Just 12 months before IPhone 7 arrives. I bet Apple is already testing the prototype.

Thats why I am still on first gen. I'm always waiting for something better. The present technology doesn't interest me, I'm gonna future proof all the way into the grave.
Yup. In fact I think that if the rumours are true of Apple reducing the battery capacity in the 6s (from old 6 1810mAh to 1715mAh in the 6s - https://www.macrumors.com/2015/08/03/iphone-6s-6c-1715mah-battery/) the reason might well be because of the iPhone 7. Apple might have some serious battery challenges coming up in the 7 so it doesn't want to set the bar too high with the 6s in terms of being able to maintaining 6s battery life with the 7, or maybe being able to implement a plan of adding only an hour extra at each iteration.
The main thing that I can think of that might cause issues in the 7 might be dramatic reductions in size of bezels, maybe to the extent of removing the home button and bottom bezel entirely, which would mean a smaller overall physical size and hence less volume to accommodate the battery if Apple keeps its obsessive focus on making the device as thin as possible still.
A company of Apple's size and resources is always thinking at least one step ahead in terms of design cycle if not more.
I am pretty sure no matter what changes are made, Apple will always make sure we have a great performing phone with a battery life that will get the average person through the day with battery to spare.
I dare say, if you get an iPhone se 64 gb, you will love it more than future proofing yourself
