Force Touch parts for the upcoming iPhone 6s said to have undergone mass production

The insider reports coming from Taiwanese publication DigiTimes says that the supplying partners of Apple have started with the mass-production of the Force Touch parts for the upcoming iPhones that are alleged to be the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. The rumors for the introduction of Force Touch in the upcoming iPhones have been floating since long and now they seemed to have gained some strong momentum. Apple has first used this Force Touch technology in the Apple Watch, which basically differentiates between a Press and a Touch.

One of the companies named TPK that is said to make Force Touch displays has allegedly announced that it would start the mass-production of these components in July. However, TPK refrained to name as the customer for this parts, but for the moment there is no other tech company than Apple who is expected to host this feature in its next flagship. Additionally, the report shows that nearly 36-40 million iPhones are expected to be manufactured in the September quarter, and the number could rise to 50million in the December quarter.  Note that these numbers are only based on estimates.

The rumors have claimed that the two upcoming iPhones will host a similar design to the existing iPhone 6, but with the faster A9 chipset, 2GB RAM, larger 12MP camera with RGBW pixels, 5MP front-facing camera. The material used for its built body is said to be a aluminum alloy. Apple is expected to unveil the handsets next month is September.

Cover body and insides of the Apple iPhone 6s leaks

This year we are quite expecting the Cupertino giant to unveil its iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus and currently the supply chain of the company has recently released out images that alleges to be the body and the interiors of the next-generation iPhone models. The interior reveals some of the mounting points which would be used for the motherboard. The earlier reports have claimed that Apple would be using a System in Package technology (SIP) along with a PCB for the next iPhone models. The use of SiP would save space that could allow Apple to have larger battery capacity.

Apple has recently filed an patent which makes the antenna lines look like a metal housing on the device, however these lines still appear on the images of this new housing similar to the one seen in the existing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The leaked images also reveal that Apple will not use the dual-camera sytem as rumored earlier. However, we can expect a bump in the rear camera to 12MP resolution from the 8MP one.

Both the iPhone 6s models are expected to be coming with ForceTouch feature that allows the user to interact with the screen differently based on different pressure levels. This feature has been currently used on the Apple Watch and can really prove to be a great sales driver even for the new iPhone models. Check out the leaked images below.
