It has only been a few months since the release of the iPhone 6 series but details about a new iPhone, the 6s, have started popping out. According to new information from Asia, Apple appears to be planning on including a "Force Touch" technology while adding more built-in RAM. According to Apple Insider, Apple is borrowing its watch's "Force Touch" technology to include in the iPhone 6s.
The company also wants to boost memory up to 2GB RAM. The report also hints that Apple will switch to new LPDDR4 chips. The new chips offer twice the bandwidth capacity of the LPDDR3 while exhausting similar amount of energy. Apple used the LPDDR3 on the iPhone series recently.
More importantly, Forbes' Gordon Kelly reports taht the upcoming iPhone 6s will be featuring dramatic changes on the iOS 9. Despite the impressive speed of the iOS 8 on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus, why is there a need to upgrade?
Looking at Apple's history, its hardware upgrades are not exactly released to compete directly with competitors rather to support internal improvements. For instance, the changes in the hardware may be in line with the increasing tests of the iOS 9. This means Apple has been engaged in a number of development cycles hinting a= bigger improvements.
Apple's OS history also suggests at major enhancements along the way. For instance, the iOS 5 introduced considerable Cloud integration whereas the iOS 6 came with the Maps. The iOS 7 brought dramatic design changes and the iOS 8 came with payment and health integration. The iOS 9 should come with its distinctive feature as well.
According to MacWorld, people can expect changes in Apple's releases as it may move toward two phone releases per year instead of just one. This is to keep up with the pace of other competitors like Sony, LG, HTC and Samsung. Likely periods are spring and fall.
