To address the problems that emerged with bendgate, Apple would have decided to “reinforce” the iPhone 6S chassis. However, there is also a second hypothesis regarding the use of new technology.
The weeks leading up to the release of a new smartphone model are always full of leaked details, hypotheses, and leaks.
So, while waiting for the world to get to know what is currently called the iPhone 6S, some details about the potential new features of the device are beginning to emerge.
These are rumors that Apple has not confirmed in any way, so they should be considered as such: only leaks and hearsay.
In particular, the Engadget Japan website published an article discussing the possible shape of the iPhone 6S casing. Rather than simply writing about it, they posted an image of what should be the technical drawings of the iPhone 6S.
From these, it would be possible to infer greater robustness of the device’s body, as the edges appear to be thicker compared to previous models.
According to Engadget Japan, therefore, this would be a sign that Apple is choosing the path of greater safety to avoid the unpleasantbendgate outcomes.
The second hypothesis put forward on the Japanese website is that this new device could be equipped with the new technology called “Force Touch”, already present on some Mac models and on the Apple Watch. This is a mechanism through which it is possible to apply pressure to the screen to issue certain commands.
Tendentially, Force Touch technology requires a thicker screen: for this reason, it has been hypothesized that the thicker casing could be a “sign” of the presence of a different display, useful for the aforementioned innovation.
Don’t expect significant differences easily visible at a quick, superficial glance: only a close comparison – with precise measurements in hand – will reveal any difference with an iPhone 6.
Indeed, if the iPhone 6 device has a thickness of 6.9 millimeters, according to the image reported by Engadget Japan, the future iPhone 6S would have a casing measuring 7.1 millimeters.
A truly negligible difference, but potentially useful both to prevent the device from bending and to facilitate the presence of Force Touch technology.
As already stated – and we reiterate it – these are only and exclusively unofficial leaks: to ascertain the reality of the facts, we will have to wait for the official launch of the device.
