Following a
report yesterday that the next-generation "iPhone 6s" will appear essentially identical to the current lineup of iPhones
With a few mi**r internal differences, an unnamed source has shared new photos of logic board from the device
With 9to5Mac, revealing an updated
Qualcomm LTE chip offering
Faster LTE
Speeds and greater energy efficiency.
Specifically, the next iPhone will carry a
Qualcomm MDM9635M chip -- also referred to as the "9X35" Gobi
Modem platform -- and it aims to give the iPhone 6s a significant increase in performance over the current 9X25 used in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
For everyday users, this gives the potential for significant increases in LTE network performance
With Download Speeds of up to 300 Mbps, twice that of the current iPhone line. Real-world limitations of carrier
Support will, however, limit those speed improvements in many cases.
The new
Qualcomm chip, which was an**unced in 2013 and came to market last year, is also more power efficient. This power efficiency combined
With the possibility of a slimmer motherboard could give the iPhone 6s some improvement in battery life this year.
As
shared yesterday, the iPhone 6s will appear nearly identical to the iPhone 6, which is typical for Apple's "S" generation iPhones. Apple will, however, be including a number of enhancements for the device, from the
Faster LTE
Modem to a
Force Touch display and perhaps the "
biggest camera jump ever."
