Rumors related to Apple's upcoming products are always circulating around the Internet, especially with the launch of the new iPhone and iPad just months away. Now, the latest reports suggest that Apple will offer the iPhone 6S in a luxury rose gold color model, among other color options, as well as an extra microphone, a 12 MP camera and Force Touch technology.
Apple has been speculated to launch three handsets in September, the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6S Plus with a bigger screen and the mini 4-inchiPhone 6C, a successor to the lower-cost iPhone 5C launched in 2013.
Now, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a good track record of calling Apple product plans ahead of their official announcement, the iPhone 6S would come with a luxury rose gold finish. In a research note released this week, Kuo also discussed the possibility of a change in the materials used to manufacture the iPhone 6S, a camera upgrade and the addition of Force Touch.
Ruling out the possibility of Apple launching a smaller 4in version of the iPhone 6S, Kuo predicts the next-gen iPhone will come with the same 4.7in and 5.5in screen options as the current model. However, Kuo believes that Apple will add a rose gold color option for the iPhone 6S to match the super-expensive Apple Watch Edition. Kuo also expects the iPhone 6S to feature a new design, new case made of different materials and a restructured internal design, all of which will resolve any bending issues experienced by users of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Kuo further believes that the 5.5-inch " iPhone 6S Plus" models could use scratch-resistant sapphire covers. An extra microphone would be added near the iPhone 6S speaker to improve the device's sound quality, while Apple will upgrade its camera to 12 megapixels, according to Kuo. Apple will also incorporate its Force Touch technology in the iPhone 6S, which Kuo believes, will be the product's biggest selling point.
Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are likely to go into mass production in August this year and Kuo expects around 80-90 million units to be sold in 2015.
