'iPhone 6s' Front Panel Depicted in New Photos, Said to Be in Production

On a side note, can't Foxconn afford nail clippers for its workers?

Maybe overgrown finger nails are a requirement to handle smaller parts.

I'd love force touch, but I don't think we're going to get it...

Every single rumour has pointed to it so far, it's pretty much a given.

I guess this means we won't be seeing the front-facing flash that was found in iOS 9 files. I wonder why that code exists?

Screen flash?

Worst quality screen glass yet. Scratches easily.

I can't believe they aren't upgrading it.

The source doesn't know whether or not the glass has been upgraded, but somehow you do.

Where do you keep it? I've taken my iPhone 6 Plus with me everywhere, including to the beach and it was in a bag with all the beach items (sandy as they were). I have no scratch on the screen or the casing. I've also dropped it on my cement floor at work and it's fine.

Yeah what's the deal? I mean, if the immigrant Chinese population in my area is a reliable signifier - somewhere between 98-99% of Chinese women work in nail salons.

"nail salons"

While other Mac blogs inform about catastrophic experiences with Apple Music and an unbelievable simple OSX security threat, MacRumors headlines provides us with the news that the 6S front panels will look identical to the 6. Thank you for sharing this truly exiting news.

I don't think they'll be using sapphire for this panel.

Tim Cook has already siphoned off all their sapphire for the mirrors he needs for his discussions about Apple Watch sales figures. He is providing the smoke from forest fires in drought-stricken California.

Apple ain't daft. By adding nigh zero extra features to the 6S, they are getting around the danger of leaks from non official sources. Clever! ;-)

I think it's a close call.

Touch and go.

looks the same as the iPhone 6 to me..... in other news.....

I don't think they'll be using sapphire for this panel.

Didn't the factory in Arizona with Apple's sapphire furnaces burn down after a fire?

Hope so, that way all devices can include it.

 

[entropi]

can't wait! approx. 57 days left... (if it will be released a year from iPhone 6)

 

[travis64]

better have non reflective screen like iPad air 2 no excuses

 

[billy the fish]

If it ain't broke...

 

[zaneliu]

I'm kinda surprised apple didn't include the proximity sensor from the apple watch here. It wouldn't have been huge and would've removed the ugly black dot on the front of the white iPhone

 

[Gildarts]

I'm not buying a new iPhone until they make one with a sapphire display.

 

[BornAgainMac]

Will we really need a keynote for this new iPhone?

 

[Even Longer]

This is SO exciting! Now show us a black one! Plee-e-e-ase.

Them bezels though. I pray for the iPhone 7 they shrink those, it's getting embarrassing.

Something reassuringly quaint about those bezels, like an old worn armchair. I missed them when I went to a droid phone.

 

[Vanilla35]

So how do we know these are iPhone 6S front panels?

If they look the same... maybe they are the same.

That would actually make sense... make one front panel that will work on two generations of phones spanning multiple years.

Because media.

O.M.G this is so amazing!

You using your phone as a sanding block or something? I have had every iPhone from the 3G on, no case or screen cover and never had a scratch on my phone except for some micro scratches (far and few) that can only be seen when the screen is off and in bright light, tilted a specific way.

Apple could come out with a scratch proof screen and some jackass would still find a way to scratch it and complain. Just like they complain that when they drop their phones the screen cracks. Hmm, glass breaks when impacted - there's a new revelation!
