The anticipation is high for the iPhone 6S.
Now that the US-based phone manufacturer has contracted suppliers Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation for the mass production of its A9 processor, it seems likely that the next iPhone 6 version release will either be late Q3 or October this year. This will also allow the current iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus more time to sink their teeth into the smartphone market with a planned 45-million shipment by June, as they remain to be one of the best selling phones to-date. An estimated 50 million units were reportedly sold by Q1 2015.
The iPhone 6S is reportedly armed with an improved 8MP camera, Intel wireless card, the Touch ID system, and the Force Touch. The Touch ID sensor is a fingerprint system designed to provide a better phone security in conjunction with the Apple ID and other standard security in place. It will also serve as a new verification standard for Apple Store purchases. On the other hand, the Force Touch technology used in Apple Watches is supposed to make touchscreen and phone navigaion muh more efficient.
While its other internal components is expected to be a bit higher and better performing (like additional RAM), there is no definite word yet. However, it's safe to assume such since the S versions are considered the high-end versions, and the main prototype of the next release (in this case, the iPhone 7).
The Apple iPhone 6 runs on iOS 8.0 (upgradeable to 8.2) powered by Apple's A8 chipset with 1.4GHz dual-core Cyclone CPU and PowerVR GX6450 GPU. It has an internal storage capacity of either 16GB, 64GB or 128GB with 1GB RAM and a 2915 mAh battery.
Speaking of the iPhone 7. since the California-based phone maker intends to maintain its once-a-year new flagship release plan, it seems poised to focus on the iPhone 6S release later this year than release a new iPhone version.
