Google is expected to deliver two monster phones very soon as part of its Nexus 2015 release date plans and packed with the devices are superior components that make them the Android smartphone to beat this year. But a new report is saying that once again, Apple's iPhone 6S will trounce the upcoming Nexus flagship phones.
From Europe, blog site Tech Tastic obtained a document that appears to reveal key specifications of both the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. The new information seems to indicate that Apple is bumping up big time the insides of the next iPhone, the component upgrades sufficient enough to overwhelm chief rivals such as Google's Nexus 2015 and Samsung's Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5.
14nm A9 application processor
The Tech Tastic report, picked up by BGR, is saying that Apple will indeed use the latest A9 processing chip with its latest batch of iOS devices with the 6S and 6S Plus first to show of the CPU's impressive capabilities. The same report echoed the earlier claims that Samsung or TSMC will use 14-nanometer architecture in forging the chip that will further improve on the mobile power it injects to a device.
A9 is also seen as more energy efficient than the A8 chip that came before it and as a testament a GeekBench benchmark result was provided with the leaked details. The testing showed that upcoming new iPhones easily outpaced the iPad Air 2, which runs on A8X chip.
RAM upgrade
Tech Tastic also revealed that top-speed of the tri-core A9 processor is 1.5GHz and to maximize such might Apple is including up to 2GB of RAM, belying earlier rumors that the next iPhone is stuck to 1GB of RAM for now.
If true, the 6S appears fully equipped to defeat the competition even as most of the latest Android flagships are rocking or will rock up to 4GB of RAM. But the iPhone's advantage is the perceived tight integration of its hardware and software or how iOS makes better and efficient use of the mobile components it powers.
Previous iPhone models have tussled with better-specced Android devices but the former always deliver the more optimized smartphone experience. The new report indicates that the new iOS 9-powered iPhones will mostly sustain on the same trend.
Apple is scheduled to hold a briefing on September 9, an event that analysts said will be the precursor to the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus release date in the immediate weeks to follow.
