What stops the iPhone 6S from doing 4k@60fps?

The iPhone 5 was capable of 60FPS with third party apps. I just think that Apple didn't feel they "perfected it" or made it good enough to be used normally until the camera technology of the iPhone 6 rolled around.
Tell that to Apple. They're still charging $200 for 128gb of flash memory lol.It's almost 2016, storage is cheap
Frankly I'm amazed that this little device in my pocket can shoot video at a resolution good enough for a movie theater, and edit it in iMovie without any lag at all. That's pretty freaking incredible if you ask me.
The main way I've been using 4k is when I need to shoot something in the distance. I shoot at 4k, bring it into iMovie, zoom in the clip, and render to 1080p. I can crop in quite a bit and still get full 1080 resolution out of the final product. It's like having a zoom lens.

I wish. At least as far as MacBooks are concerned.
A9 may be perfectly capable for 4K @ 60fps; however, it is going to put a lot of load on the hardware. My GoPro Hero 4 Black can do 4K @ 30fps and it feels like it could burn your hand after few minutes of recording. I couldn't imagine a phone being able to handle the heat.
There probably is a technical limitation to doing 4k @ 60fps.
If no android phone has managed to do this, it's hardly a surprise that it hasn't featured on an iphone.
