According to Focus Taiwan, Apple’s next flagship phone will be called the iPhone 6s,
while its larger variant would go by the name iPhone 6S Plus. But what’s most interesting about this report, at least on a business standpoint, is how the purported 4.7-inch iPhone 6S may be the first where Apple partner Pegatron would shoulder more than half of the load when it comes to manufacturing. There also appears to be a good chance Pegatron will end up manufacturing most iPhone 6S Plus units as well.
Separately, another recent report claims that there won’t be just two iPhone 6S/iPhone 7 variants in 2015, but three. Citing Apple’s Chinese supply chain partners, GforGames reported late last week that Apple may be releasing a 4-inch iPhone in the second half of next year, with the main target market being female device owners. The device may also be targeted toward users who put a premium on one-handed usability, which was a key selling point for the iPhone before this year’s larger iPhone 6 and 6 Plus arrived.
Rumors on the iPhone 6S/iPhone 7’s specifications and features are still comparatively scant, due to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus being less than three months removed from their release dates. But if we are to speculate about the phone’s fundamentals, we can expect display sizes to remain the same. We can also look forward to Apple remaining bullish on an 8-megapixel sensor for the rear camera – after all, Apple wants to sell actual camera performance, rather than on-paper megapixel counts. iOS 9 is sure to debut on the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, and the rumored 4-inch variant.
While Touch ID was the big addition on 2013’s iPhone 5s, next year’s phones’ big “party trick,” as we told you last week, may be the presence of anti-drop technology. This technology, according to a recent patent, “(moves) the mass in the protective mechanism in response to detecting the free fall” of the phone.
