Whoa, it seems like the iPhone 6 was released just yesterday, however reports are circling that the iPhone 6S and 7 are arriving soon.
Fans may anticipate a September release, since that has been the repeated trend for the last couple of years. As The Telegraph recalls, Apple fans received the iPhone 5 in September 2012, followed by the iPhone 5S and 5C in September 2013.
TechRadar reports camera sensors have already been ordered by Sony for the iPhone 6C, which is also rumored to be dropped with the launch of the 6S.
The tech site also shares photos of what is rumored to be the iPhone 6S, which comes off the production line in China.
Although the latest model appears to have the same external, the website claims there could be slight and subtle changes to the cellular device: "However while it might have the same dimensions, a patent suggests there's a possibility that it could lose those plastic strips we know and hate."
The body of the phone may also have some modifications to its weight. "The iPhone 6S / iPhone 7 might feature the lightweight and strong Series 7000 aluminium alloy it uses on the Apple Watch Sport," TechRadar suggests, while stressing the iPhone 6S "could be putting on weight too. It will be 0.2mm thicker and 0.15mm taller than the iPhone 6, which could mean the camera lens will no longer protrude from the back."
Siri is expected to receive an upgrade. According to The Telegraph, the voice-activated command system should become "more proactive in recognizing your behavior," in addition to the mobile itself sustaining "longer battery life" and improving existing applications like Maps and Notes. "The new News app aims to provide an experience akin to reading a magazine, with big glossy visuals," the publication adds.
As announced at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference in June, the new model will run on the latest version of Apple software, iOS9.
Typical to years past, the launch is expected to be made during a keynote speech by Apple's chief executive Tim Cook, along with senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller and senior vice president of Internet software and services Eddy Cue.
