'iPhone 6s' Display and Logic Board Shown Booting to Gear Screen

[MacRumors]

We've already seen a number of part leaks from the upcoming "iPhone 6s", and a source has now provided MacRumors with several photos and videos showing how those parts can be combined to build a partially functioning iPhone. Specifically, the new photos and videos reveal an iPhone 6s logic board and display assembly paired with a number of iPhone 6 components such as the rear shell and battery to create a device that starts up enough to be able to display a screen showing a gear icon.

The video shows the device booted to the gear screen and then opened, showing the various iPhone 6s and 6 components laid out and connected inside the rear shell. Several components such as the rear camera are missing, but there are enough parts present to deliver data to the iPhone 6s display.

One heavily rumored feature for the iPhone 6s is support for Force Touch, allowing the device to sense how hard the user is pressing on the display and activate differential controls depending on how much pressure is being applied. While the partially booting phone does not prove Force Touch support is present, there are some definite differences from the iPhone 6 such as the shielding on the rear of the display being glued in place rather than screwed in.

We should be getting more and better iPhone 6S stories and links as the time grows near. I'm ready for an update, it's been nearly 2 years.

Less than a month to go. Looking forward to the event. Hope they provide an English translator this time around.

i love these controlled leaks

 

[Alex Moran]

I hope it is OLED. As much of a hater that I am against Samsung. The S6 display is brilliant

 

[pat500000]

Was that a pun? If so....well played.

 

[Aussi3]

[luckydcxx]

i wish he could have confirmed the mAh for the battery. i was hoping for a larger battery with the increased thickness.

Speaking of the iPhone 6S and the September 9th event, shouldn't invites be rolling out this week given that it's 2 weeks before said event?

 

[LunarFalcon]

Is it just me, or does the chassis look black?

Update: Oh, it's only the light in the first pic. In the video it's clearly space gray.

 

[clukas]

Finally some quality leaks. Have my money set aside ready for my upgrade .

I think it's a safe bet Apple will be leaving LCD soon. OLED's earlier shortcomings are primarily worked out. As you said, the screens are pretty darn brilliant. I think the Apple watch was a baby step into the OLED world.

My personal feeling is the 7S will be the one. S for screen?

Will Apple change the color of Space Gray again? The iPhone 6 was too light for my taste. Not really gray but silver.

 

[Razeus]

128GB model here I come!

 

[Bbqthis]

Is that space grey darker, or am I going mad? tried to play with the photo to see the color more accurately, but they just don't show enough of the back panel to tell...

Apple is interested in quantum dot technology, though they are concerned with the environmental applications. It would help them to reach OLED like contrast levels.

Yes it was a pun

The invites usually go out a week before so we won't get them until next week.

I love the use of gloves - like some fine-rare painting...

 

[Glideslope]

Easily the largest mid-cycle upgrade/re-design in iPhone history. 6 owners should file a Class Action.

 

[gsmornot]

Whew! Good thing the serial numbers were blurred.
I might print the cardboard versions again and see how each fits my hand and pocket. I have a 6 plus now but still sounds like fun.

 

[nepalisherpa]

I can predict a major leak happening on/around September 9.
