Report: Apple Eyeing September Release Date For iPhone 6S

Apple Inc.AAPLVodafone Group PlcVODMobile NewsBGR stated that the September 25 release date is "certainly plausible" and follows similar September releases of the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. BGR continued that it is a "safe bet" that Apple's upcoming new iPhones will "shatter" all previous iPhone sales records. The publication noted a survey it conducted which concluded the number of iPhone users looking to upgrade their device is "larger than it's ever been before." The iPhone 6S will likely see some "compelling" new software and hardware features, including Force Touch functionality, 2GB of RAM, a more reliable Touch ID sensor, a 12 megapixel camera and perhaps even a "blazing fast" A9 processor. Finally, a September release date for the upgraded iPhone is consistent with KGI Securities' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo comments. The analyst speculated Apple will introduce a 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and a 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. The new devices are expected to enter mass-production in mid-August. Kuo echoed similar projections that the devices will support Force Touch gestures along with an improved Touch ID fingerprint sensor that should "help speed up" Apple Pay transactions.
