Apple has recently been reported that the tech giant is looking for three more possible device releases this year. A new report says another 2015 MacBook Pro will come out following the Apple Watch and the 2015 MacBook that have been launched. iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 are now in the queue.
Among those still in the line, iPhone 6s will most likely follow the chain of Apple products releases. So far in the rumor mill, iPhone 6s' overall makeover seems to be elusive to public eyes. However, leaks have been gone out too for yearning fans to have a taste of how Apple will treat its next smartphone.
The most recent is the color variants. According to a report, Apple might be exploring the color department with rose gold, silver, and space grey versions, aside from the conventional black and white.
The next iPhone specie is reported to have its display extend to its sides, similar to Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge. This report sparked after a patent request of Apple refers to sidewall displays which will offer an interactive or touch-sensitive portions for slide-to-unlock access, music player buttons, called ID, messaging readout and system controls.
With Corning revealed a new kind of glass called Project Phire, iPhone 6s displays may come from this material instead of Sapphire. GT Advanced Technologies, who have purveyed Apple's 200 million 5-inch Sapphire screen per year has been bankrupt. Corning produces Gorilla Glass which is used in current iPhones.
According to Corning president James Clappin, Gorilla Glass 4 does not fall far away from Sapphire with its scratch resistance and durability.
Liquidmetal is another candidate. Apple has the sole license for the material and uses it for the SIM-removal tool. However, everything remains a speculation until now.
In another news, a patent has been spotted early this month describing a capacity for protecting electronic parts from moisture. This might translate to a waterproof iPhone.
Pioneered by Apple Watch and the new 2015 MacBook, a Force Touch technology will make iPhone 6s recognize new gestures-either a tap or a press.
Expected to be the biggest camera jump in iPhone history, iPhone 6s was rumored since November last year to have a two-lens system for an optical zoom capabilities and a DSLR-quality images. Another report from a Taiwanese tech site suggests an 8mp front camera.
iPhone 6s' processor will be called A9, said to be more powerful than the 64-bit A8 processor. A9 will be lined with M9 co-processor which will handle the sensor responsibility of A8 for a more efficient performance. With additional RAM from 1 to 2GB, iOS 9 will make a better multitasking performance too.
Another Apple patent had been spotted that the Touch ID fingerprint sensor will be built in to the display from its original location below the Home Button. A gaming joystick, meanwhile, will pop up out from the Home Button. This was discovered after an Apple patent showed up.
Already used in iPads, Apple SIM is expected to be introduced in the next iPhone that allows users to select a new network without changing the SIM card. Wireless charging was also rumored to be in.
Although it remains unofficial, iPhone 6s is reported to release by September 2015.
