Leaked Photos of Next-Generation 'iPhone 6s' Show Only Minor Internal Differences

[MacRumors]

The next-generation iPhone, often referred to as the "iPhone 6s," will likely retain the same exterior design as the iPhone 6, based on purported images of the device's rear shell obtained by 9to5Mac. The report claims the rear shell is identical to the iPhone 6 on the outside, including the same thickness and width, with only minor internal differences.

The leaked photos of the "iPhone 6s" reveal that the Lightning connector, speakers, microphones, headphone jack, volume rocker, mute button, sleep/wake button, SIM card slot, antenna lines and cutout for the rear-facing camera and LED flash are all identical to the iPhone 6, which is unsurprising given that "S" model iPhones have historically looked almost identical to the iPhone released one year prior.

While the exterior design on the "iPhone 6s" looks unchanged, the rear shell has a notably different internal mounting structure that suggests a new logic board and other components are incoming. In particular, the next-generation iPhone is rumored to include an A9 processor with 2GB of RAM, Force Touch, 7000 Series aluminum and improved 12-megapixel camera, among other changes.

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Yes yes but WHERE is my iTunes update?

 

[ThisIsNotMe]

So every other iPhone S update.

 

[CooKieMoNs7eR]

Just give me a better camera and 2 GB ram...

 

[chriscrk]

Truly exciting information.

 

[Benjamin Frost]

I shed a tear for the 4" iPhone.

Perhaps the iPhone 7 will bring some succour.

 

[Appurushido]

Just give me a better camera and 2 GB ram...

Indeed. At least 2GB RAM would be great.

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

It better have more ram.

 

[JerTheGeek]

PLEASE give us a 4 inch version of the 6S! I know it probably won't happen but I still want one.

 

[TheRainKing]

So the S version is basically the same with better specs?

Where/how does 9to5Mac get all this stuff????

 

[doboy]

still waiting for notification LED

 

[Roykor]

Never change a winning team right? But i feel a bit sorry for the creative team behind the iPhone. Not much changed for them in years. Must be boring as hell.

 

[KylePowers]

lol duh

 

[gsmornot]

I'm going to suggest a two piece 6S Plus. All the new features, same great screen but let me detach the logic board and take it with me paired to my watch for GPS and processing in a light weight package. Running with a 6 Plus is not exactly easy. I know I can leave it home but prefer to have a phone with me when I'm out. You never know.

 

[Godzilla71]

Did they happen to find this shell in a bar.

 

[Mike MA]

Yes yes but WHERE is my iTunes update?

Really off-topic here, but I can't wait to get rid of that awful red iTunes icon on my Mac aswell.

 

[Rogifan]

Of course it's the same. New designs happen every two years. Nothing to see here...move on.

 

[gigapocket1]

still waiting for notification LED

thats what the apple watch is for

 

[CentralOffice]

Just give me a better camera and 2 GB ram...

Would this eliminate constant refreshing of open Safari tabs? If so, please do we need that.

 

[MrXiro]

I'd been a yearly upgrader since the 4S. I think this is the one I'm finally going to skip. The 6 has reached a level where I can't really complain much.

 

[Serban]

A9 processor with 2GB of RAM, Force Touch, 7000 Series aluminum and improved 12-megapixel camera AND starting with 32 Gb storage by default

 

[oliversl]

w i l l i t b e n t ?

 

[redheeler]

Really off-topic here, but I can't wait to get rid of that awful red iTunes icon on my Mac aswell.

The new one is a less consistent color and doesn't match the other icons well on OS X, so I'll probably be putting the red one back when I update.

On topic: Hoping for OLED on the 6s+. I'm ready to upgrade from my tiny 5s.

 

[LordQ]

Eh... The 4S is getting iOS 9 so it's iPhone 7 for me in 2016.
