Well if the 42mm Rose gold watch sold for 12k I can only imagine what the price of the Rose gold phone will go for.
You are misunderstanding. The article is talking about replacing the gorilla/ion-x screen cover with a sapphire cover. Yes the whole screen.
Me too!!!
Except I'm sticking with my 5. Perfect size. Would rather go to a Sony than go to a phone I can't use one handed.
I thought a better screen was going to be one of the upgrades too... like the glass, not resolution. I could of swore I heard they were gunna adapt the Ion-X stuff on the watch for use on the iPhones, even though that's not 100% scratch resistant.
This fits with the usual 'S' update:
- fix the casing problems of the last phone (this time the bending.. previously antennagate, fixed in the 4S.. scuffgate, fixed in the 5S)
- better camera
- new feature: force touch (previously Siri in the 4S, touchID in the 5S)
- more grunt: 2GB (and I wouldn't be surprised to see a speed bump too (previously the S phones got the biggest jumps in CPU and GPU performance))
So, yes.. reasonable guess at 6S spec.

Really? did not know that. lol. Well they should upgrade it even more... I'm so sick of having to buy screen protectors.
There's no real reason to implement USB-type C. Lightning is widely adopted among many Apple products and it is also a smaller connector than type C. Apple need as much space as they can get.
is that 12mp camera gonna be with the better aperture through the 4 lens system developed by that Israeli company I have no idea what is was called?
While sapphire is undoubtedly stronger, I've been genuinely suprised by how good the oleophobic coating and glass has been on my 6.
