Apple to launch three iPhones this year: Report

It’s only March but we’re already seeing the rumour mill churn out news related to this year’s iPhone(s).
According to a report by Digitimes, Apple will launch three different iPhones – iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and a 4-inch screen-equipped device which is currently being referred to as iPhone 6C. The report cites industry insiders as the source to inform that Apple is likely to partner Wistron to assemble the iPhone 6C while the 6S phones will be made by Foxconn and Pegatron.
Further, it adds that the phones will come with Corning Gorilla Glass, the iPhone 6S/6S Plus will be powered by Apple’s new A9 chips and the iPhone 6C will feature the A8 chip. All new iPhones will have NFC connectivity and fingerprint scanning capability.
Apple may also use new camera technology embedding an advanced three-sensor based camera module within the iPhone. The company was recently granted a patent for a “Digital camera with light splitter.”
According to another report citing supply chain sources by Taiwanese website UDN, Apple will use a two-lens system in the camera of the next-generation iPhone. The dual lens setup will help the iPhone capture more light, resulting in better photos. It will also add optical zoom capability to the camera, which also gives better photos compared to cameras with digital zoom.
The report also said that Apple will use its Force Touch technology in the upcoming iPhones. This technology, already being used in Apple Watch, will allow the touchscreen distinguish between light taps and long presses, thus allowing the users to interact with their iPhones in several new ways. Moreover, the touch sensors said to be used in the new iPhones can determine the users’ blood pressure and pulse more accurately.
