iPhone 6s and 6s Plus Rumors : Force Touch confirmed !

Recently, rumors began spreading out about the successors for the current iPhone offerings which should be called the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Well, Apple is still keeping their mouths shut whether the next iPhones will be called that way but as for their previous naming traditions, chances are high that indeed, the letter "s" will be added.

So back to the rumors, earlier speculators had already made their statements on what are the things to be expected on the new iPhones. First, let's talk about the game changing feature of the iPhone duos, the Force Touch Technology

What is Force Touch Technology ?

Force those who are wondering, Force Touch is a feature developed by Apple for any touch-sensitive device wherein every degree of touch has their own corresponding actions. It uses tiny electrodes within the digitizer that distinguishes every taps, touch and the hardness of your input, then the display will respond accordingly and will give you some specific actions depending on the degree of your touch.

So, besides having this kind of feature, the next iPhones are also rumored to pack a rather amusing 12MP snappers with OIS which is quite an upgrade if you ask me.

Talking about the display, both retained the screen sizes of the current iPhones at 4.7-inches and 5.5-inches respectively as well as the resolutions. What's new is that the displays are rumored to be ion-strengthened but the bigger one has a Sapphire Crystal glass protection.

Other rumored hardware include a new chipset, which is the Apple A9 one. No other words yet about the upcoming chipset but it's rumored to be partnered with 2GB of RAM for both iPhones.

Lastly, the rumored iOS 9 is said to make its debut upon the release of the new iPhones.
