iPhone 6s Packaging and Rose Gold iPhone Shown Off in New Photos

[MacRumors]

Ahead of the September 25 launch of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the new devices are beginning to show up in shipping warehouses as Apple prepares to deliver them to pre-order customers around the world. With more people having access to the devices before launch, there are bound to be a few image leaks, and today, some photos of both the outer packaging of the iPhone 6s and the rose gold iPhone have surfaced.

Spanish site iPhoneros [Google Translate] says its photos of the packaging came from a source in China. In one of the images, the packaging for all four iPhone 6s colors is depicted, each with a different siamese fighting fish, matching previous leaked packaging photos. The side of the box has the iPhone 6s name, and there's an Apple logo at the top.

The Rose Gold iPhone 6s box appears to have an orange fish, while the Silver iPhone 6s has a blue fish. The fish on the Gold iPhone 6s box is blue and gold, while the Space Gray iPhone 6s packaging has a red fish.

Chinese site Feng [Google Translate] has also shared a series of photos depicting both the packaging and the Rose Gold iPhone 6s. Of note on the Rose Gold iPhone is the small "S" on the back of the device, a marker that has not been seen on previous S generation phones. This was clearly depicted in press images of the device taken at the September 9 media event, but may have gone unnoticed by some.

With the S identifier at the back of the phone, it will be easier to distinguish one of the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus devices from the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.

The fish that are depicted on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus packaging will be available as motion-based wallpapers on the new devices, along with motion wallpapers depicting different colored smoke. The new dynamic wallpapers are exclusive to the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus and are unavailable on older devices.

Apple's iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will be available beginning on September 25, and some customers who pre-ordered have already begun having their cards charged and are seeing their order statuses shift from "Processing" to "Preparing for shipment." Earlier this week, order status changes were limited to customers outside of the U.S., but in the last day, even customers in the United States have begun seeing some movement.

That pink though

 

[bushido]

wow it really is Paris Hilton Pink

 

[KPOM]

The rose gold looks pretty sharp.

 

[ricktat]

Please put my phone back in the box!

 

[sniffies]

Too many white models. We need more diversity.

 

[scbn]

I don't like the color...no matter what Apple calls it.

 

[btrach144]

Rose gold iPhone should have been called pink. The apple watch rose gold is true. This is a lie.

 

[trekkie604]

Yikes, that color is ugly.

 

[tmaxxtigger]

And you wonder why there are sometimes fingerprints on your brand new phone, lol

 

[yaboyac29]

It's not rose gold, that's for sure.

 

[JayLenochiniMac]

Can you say pink again?

 

[slyk]

So just in case you couldn't tell from the PINK color, they put an S on the back. Got it.

 

[verniesgarden]

is no one else bothered by apple putting fish butts on the boxes?

 

[Blakjack]

Too many white models. We need more diversity.

Yea still don't understand why the silver one doesn't come in black as well. I'll never buy anything other than space gray, but I'm sure there are tons of people who would like to have the silver in black

Rose gold iPhone should have been called pink. The apple watch rose gold is true. This is a lie.

Yes, but then less people would buy it.

 

[marchrose2011]

The rose gold looks so different in every picture I see. Can't wait for mine to be here on the 25th to see it for myself!!

The Rose Gold iPhone 6s box appears to have an orange fish, while the Silver iPhone 6s has a blue fish. The fish on the Gold iPhone 6s box is blue and gold, while the Space Gray iPhone 6s packaging has a red fish.

Thank you MR for letting me know which color fishes are on each respective box. I thought my eyes weren't working for a second.

 

[navaira]

When 5C came out, I was all like "eww those colours are ugly". And then Apple moved on to iPod Touch refresh first. "Oh man that's gross." And then to rose pink. Gold! I mean gold. And now I miss the 5C colours so much.

 

[Nikos]

The iPhone 6 had the perfect box. Not really a fan of this year's, especially for Space Gray which is what I ended up going with.

 

[Mr. Mad Vibes]

Too many white models. We need more diversity.

White phones matter?

 

[naeS1Sean]

Drooling...lol. I think it looks copper...which would make since for rose gold. I'm not agreeing with all the pinkness.

 

[Mr. Mad Vibes]

Why apple? Why couldn't you make a space black iPhone 6s?

 

[ZEEN0j]

The iPhone 6 had the perfect box. Not really a fan of this year's, especially for Space Gray which is what I ended up going with.

Don't really care about the box. I put it away as soon as I open it. But those boxes look really tacky.

 

[BeyondtheTech]

Boy, they're really catering to the Chinese this round. They were already a hit with the gold model, and with the rose gold and exotic fish theme, they are going to eat this up big time.
