hold of some pictures of the iPhone 6s front panel and display, reportedly these components come via sources in Apple's supply chain network. The site states that there is a sensor under the display panel bottom bezel which may be the rumoured Force Touch sensor to allow pressure-based controls.
A batch of images appeared from inside one of Appel's manufacturing plants, likely Foxconn, the images show the front panel of the upcoming iPhone 6s, complete with home button and a very similar overall design and shape to last year’s models, as you can see below:
“This includes the display size (4.7-inches), native resolution (1334 x 750 pixels) and Touch ID-equipped home button, though a more rigid aluminium alloyshould kill off any new bendgate talk,”reports Forbes. “Some wild speculation had claimed Apple will move to Touch ID to the back of the iPhone or even inside the screen to reduce bezel size. This sounds great in theory, but these pictures stamp on that and I’d say it’s highly unlikely we see anything similar before the iPhone 7 – at the earliest.”
The fact that these components are coming out of the factory in large quantities also lines up with the proposed September launch date for the next model.
With just over a month to go until the iPhone 6s gets official, more images of the handset have been leaked direct from the production line. Again, these pictures don’t show off much about the handset. Nevertheless, they do confirm a couple of things about the handset: 1) it’ll look just like the iPhone 6, 2) there will be a home button, and 3) production of the handset is now very much underway.
“Apple's suppliers are ramping up production of the Force Touch displays that will go inside the next batch of iPhones,” reports Tech Radar. “Considering the pressure-sensitive technology has already appeared in the Apple Watch and the new MacBook, it would be a surprise if Apple didn't add it to the iPhone - if you get Force Touch in the iPhone 2015 features office sweepstake we reckon you could be quids in.”
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
