It's only been a year since the launch of the hit iPhone 6 and its larger version, the iPhone 6 Plus but the internet is already abuzz with next-gen smartphone rumors. There are speculations about specific iPhone 6S features which could set the device apart from its predecessors.
Leaks about the newest Apple product expected to be released sometime in September suggest upgraded features that include functionality and control.
A recent article about a patent application hinted that Apple may have plans of further improving the iPhone's Touch ID feature to more than mere phone unlocking and identification verification. According to Business Insider, "The patent application, published on Thursday, describes a system in which you could use the iPhone's fingerprint sensor to actually navigate your phone."
The article further shared that the expansion of sensor capabilities showcases that Touch ID technology is only beginning.
"iPhone 6S" Features and Specs
KGI Securities' Ming Chi Kuo, whose Apple leaks over the years have been quite reliable, came up with a list of what to expect from the iPhone 6S and its over-sized companion, the iPhone 6S Plus. The upcoming mobile device may come an enhanced camera that jumps from 8-MP to a much higher 12-MP in addition to an improved and strengthened casing design to address the infamous bending problems which surrounded the iPhone 6 phones.
Kuo shared that the anticipated 6S models will have Force Touch technology, a feature that's already being used in the company's new wearable, the Apple Watch.
Following the two-model release by Apple last year, it's expected that the Cupertino-based firm will also release a 4-inch model to launch alongside the iPhone 6S.
No official word regarding the phone's price, specs and design have been announced. The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are expected to hit the market this September.
