iPhone 6s Rumored to Include 2GB of Faster RAM and 'Force Touch' Technology

Apple may boost the amount of internal RAM and use faster LPDDR4 RAM technology in its next-generation iPhone 6s (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6s/), claims TechNews Taiwan (http://technews.tw/2015/01/14/next-iphone-has-2gb-lpddr-4-and-may-has-force-touch/) (via G Gor Games (http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/iphone-6s-2gb-lpddr4-memory-46068/)). These RAM modules offer low power consumption and a significant performance increase over the 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/16/iphone-6-plus-reviews-1-gb-ram/) used in the current-generation iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

 According to supply chain sources, the LPDDR4 RAM modules for the iPhone 6s will be supplied primarily by Hynix, Samsung, and Micron-Elpida. Elpida reportedly was behind schedule, but the company allegedly improved its manufacturing process to a level that will meet Apple's demand. Micron-Elpida and Hynix were identified in iFixit teardown analyses (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+6+Teardown/29213) as the RAM suppliers for Apple's current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models.
 
 Apple's next-generation iPhone also is rumored to sport the same design as the iPhone 6 with internal improvements such as an A9 processor and a dual-lens DSLR quality camera. Today's report also hints at the adoption of "Force Touch" technology (https://www.apple.com/watch/technology/) as seen on the Apple Watch to differentiate between quick taps and more forceful presses.
 
 It is not clear, however, how Apple would implement such a system on the iPhone as it would appear to require a major shift in display technology for the device given that the Apple Watch uses a flexible OLED display paired with electrode sensors to support the Force Touch feature.
