Apple sticking to its guns. The 4.7-inch model of the iPhone 6S looks like it will remain largely similar in shape and size to the current model, according to a fresh leak.
A source “familiar with Apple’s supply chain” has provided 9to5Mac with the clearest images of the iPhone 6S yet. What’s immediately obvious is that the 6S will maintain the same frame as the iPhone 6, contradicting rumours of a dual-camera setup.
But this leak only relates to the 4.7-inch device, there’s nothing on the larger 5.5-inch iPhone, so other – more major – changes could be saved for Apple’s phablet. But don’t count on it, the 5.5-inch, just as its smaller sibling, will likely also be an incremental upgrade too.
So, what does this leak reveal about the next iPhone? It’s practicaly identical to the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in shape and design. From the rear-camera placement, to the speaker and headphone-jack arrangement on the bottom of the device, there’s no visible exterior change I can see from the photos provided.

The source wasn’t forthcoming with exact dimensions, but they did say that any possible differences are “too minimal to notice”, as 9to5Mac puts it. This, I imagine, is good news for case-makers (and case-owners looking to upgrade) who can breathe a sigh of relief that they won’t have to hurriedly put together a new batch of size-adjusted accessories.
How, then, do we know that this is a leak of the upcoming iPhone 6S and not just a picture of the current Apple flasgship? 9to5Mac points out that the leak reveals slightly different mounting points (below) for the new logic board.
