'iPhone 6s' Again Rumored to Feature 12MP Camera With 4K Video Recording

[MacRumors]

A sketchy and unconfirmed internal document posted by an alleged Foxconn employee on Chinese microblogging website Weibo (via PhoneArena) corroborates rumors that the next-generation iPhone could feature a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with 4K video recording and 240 FPS slow-motion capabilities.

Weibo user KJuma has since removed the pair of leaked documents he shared on the Twitter-like service, but not before the images began making their rounds on the web. The documents also corroborate multiple rumors claiming the so-called iPhone 6s ("N66") and iPhone 6s Plus ("N71") will have 2GB of RAM.

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a respectable track record at reporting on Apple's upcoming product plans, issued a note to investors in May with eleven predictions for the next iPhone, and a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera sensor and A9 processor with 2GB of RAM were among the new features he listed.

4K vide

I'm all for it. Those videos would look great on my 5K iMac.

Probably now an "ex-Foxconn employee".

Not a smart move.

I hope the 4K toggle is in the camera app itself and not buried in settings like the 60 FPS toggle. 4K recording would be nice to have but it is just going to eat up device and iCloud storage.

4K video recording and no expandable storage? 16GB would be full up in about 5 mins.

Apple should really start the iPhone 6S at 32GB.

That will probably happen before too long.

 

[NachoGrande]

Wait I thought Mega Pixels don't matter.. :\

 

[captain cadet]

What gets me with 4K camera's is that most screens cannot show 4K as there is too many pixels - if its for zoom, would it be better to improve the zoom features on the camera itself also?

That's why the base model will finally be 32gb's

 

[maplingstorie]

Don't care. I need the 2GB RAM

 

[Broph]

2GB RAM. I have a 6, but the 6S is sounding like a massive upgrade (already) from that. Might have to change that two-year cycle I've been doing.

So from the Chinese text, there's a new pink colour but not quite rose gold. Did I read that right? Something about taking pictures while also recording movies?

But the most impressive thing is the accuracy (just a touch from a finger tip) and even faster Touch ID performance, up to 30% faster than the 6, which is about the same as the Galaxy S6 (where the Samsung is not as consistently accurate).

 

[Sasparilla]

Wow, 4k recording. Sounds like a great option - but Apple, please make 1080p recording an easily set (not buried) option...I don't want my storage eaten away by 4k home movies. As to the sensor pixel numbers, I'd rather have the large pixels for better low light performance (just as DSLR's do), than more pixels on the minute sensor, although maybe they needed more pixels to support 4k recording well.

 

[The Mercurian]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Hmm a predication of my own. If this thing will truly have 12Mega pixel, 4k video, there minimum avaialbe stroage model will have 32GB

 

[mattopotamus]

does 4K, in the current form, even support HDR, wider Color Gamut, etc.? If not, is there really a need for it?

 

[ipadpro]

this a lie - apple not bring 4K that fast - maybe 2020

i dont believe this happend

Gotta justify those 4K iMacs somehow

he tried jumping out but the nets bounced him back in. This was his last hope of escape

(nets bouncing back obvious bill burr reference)

About time! Of course there are the stubborn folks who want apple to stick to 8 mp forever because they think megapixels don't matter.

But iPhone 6s base storage should start at 32gb with 2gb ram if this is true. More megapixels means larger photo size. Unless they add an option like on galaxy phones where you can downgrade the photo quality so it takes up less space.

 

[Lord Hamsa]

2GB RAM. I have a 6, but the 6S is sounding like a massive upgrade (already) from that. Might have to change that two-year cycle I've been doing.

I got started with iPhones on the tail end of a 2-year cycle but never really tried to jigger the timeline to get back "in sync". Most of the time, the "S" updates provide the majority of internal improvements the next generation will have but in a form factor that's well established, making getting accessories easy (and fairly cheap). Every once in a while i"ll miss out on a new major feature (e.g., Apple Pay not available on the 5S without the Watch), but on a 2-year cycle, it's not too long before I'll get it anyway.

last hope -please bring iphone 6s black or slate back color

grey- silver look suck

 

[grkm3]

I love reading all the love for 4k and 12mp when the competition has been doing it for years and now all of a sudden its a new holy coming when apple finally does it.

I also read the 6s is getting the same modem the gs5 had lol all the hate when competition had it and nothing but love when apple finally catches up.

yeah that slate was really sexy. But apple needs to figure how to coat the black aluminum better. My iPhone 5 had a ton of scratches and I only owned it for two weeks.

 

[ipadpro]

apple never copy 4k way to other technology
they might call something else not 4k name

They were always saying samsung and other phone makers were adding useless features and that there was no need for such high quality photos and videos. But like you said once apple does it it's like the best thing since sliced bread. Sometimes I feel like folks on this forum have short term memory problems.
