And, if Apple sticks to the same pattern as previous years, that means we'll likely see an
iPhone 6s and
iPhone 6s Plus as soon as September. Here's what you need to know about them!</p> <ul><li>Make sure you enter our
#SwitchToiPhone give-away!</li> </ul><p><strong>Note:</strong> We'll continue to update this FAQ as new and better information becomes available so bookmark it and come back often!</p> <h2>Why 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6s Plus'?</h2> <p>Since 2008, Apple has followed what's called a "tick-tock" update cycle. One year the number is incremented and the design refreshed, the next an 's' is added and the internals and features get a boost. 3G and 3GS, 4 and 4s, and 5 and 5s. So, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus is the presumption for this year.</p> <p>Apple can change the pattern at any time, of course. Product names are ultimately marketing decisions. We need to call the them something, though, and iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are workable options.</p> <h2>When will Apple release the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus?</h2> <p>For the last several years Apple's announced new iPhones sometime in the middle of the second week of September and shipped them at the end of the third week of September.</p> <p>Again, Apple can change that at any time, but shipping the fall means getting bought for the holidays.</p> <h2>But a bunch of other companies have already announced new phones!</h2> <p>Sure, but that happens every year. No movie wants to come out the same weekend as Star Wars, and no phone wants to be announce around the same time as the iPhone. Our advice, if you're looking for a new phone, is to wait and see what Apple—and everyone else—announces and then, come September, see what suits you best.</p> <h2>Will iOS 9 be coming with the new iPhones?</h2> <p>Yup! Apple typically releases the new version of iOS right before the new phones, so we should see both within a couple days of each other, and iOS 9 will be installed on every new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus that ships.</p> <ul><li>
iOS 9 first look</li> </ul><h2>What size would the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus be?</h2> <p>Every "s" model to date has kept a nearly identical casing to the year before. If Apple keeps the same design for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, that would mean we'd get the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens.</p> <h2>But... what about a new-ish 4-inch iPhone?</h2> <p>There have been rumors of an iPhone 6c, which would be an iPhone 5c updated with iPhone 6-class specs. There are
reasons why an iPhone 6c might make sense. Ultimately, however, Apple will decide how many new iPhones the company can optimally make and market at once, and what sizes best suit their customer base.</p> <h2>Will they have a faster processor?</h2> <p>Since the iPhone 4 in 2010, Apple has introduced a new A-series processor every year along with the new devices. Since last year was the Apple A8 system-on-a-chip (SoC), this year would likely be the Apple A9 (SoC). New chipsets usually provide more speed and better power efficiency, as well as improved image signal processing (ISP) for photography.</p> <h2>So.. a better camera?</h2> <p>Apple loves cameras and they've also been a big focus of every event since the iPhone 4. There's seems to be no reason to stop now, so in addition to an improved ISP, a higher resolution sensor certainly makes the kind of sense that does.</p> <h2>What about new colors?</h2> <p>With the iPod touch line, Apple has shown they can anodize pretty much any color they want. The iPhone 5s came with a new champagne gold finish option so, rumor has it, the company might use the iPhone 6s to introduce rose gold to better match the Apple Watch options.</p> <h2>Any chance of Force Touch?</h2> <p>Apple seldom locks features to only one product. Force Touch was first introduced on the Apple Watch but actually shipped first on the new MacBook. That shows it can be implemented on a wide range of products. So, again, why stop at just a few?</p> <p>Also, the iPhone 3GS got speed, the iPhone 4s got Siri, the iPhone 5s got a fingerprint sensor, so why not give the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus some pressure sensitivity by way of Force Touch and the Taptic Engine? On the Apple Watch, Force Click is used to bring up context-sensitive menu options. On the Mac, to simulate a trackpad click—or multiple depths of click—and to allow for adaptable drawing.</p> <p>A lot of that would be great on the iPhone.</p> <h2>What about USB-C?</h2> <p>Apple only just adopted Lightning with the iPhone 5 in 2012. The company's previous interconnect, the 30-pin Dock, lasted 10 years. The Lightning-like USB-C does have standardization on its side, though Lightning itself is still more flexible.</p> <p>Again, Apple can and will do whatever the company thinks is best for the business and for customers.</p> <h2>Wireless charging?</h2> <p>Apple already has wireless charging on the Watch. Qualcomm has new chipsets that can do wireless charging through metal. Whether or not Apple could fit the charging tech inside the same casing, and whether or not Apple considers the technology ready for the iPhone, however, remain to be seen.</p> <h2>Espresso or beer dispenser in the 3.5 mm headset jack?</h2> <p>They'd sell a billion!</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
