Leak: Apple is focusing on internal changes with the iPhone 6S

iPhone rumors are a dime a dozen, but leaks like what Nowhereelse published earlier today are much more valuable. The leak contains images of what’s claimed to be the unannounced iPhone 6S that give us a look at the changes that Apple will be making with this year’s iPhone. Since it’s the “S” version of the iPhone and not a full update, the iPhone 6S doesn’t differ much from the iPhone 6 in terms of design, but the internals have been changed up quite a bit. 

A series of parts for Apple’s alleged “iPhone 6s,” leaked on Thursday, appear to back claims that Apple is optimizing the internal design of its next iPhone while leaving the outside relatively unchanged. One of these is a unified flex cable connecting internal components like the rear camera, LED flash, and power and volume controls to the logic board, according to French site Nowhereelse. In the iPhone 6, Apple depends on two separate cables to achieve the same connections. Other parts indicate that the new phone’s rear camera will once again have a protruding exterior ring. That element has been a minor point of criticism with the iPhone 6, since it breaks with the flush design of past iPhones and prevents the device from laying perfectly flat. Apple also appears to be sticking with an identical home/Touch ID button design. A leaked part is coated in the same “champagne” gold option available to current iPhone shoppers, and matches the tone of a supposed shell for the iPhone 6s Plus.
