More alleged rumors about Apple's next iPhone iteration have been revealed. These latest speculations say the "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus" will have improved front camera features and feature 1080p video recording. Developer Hamza Sood recently came upon some telling code in the iOS 9 beta that points to the rumored features.
Sood tweeted a screen grab of the new front-camera features not present in any of the current iPhones in the market, including the iPhone 6. The iOS 9 list hinted future iPhone front cameras, which may include the iPhone 6S, will boast of 1080p resolution with 240fps slow motion video recording, LED flash, and panoramic selfie capture technology.
Meanwhile KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made some predictions about Apple's next device claiming the size will remain the same at 4.7-inches and 5.5 inches. He also says the main selling points of the "iPhone 6s" and 6s Plus will be the new Force Touch feature found on the new MacBook and Apple Watch. Other predicted features include an A9 processor with 2GB of RAM, an improved 12-megapixel camera, a new Rose Gold color and the possible addition of a sapphire cover lense. Check out Kuo's other 11 predictions below:
1. Force Touch will be the biggest upgraded selling point, but also one of the main bottlenecks of the supply chain. Force Touch can enhance user experience due to more input methods and support of handwritten signatures, which is beneficial for expanding in the commercial market.
2. Screen will remain at 4.7 and 5.5 inches, with resolution the same as existing models. There will be no new 4-inch model.
3. There will be an additional casing color, rose gold, matching the rose gold Apple Watch Edition.
4. The camera will have a pixel upgrade, likely to 12 MP.
5. One microphone will be added near the speaker to enhance voice quality.
6. The A9 processor with upgraded 2GB LPDDR4 will be adopted.
7. The bending issue will be improved by using different casing materials and internal mechanical design changes.
8. If drop test issues can be resolved, the 5.5-inch model will have a limited number of units with sapphire cover lens.
9. The recognition rate of Touch ID will be improved further in a bid to promote Apple Pay.
10. Gesture control support.
11. It’s expected that mass production will start in mid-to-late August. Total shipments will be 80-90mn in 2015, with a 2:1 ratio of 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models.
