Apple's iPhone 6s will finally be unveiled in the next couple of months and will go on the racks shortly after its official launch. Numerous rumors have been leaked about the phablet's what to offer and one of the eye-catcher would be its rumored chipset, the A9.
The A9 chipset was also rumored to end the issues of the previous iPhone's when it comes to its performance and battery department. If this is indeed true, then Apple will be again the king of the hill. But, as a start, what exactly is A9 and what will it bring to the new iPhones?
A technology specialist from The Motley Fool looked inside the A9 chipset and dissected the things that the newest processor can offer. Many chipsets come in anywhere from 4 to 8 processor cores in their designs. However, Apple, since A5 have only produced 2 cores.
The two core tier might look inferior to the 4 to 8 cores but in reality, the 2 core chipset is far more superior compared to the multi-tiered core that others offer. Apple has been above and beyond as compared to its competitors, with this approach, the specialist cited.
That being said, it is most likely for A9 to offer the 2 core processor, because of the obvious reasons. Another improvement on the A9 chipset that the specialist has cited was its decrease in size, from 20nm to 14/16nm. With the decrease, the processor will have a higher peak and sustained clock frequencies, which will result to a better performance.
After all the analysis, the website's specialist concluded that the A9, together with an improved CPU design will have a perfect combination of high frequencies and improved micro-architecture which will lead into an exceptional boost in the phone's CPU performance.
The iPhone 6s is rumored to be officially released on September this year with a new and improved processor, operating system, and touch technology, Mac World reported.With this in place, it is most likely that the iPhone 6s will again dominate the market. However, the experts were not convinced that the upcoming iPhone 6s will deliver the expected number it will deliver, Phone Arena claimed.
On a report of the phone review website, a securities analysis firm cited that the iPhone 6s will be a flop due two things and the biggest reason is China's recent economy. It is out in the open that China's economy is currently facing a daunting situation and from the looks of it, China may be looking at a long stretch before they can finally rebound.
In relation to the downfall of the iPhone 6s, when the iPhone 6 was released, China was its saving grace. The country has booked the majority of the phablet's sale, and it might not happen for the iPhone 6s by this time.
The next reason that News AU pointed out was the iPhone 6s' biggest selling point, the Force Touch Technology. Force Touch is what Apple is banking on with regards to the iPhone 6s, and according to the expert, it won't do the trick for the customers and potential buyers.
However, Apple is no stranger to such criticism as they've been in the same situation from the time the multi-billion company was established but from time to time, they seem to defy the odds. Can they this time? Who knows, maybe?
If Force Touch might not do the trick for iPhone 6s this time, maybe it is the right time for Apple to refocus their aim and use the powerful and impressive A9 chipset as their biggest selling point. Who knows, maybe?
