A photo of the retail packaging of the upcoming iPhone 6s has been reportedly posted on a Chinese gadget blog earlier this week. The leak photo allegedly reveals Apple's upcominng flagship handset's unimpressive features.

According to BGR, the recently leaked photo of the iPhone 6s retail packaging truly uncovered a few significant things about the forthcoming Apple's latest iPhones, and also provides one more revelation. The leak was said fired at first just like the iPhone 6's retail packaging that was ignored when it first leaked last year, but then people recognized that the image was possibly genuine.

The cnBeta noted that the leak shows an exterior that appears familiar but stylish and offers confidence to talk those dynamic wallpapers, including region specific options that will be supported by the iOS 9 for the first time, reports Forbes.

Moreover, cnBeta said that the new iPhone 6S will have a reduced battery capacity. The iPhone 6 boasts an 1810 mAh while the iPhone 6s is said to only deliver 1715 mAh.

This 5.3% decrease is said not that vast, however, this will surely become as a certain concern for the forthcoming iPhone 6S since battery life has been one of the worst features of the iPhone 6.

Despite of this decreased battery life, the Apple has emphasized that iOS 9 will be more efficient than iOS 8, though with the new iPhone 6s that packs considerably more powerful hardware it is hard to realize why the company picked battery capacity that couldn't at least match the batteries of its predecessors.

The Gazette review. on the other hand, has stated that Macrumors confirmed iPhone 6s will be heavier and thicker than the iPhone 6. However, the good news is that the difference will only be less than two grams.

Furthermore, the iPhone 6s will reportedly not increase its 32 GB base storage option. It is said that Apple will keep a similar storage with its existing phones of 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. Apple said to save users a few gigabytes with iOS 9. Hence, that should not be a problem.

As for its pricing, the iPhone 6S is reportedly having different price tags depending on its version. The iPhone 6s with 16GB comes at $649, while its 64GB version is at $749, and its 128GB version at $849.
