Apple iPhone 6s Rumors: May Come in Rose Color, an A9 Processor and 2GB of RAM
With the Apple iPhone 6 selling like hotcakes, Apple may be considering an update to their recent release. Initially called the iPhone 6s, the updated model of the iPhone 6 is rumored to have some major upgrades not only in terms of specifications but also in its design.
Details about the newest model of the iPhone were leaked via a research note from KGI Securities, which AppleInsider reportedly got a copy of. One notable upgrade is the possibility of having a rose gold variant of the phone. It is unclear whether this means that the phone will be made of actual rose gold, much like the luxury edition of the Apple Watch, or whether the phone will only come with material that mimics the color of rose gold. Adding this color variant will expand the choices of color available to potential buyers.
Although the note failed to provide some details, it also said that Apple is looking at a new design using different types of materials for the casing. This is apparently being done to address the bending issues that came out with the iPhone 6 Plus model. There is also a possibility that scratch-resistant sapphire covers may be utilized.

In terms of major upgrades, another Tech Times report cites an improvement in the Force Touch which offers a completely new way of inputting information into the device. This will open up a wider range of possibilities for the use of the iPhone.
The new iPhone 6s is rumored to be equipped with a better camera, one that is a 12 megapixels. The iPhone 6 only sports an 8 megapixel one, which fails in comparison to the cameras offered on newer smartphones of Samsung and other competitors.
Under the hood, the iPhone 6s will reportedly have an A9 processor and will run with 2 GB of RAM, although the other report says that Apple may stick with the 1 GB RAM option in the end.
Given the previous issues with Apple's fingerprint scanner in previous iterations of the iPhone, it is hoped that the iPhone 6s will offer a better and more improved version of the scanner. This will enable users to quickly and easily scan their fingerprints in order to get secure data and to authorize payments via the Apple Pay system. Because of earlier issues with the scanner, Apple Pay experienced a slow adoption rate, primarily because of security issues with the system.
