Apple is reportedly unveiling the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus on September but the devices' release date will actually happen a few days after, likely on September 18, a new report said. The tech giant will also begin accepting preorders September 11.
Blog site IT Home picked up a news report from Japan that indicates the next iPhone will start selling in stores third Friday of September or over a week after the flagship was introduced by Apple. The same goes for German market where the handset will be carried by the country's dominant telco, Deutsche Telekom.
The report was supported by Apple's previous release moves, which include Japan and Germany as among the first major destinations for new Apple model. The United States and China are also expected to be part of the first wave of iPhone 6S and 6S Plus global rollout.
It is reported too that Apple intends to deliver the next iPhone as quick as possible as a number of European and Asian countries are scheduled to get hold of the new device one week after its commercial debut in North America. The Netherlands, BGR said, will have the iPhone 6 sequel starting September 26.
And what Apple fans from these mentioned markets will get is an iPhone 6S that is slimmer than the last year's build. G4Games said in a report that for the next-generation iPhone, Apple switched from the traditional Printed Board Circuit (PCB) to SiP that allows the vertical stacking of key inside components - the processing chip, RAM and sensors for instance. As a result, iPhone engineers gain more inside of the device.
With the extra space, Apple can upsize the iPhone 6S battery for more energy juice or trim down the device thickness. Or both, the same report added.
So the likelihood is, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus on release date will reflect the same design philosophy that Apple has employed with the iPhone 6 last year but with a thinner profile and more powerful battery.
