Claimed 'iPhone 6s' Box Appears Similar to 'iPhone 6s Plus' Packaging

[MacRumors]

A new image of the packaging for the "iPhone 6s" has turned up online (via MacX), appearing similar to images of a box for the "iPhone 6s Plus" that were shared in late August. Both boxes showcase a koi pond-like fish against a white surface, suggesting the rumored packaging could be what Apple will use to box the next-generation iPhones, which are expected to be the centerpiece of the company's September 9 event tomorrow.

The fish image has also begun rumors surrounding the "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus," suggesting the new smartphones will include a motion wallpaper feature. Similar in spirit to the dynamic wallpapers Apple introduced in iOS 7, the supposed update would bring something more akin to the in-depth motion backgrounds of the Apple Watch and will feature images from fish in a koi pond to different color smoke clouds.

Seems legit.

Why is it so torn up though?

Why is it so torn up though?

It probably is hard to sneak these things out

That white backdrop behind the picture leads me to believe that the screen will not be OLED. that kinda sucks. Hopefully I'm wrong

It just sucks that they'll likely be keeping the 16gb version. The new motion wallpapers will be nice but I have a feeling a lot of people won't feel much incentive to upgrade, especially if you already have a 6.

Presumably it got damaged during assembly, and so was discarded in a bin.. and the contents of that bin found their way to someone with a camera...

I'm sure the black will look brilliant with the OLED. Just like the Apple Watch

Are you suggesting that motion wallpapers will be the only new feature of the phone?

I really hope this new dynamic lock screen openers aren't iPhone 6s / 6s Plus exclusive. This would make me really angry!

So that's Flower the fish's friend?

 

[ipodlover77]

It will absolutely lean me if apple uses "motion wallpaper" as one of their tent pole features.

CAUSE I LOVE MOTION WALLPAPERS.

 

[NightFox]

By what stretch of the imagination is that a koi? It's a flower surely?

 

[joecool99]

WOW, that is shocking!

No thats not a flower, this is the back of the fish!

I'm really hoping Apple opens motion wallpapers up to developers; my Jony-Ive-swaying-in-light-breeze wallpaper needs to be a reality.

Definitely won't be OLED. There was never hope of this. This has been known since iOS9 beta was released back in June.
It did not introduce a UI shift. Settings, Phone app, Messages app, icons... It's all color space.

Are you suggesting that motion wallpapers will be the only new feature of the phone?

Yes, I'd be surprised if they made it to the iPhone 6 and below.

who know's where that has been stuffed!!!

Besides us on this site - Why would regular people be upgrading their phones every year?

These upgrades are time so that someone coming from 4s/5/5s cycles would be static to upgrade

Based on this chart there are over 200 million eligible to upgrade.

Would it work with having a motion wallpaper and the fingerprint sensor with the almost instant unlock? I think it would, if the rumors about the 3D force touch are true as well. Then you could tap the screen for the wallpaper (or even further information) to appear without unlocking

The rigid boxes are wrapped in printed paper. (Kind of large labels)

This has either been ripped/stripped off a box or was a reject from production like somebody posted already.

OLED or not, a dark mode for iOS would be nice. I can hope that it simply hasn't appeared in iOS 9, yet.

 

[BruceEBonus]

The box is the same as the last one. The phone's practically the same as the last one. So why would the box look any different? Great story though!

 

[MrGimper]

Like I said on another thread.... if the display is OLED then surely it would have been discovered/mentioned with the numerous screen assembly leaks that have appeared
