Rumors have it that the next iPhone will sport nearly the same design and build seen with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, suggesting that one can skip the 2016 refresh and wait out for the 2017 models. Or better yet, grab the jumbo iPhone 6S Plus now as an ongoing eBay deal shaves off the asking price to $799.
The eBay listing, with the seller boasting of 99+ percent positive feedback, offers the 5.5-inch 6S Plus in 64GB storage configuration and in unlocked state - that means the device will work with most network services in the United States and abroad. The purchase also includes one year of Apple warranty and will be delivered fast and free of charge.
As the normal price on Apple Store for the 64GB 6S Plus is $849, the eBay deal promises savings of $50. But the seller claims that the total discount amounts to $130, factoring in the sales tax in various states.
And the 6S Plus in question is a winner of a deal indeed with the mighty duo of iOS 9.3 and A9 mobile processor, supported by 2GB of RAM, running the show, alongside with the M9 co-processor. Many experts say that the 6S Plus' biggest selling point is the superior camera system - a combo of 12-megapixel on rear and 5-megapixel on front. The main shooter is hardware-equipped with optical image stabilization that enables the capture of images only in top-notch quality.
The iPhone 6S Plus is also laced with the latest generation of Touch ID fingerprint sensor that makes for a more robust security protocol when transacting online or wireless payments using the device. The mechanism is also significantly faster than the previous model, which permits split-second unlocking of the device.
All told, the iPhone 6S Plus deal on eBay is compelling enough that shoppers are strongly advised to hustle on their buy decision as stocks are limited. As of this writing, the seller notes that more than 70 percent of the inventory has been shipped out, indicating that units are flying out fast.
Getting the iPhone 6S Plus now with the reduced price shouldn't be something to regret about considering that the latest leaks on its sequel, rumored to be called as iPhone Pro, suggest that it has the same design schematics. Per 9to5Mac, the iPhone Pro unboxed is virtually identical with its immediate predecessor save for a number of revisions.
Speculations are rife that the iPhone Pro on release date will include a dual-camera system and a body-build that ditched the 3.5mm audio jack. In case these upgrades don't matter, then the iPhone 6S Plus is the way go.
