Apple to Order Record-Breaking 85-90 Million Force Touch-Equipped 'iPhone 6s' Models

Apple is asking suppliers to assemble a record-breaking 85 to 90 million units of its next-generation iPhone models combined by year-end, according to The Wall Street Journal (http://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-preparing-record-number-of-new-iphones-1436367371). That order tops the reported 70 to 80 million (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/21/apple-iphone-6-record-order/) iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units that Apple ordered during its initial production run last year.

 The report reiterates rumors that the so-called "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus" will feature both Force Touch (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/26/iphone-force-touch-early-production/), which can distinguish between a light tap and deep press, and a new color option (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/12/kgi-iphone-6s-2015-predicitions/), likely rose gold or pink. Foxconn and Pegatron are expected to be the main suppliers of the next-generation iPhones, while Apple may elect to use a third assembler Wistron to help fulfill the record-breaking number of orders.
 
 The next-generation iPhones will reportedly enter mass-production starting next month and are expected to retain the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes and current display resolutions. The "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus" are widely expected to be announced in September with a focus on non-cosmetic improvements such as an A9 processor with 2GB of RAM (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/12/kgi-iphone-6s-2015-predicitions/), Force Touch (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/26/iphone-force-touch-early-production/), faster Qualcomm LTE chip (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/01/iphone-6s-qualcomm-lte/) and improved 12-megapixel rear-facing camera (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/15/iphone-6s-12-megapixel-camera-report/).
