A leaked email from Vodafone has given away the date the next iPhone will go on sale
The iPhone 6s' sale date has been given away in a leaked internal email from Vodafone.
The email reveals the newest handset will go on sale on September 25, with pre-orders being accepted from September 18.
The memo, seen by Mobile News, does not clarify the exact name of the model, called simply 'the new iPhone' rather than the iPhone 6s or iPhone 7, as predicted.
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are expected to be outwardly similar to the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities suggests that Apple could offer rose gold versions of the phones.
Internal upgrades are expected to include the “biggest camera jump ever”, according to blogger John Gruber, who describes a "weird two-lens system where the back camera uses two lenses and it somehow takes it up into DSLR quality imagery.”.
Another likely feature is wireless charging. This has already been announced as part of the Apple Watch so it's likely that it'll be rolled-out to phones as well.
Sapphire glass - a scratch resistant material used in screens - is another likely feature. It was widely slated for an appearance on the iPhone 6 but manufacturing problems reportedly got in the way.
There could also be a new processor - the A9 - produced by Samsung. It will be smaller, faster and use less power. The current A8 series use a 20nm process and the new ones would use 14nm.
The Taptic Engine and Force Touch from the new MacBook and Apple Watch are rumoured to be making an appearance on the new iPhone, giving users new ways of interacting with their handset.
