Apple's upcoming 'iPhone 6s' and iPhone 6s Plus' smartphones were previously rumored to incorporate a five-megapixel sensor out the front and now a revered analyst is reaffirming those rumors.
Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, arguably the most reliable Apple analyst in the world, is reporting in a note to clients, a copy of which was obtained by MacRumors, that aside from upgrading the back shooter to twelve megapixels, the front-facing camera on the new phones will be five megapixels.
Contrary to prior rumors, 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple's long-expected oversized 'iPad Pro' will be formally announced at the iPhone 6s press event after all. The event's been confirmed to take place a week from today, on next Wednesday, September 9, at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
The publication learned from sources that the forthcoming presentation is set to be one of largest events in Apple's history. In addition to the iPad Pro and the iPhone 6s/6s Plus, it should serve as a launchpad for a fourth-generation iPad mini, a substantially refreshed Apple TV set top box and new Apple Watch Sport bands.
Revered gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer recently published a photo of claimed iPhone 6s packaging which suggests that Apple's upcoming iPhones will continue to offer just sixteen gigabytes of storage in baseline models.
A new report Wednesday by 9to5Mac's well-connected Mark Gurman reaffirms claims that Apple won't be ditching the 16-gigabyte tier.
Moreover, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus should have unchanged on-contract pricing as the 2014 models: $199/$299/$399 for the 16/64/128GB iPhone 6s and $299/$399/$499 for the 16/64/128GB iPhone 6s Plus.
Some new photos surfaced this weekend, showing what is said to be the front face of an iPhone 6s. 9to5Mac shares the high resolution images of the claimed component, which appears to offer up insight into two of the unannounced handset's new features.
The first is a higher resolution FaceTime camera. We've been hearing rumors for a while now that the iPhone 6s will feature an improved front-facing camera for taking better selfies, and if legitimate, this part confirms it with a larger FaceTime camera sensor.
Despite rumors that Apple would finally be dropping its anemic 16GB model for the next iPhone refresh, a new leak from well-respected leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer is suggesting otherwise.
Hemmerstoffer, who is no stranger to leaking details about upcoming mobile devices, posted a photo of the sticker that normally resides on the back of an iPhone's box. As you're probably aware of, the stickers glued to the back of the box are what provide statistical details relating to storage size, network compatibility, etc.
If this leak is true—and I've seen nothing to make me believe otherwise—there's going to be some disappointed people come September 9th.
As various iPhone 6s parts continue to leak out like crazy, a source provided MacRumors with new high-quality images and information pertaining to a screen assembly on Apple's upcoming 'iPhone 6s'.
The claimed part is slightly heavier and thicker than on the iPhone 6, but the biggest takeaway is a mysterious new chip which seemingly confirms that Force Touch is coming to the next iPhone.
Apple today officially confirmed its rumored media event will be indeed taking place on Wednesday, September 9. The press conference is widely expected to bring new iPhones, iPads and possibly a next-generation Apple TV.
New pieces of information continue to surface in the run-up to the event. According to latest tidbits from a reputable publication with reliable sources, Apple won't unveil an 'iPhone 6c' at the event.
A lot has been said thus far about “the biggest camera jump ever” expected to grace Apple's upcoming 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6s Plus' smartphones. A report Thursday by 9to5Mac attempts to bring Apple's next-generation camera technology into full view.
According to sources who spoke with author Mark Gurman, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will introduce “a major revamp” to the camera system that ostensibly includes a twelve-megapixel iSight sensor out the back that can capture video in full 4K resolution, in addition to a simple software trick designed to bring flash support to the FaceTime camera out the front.
Apple's upcoming 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6s Plus' smartphones are said to include animated backgrounds inspired by the Apple Watch's Motion face, 9to5Mac learned from sources. Of course, Apple has offered dynamic wallpapers since iOS 7, but it's a single motif in seven color choices.
These new animated backgrounds created for upcoming iPhones are being described as sharing the same theme as the Motion face on the Apple Watch, which shows painstakingly crafted animations of jellyfish, multi-colored butterflies and brightly colored flowers.
Developer and noted iOS beta hacker Hamza Sood has discovered code relating to Force Touch in iOS 9. Sood tweeted out a screenshot of the code this evening, saying it appears Apple has been "testing keyboard trackpad gestures on the iPhone 6s, activated via Force Touch."
Given that the 6s is expected to be unveiled within the next few weeks, and believed to already be in mass production, it would seem the code all-but-confirms that the new iPhone will include Force Touch technology—a feature that already exists in MacBooks and Apple Watch.
A video of a partially assembled 'iPhone 6s' is making rounds on the web, revealing previously unknown details about Apple's next-generation handset which is set for unveiling at a rumored media event on Wednesday, September 9.
According to MacRumors, the authenticity of the components used to kinda assemble the phone couldn't be verified though the parts appear to resemble previously leaked ones from an iPhone 6s prototype.
A new rumor published this weekend by Business Insider claims that a camera on Apple's next-generation 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6s Plus' employs a bigger sensor that can take in more light.
In addition, an unnamed source involved with the next iPhone's camera design told the publication that Apple has created an enhanced lens designed to work with that improved sensor, which is also said to capture more detail by increasing pixel count to twelve megapixels.
