iPhone 6S Release Update: A New Pink Coloured Edition May Arrive This Year

A Wall Street Journal report has hinted that Apple is currently "testing" what could be a new colour option for its forthcoming generation of iPhones. It possibly will be named iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Thought the existing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus come in three sets of colours, that’s- gray, silver, and gold, it is expected that the fourth colour option might be pink.

On top of that, WSJ has also noted that Apple may not change the screen size on its next generation phones meaning they may come with 4.7 inch and 5.5-inch screen displays, respectively. Another rumor has it that the forthcoming iPhones will feature the Force Touch new technology, which Apple has used in its latest MacBook and Watch devices.

It is not the first time that we are hearing about the upcoming iPhones featuring much improved pressure sensor under their display. The Force Touch technology allows people to make use of hard presses to start different process. This technology makes it easy to differentiate light taps from the hard presses, which is a new feature that the current iPhones do not have.

According to Wall Street Journal, a mass production of iPhone 6s components may been set to begin in May something that raises a tip-off of Apple announcing its new Phones come September this year, as it has been their tradition in the previous years. Apple has a strategy of unveiling new technologies right in certain products then rolling such technologies to the rest of its line of products as it happened with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

When it first launched the iPhone back in 2007 with a multi touch, it did not take long before that technology was brought to the MacBooks. However, this time round, the opposite is happening because the Force Touch was first applied in Apple Watch and MacBook.
