Apple banishes ‘Bendgate’ with a slight change to the ‘iPhone 6s’

In keeping with the long-standing naming convention, we can also be fairly sure that these will be the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus.

A leaked video of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6S reveals that the tech giant is serious about putting the scandal involving the iPhone 6 known as “Bendgate” behind them.

Fiksu is reported to have confirmed that it only sees two new iPhones “identifiers” on its analytical data log, which exclusively refers to iPhone 6S and 6SPlus.

Of course, nobody has gotten their hands on the iPhone 6s yet, but the guys over at Unbox Therapy claim that they have obtained the backplate for the device and it portends some good news for iPhone lovers.

It’s important to keep updating the iPhone, keeping it new for existing customers as well as old, given it is the lifeblood of the company.

Hilsenteger was the man who subjected an iPhone 6 Plus to a bend test last year, which was eventually called “bendgate”. Apple was hit hard with criticism over its somewhat bendable flagship, particularly the iPhone 6 Plus but it seems that Cupertino has learned from the lesson well.

The new iPhone 6s shell is believed to use 7000 series anodized aluminum for material construction as opposed to the iPhone 6, which used 6000 series anodized aluminum.

No further details about the so-called iPhone 6C have been spilled.

This new phone uses tiny electrodes that are similar to the ones placed around the retina display on the Apple Watch.

Similarly, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly trying to bring Force Touch to simplify the steps of getting to the Music app, News app and other features on the iPhone. For instance, the iPhone 6 identifier is “iphone7,2” and the iPhone 6 Plus identifier is “iphone7,1”. Kuo also explained the Force Touch input. It may also come with an improved camera system.

A Redditor named “doctorkuddles” said that the 16GB phone his wife got on September 20 last year was “completely softer and smoother” and more “hollow” than the 128GB handset he bought in late October 2014.
