However, SK’s annual sales have risen 68.5% between 2012 (the year Apple started bumping up its orders) and 2014 – so Samsung’s return to the iPhone might throttle that growth. The iPhone now brings over 70 percent of the company’s revenue and the most interesting fact is that sales continue to remain very strong.

Apple’s argument for keeping storage on the iPhone low versus the competition is that a lot of people can store stuff online instead of directly on the phone. Rumors point to the next iPhone being 0.2mm fatter than the iPhone 6, and that move could be inspired by the need to include Force Touch on the new iPhone. Force Touch could let us do things like instantly clear all notifications, select and then copy/paste text, reply to messages, fast-forward within a song, perform app-specific commands, and more with a single hard press instead of a long press, careful manipulation of a slider, or digging through menus.
Last week a leaked image allegedly showcasing iPhone 6s’ motherboard revealed the presence of a Qualcomm MDM9635M modem (image below), and now China Mobile seems to have indirectly confirmed that the iPhone 6s will indeed support download speeds of up to 300 Mbps. However, the maximum upload speed will peak at 50Mbps. But its also expected to have some drawbacks, one of which will be increased thickness, as pointed out by an earlier iPhone 6S duo case leak as well. However, they do show changes to the iPhone 6s that many previous rumors have claimed would be coming. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, as it stands are extremely quick devices, so building on that should yield impressive results. Well, the iPhone 6s will look largely the same externally as the iPhone 6 does today.
BGR cited Engadget Japan in a report that notes how the new iPhone would be sporting a 7.1mm thick body. (NASDAQ:AAPL) could make the iPhone 6S bulkier than the iPhone 6. In addition, the bigger resolution should allow selfies to be more defined and appear less pixelated when seen in larger screens like in iPads and computers.
For starters, a much improved rear and front-facing camera is expected on the device. For instance, users will now be able to capture themselves during a game of football with the entire stadium in the background.
According to few other rumors, Apple is planning to ditch the physical finger scan button in the upcoming iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
