IPhone 6S leaks (identical design-wise, most changes are inside)

Nineshadow

People who buy iPhones every single time one comes out are morons.

I went from 1st original Iphone to 4s and will upgrade to 6s plus when it comes out.  I usually upgrade for the long haul.

Expressing and forcing my opinion is quite a difference.

 

You're "warning" people that don't agree with your opinion. That's pretty forceful if you ask me.

I'm in no way surprised.

 

It's an "S" model, meaning that it's the same phone outside, but with internal hardware changes.

 

I'm interested in the "Force Touch" tech. Tested it on a 2015 MacBook and I was actually impressed at how it felt like a traditional trackpad even though the trackpad itself didn't move.

 

I'll likely play with it for some time for my personal review, but I'm not getting one as my daily. I'm extremely satisfied with my LG G4.

so this totally could be just a 6 and we'd have no idea.

 

Nope it's 100% not just a 6 aha, even though the outside is pretty much exactly the same, the whole logic board size is reduced so there is now room for potentially a larger battery, also there are some internal design changes not just on the logic board but on the metal too with screw points and mounting points, and the issue that was causing bend at the weak spot near the lower volume button seems to be addressed as that part had a design change too, there was a noticeable screw on the 6 and 6 Plus that isn't there on these leaks o:

Lol, get off your high horse and at least try to have a decent argument here.

I can make some easy shots towards Apple fans, but I wont because I have decency.

lol the hate is strong in this one.  apple continue to innovate. apple pay anyone. oh as for retna i give you \/\/\/\/\/\/

 

I don't hate apple, I hate the cult that is their fanclub.

It's too late for this planet. Enjoy a new phone every year.

nah. We do have limited amounts of cobalt though. When that runs out we'll need to make phones that are as big as a 2L bottle. They're slowly training us for that, too, by making phones bigger every year.

yes, because wasting stuff is what we do ! and we do it well!

Exactly, buying a new phone every year wastes enormous amounts of resources. Spend a little time reading the iFixit ethos and you'll realise what a bad person you are.

I don't blindly hate, if they make good stuff, it's good. If it's shit and always the same thing, I hate it.

Sure, I can tell you a lot of reasons why I dislike Apple (their OS', reskinning hardware and fanboys), but you wouldn't be interested in it because you would shove it away and say "Well that's like your opinion man, I luv it<333333". So I wont even bother.

On a side note: I never buy Apple products, but if I would, I'd prefer buying the 'S' versions than the normal ones.

The S version is always the one who fixes the problem with the previous version:

iPhone 4: Antennagate

iPhone 5: Scuffgate

iPhone 6: Bendgate

...

And the iPhone 6 brings some real improvements: ForceTouch, 14nm chip, improved camera and fingers crossed we might finally get 2 gigs of RAM.

Jesus...

What a shit storm, and all caused by a possibly fake shell.

You can't say shit based on it, only that it looks a lot like an iPhone 6.

Well I'm sure if you were to look at the design of the iPhone 4 and 5 you'd also say that they look quite a like.

But specs wise they might be worlds apart.

The iPhone6 design isn't that bad so no need to change that.

The specs are though and you cannot say that they aren't changing those based on these picks.

And design wise, if you wish to make a comparison, I don't hear too many complaining that the GTX Titan and the GTX980 ti have virtually the same reference cooler.... Why? 1. the design is good 2. the specs are way different.

 

The stupid in this thread is hurting me.

 

Also, the iPhone 6 was hardly "the bleeding edge of tech" at all, specs were normal and software was decent. No major changes. Now the 6s could be, with that force touch, innovating at least a bit. Other than that I've hardly seen any reason for any one to call it "the bleeding edge".

ios is genius its simple,  it stays out of the way and just works....people bang on about customisation this and 3rd party apps that but really it would be much better if the vanilla apps work properly first time. its far smoother than android rarely hangs or crashes unlike android. the app store is a mile, and i mean mile better than android....it just works.

 

osx is ok but it need some more adjustments some of the simplest things to do in windows are a ball ache in mac and that will always be its let down.

 

reskining hardware ......are you shitting me....Samsung AMD nvidia HTC....that list is a mile long

 

fanboys....again nvidia AMD Samsung android.....there all the fucking same,

- your opinion. I hate iOS because it treats you like a dummy who is not allowed to do anything. But hey, if you like it..

 

- I want to be able to change things, not only looks but also the Home app itself.. That's just not a thing with iOS.

 

- OSX... *throw up* same problem as with iOS but on a big screen. Just works so stupid (not saying Windows is perfect, but it has just less stupid features and mechanics)

 

- Not sure why you bring AMD into the mix.. That's way besides the point.. And Samsung and HTC do indeed make similar looking phones sometimes, but those really are third (or second) party for Android. Google (together with its partners) makes vastly different Nexus phones all the time. Every Nexus phone is just very different to me

 

- mmkay, just saying some Apple fanboys are like on the top of the ladder of most annoying fanboys. I think they are generally more annoying than Xbox or Playstation fanboys.. Worse than AMD and Nvidia combined.

see, you might not know this but htc is dying because they don't bring anything new. Android users don't upgrade nearly as often. If you didn't know yet I can refresh your mind, S5 from Samsung was a failure, G3 from LG wasn't very well received, one m8 before camera upgrade was questionable for many people and htc is doing terribly. Sony is doing poorly too because there is no innovation. 

Phone is a tool, you don't buy a new tool unless it doesn't do what you need it to do anymore.

 

Yes I do know about it but my comment was mainly aimed at people just fanboying around. Who says Apple users upgrade often? I know many people who owns a 4S or a 5 waiting to upgrade when the 6S comes by. Sure there are those people who are enthusiastic about every new phone and I'm pretty sure it exists in the android world too

Also, "bleeding edge of technology" was meant as having the latest and greatest, which the new version of (insert product here) would be, which is exactly what we're talking about. But even so, the iphone kills any other smartphone when it comes to fluidity and how smooth things operate.

I didn't know the iPhone 5 scuffed badly. I thought the 5 wasn't involved in any scandals like the 4 and 6.

I did not specifically aim my comment at you. And I fully is disagree with your definition of the bleeding edge, but that is still irrelevant in this discussion. The bleeding edge by my definition would be the devices with the new experimental features. Such as a note Edge or a Google Glass. Not a most powerful or newest device. But you may live by your definition if you so wish.

So far though, by my definition, the 6s does not seem to be on the bleeding edge as far as exterior design goes.

Took me awhile I I remember now that the old Slate Gray on the original 5 would scuff easily. That's why Apple switched to Space Gray and hasn't looked back. Or they could be referring to the fact that the iPhone 5's aluminum chamferred edges would scuff easily due to how soft aluminum is.

From my personal experience with the iPhone 6, it doesn't need cutting-edge hardware.

 

It just works well together. iOS doesn't need much to run well and the entire hardware and software works in sync in a much better way compared to Android, as Apple only makes the phones and doesn't make many different models, so it's easy to optimize the hardware to the software. Compare that to the plethora of Android phones with different types of hardware and OEM skins. Not to mention the camera, despite being 8MP, is actually pretty good.

 

And I'm not fanboying here. My daily is an LG G4, and I absolutely love it. I'm just saying that the iPhone actually performs well on less-powerful hardware, and is almost as fast as my G4. They haven't really innovated much, but if Force Touch is coming to the 6S, then I am interested. My only gripe is that iOS still doesn't really take full advantage of the larger screen real-estate of the 6 and 6 Plus. Along with the fact that it hasn't changed much since 2007. Android's customizability and features is what made me an Android user, and I still am to this day, but I do applaud the iPhone for some things it can do.

I agree with everything you said, but I have to disagree with the one line about iOS not changing since 2007 (when the 1st iPhone was released) I think it's fair to say that they innovated, or brought about new features at a much slower rate then they should have done, and every major update we see features that should have been there a couple years back (And the same is true for iOS 9). But as far as overall changes have gone almost nothing remains to the core the same, everything got updated one way or another. 

 

And while stock Android is 100% more customizable than stock iOS, it really isn't hard to jailbreak now a days, and it makes literally everything customizable, I even remember running a look a like old Android OS back in the day on my iPod Touch 4th Gen  :D

 

But without jailbreaking I would probably be an Android user right now, the main reason I sticked with iOS was because I could jailbreak my old iPod Touch 2nd Gen back in 2008 with redsn0w (Which back then you couldn't even copy and paste on, let alone change your background wallpaper  :()

I just want a thicker phone with a larger and longer lasting battery. Why is that so hard? :(

well.. That's pretty much an iPhone 6...

INNOVATION

I suggest you look up the definition of innovation. Because every variant of the iPhone is an innovation from. The previous model. Apple hasn't invented much, but they've done alot of innovating.

The "Retina" moniker has meaning. You don't much sharper than a retina-level resolution. The human eye literally stops being able to perceive differences after a certain pixel density. Going higher only serves to waste your battery life, regardless of your affectations toward chasing resolution.

That is completely wrong. There is a clear difference between a 300ppi screen and a 400 ppi screen.

After 340-350 there's no difference until you take color vibrancy and brightness into account. Resolution beyond 1080p in a 5" phone is damn pointless.
