As reported iPhone 6S to have Force Touch display and supercharged camera, In addition it will have Qualcomm's new LTE Chip that will provide 2x faster data speed and a new NFC chip and new chips that will be efficient or smaller in quantity and the base model will remain 16GB.

The prototype image received by 9to5mac and chipworks of iPhone 6S is compared with the existing iPhone 6's motherboard.

In new iPhone 6S's prototype logic board a new NFC chip is observed labelled 66VP2 from NXP compared to the older 66V10 NFC processor present in the current iPhone 6. There is no information about the capabilities of the new 66VP2 NFC chip, First NFC chip in iPhone was used in iPhone 6 in 2014 which was used for Apple pay and the chip was not modern but the spotted one seems to be the cutting edge one.

The size of the new logic board is observed to be smaller as Apple is reducing the quantity of chips, As the board that was previously consist of 10 components now consist only 3 components, while the size is reduced and efficiency is increased. Now upcoming iPhone will offer the similar faster performance but will possess less power consuming parts.

It seems that Apple will preserve a Cirrus Logic audio chip, a Murata Wi-Fi module, and wireless power amplifiers from RFMD, TriQuint, Avago and Skyworks within the iPhone 6S. Although the prototype includes what seems to be similar Bosch and InvenSense accelerometer and gyroscope parts to the iPhone 6, A tiny new alternative from STMicroelectronics could replace it on the final logic board, having launched in the Apple Watch.

In this age of world where data is so advanced and heavy also, thats why16GB model does not fulfil the requirements of the users. According to the chipworks the Toshiba Flash storage shown in the prototype is the same as present in the iPhone.Its still unclear that iPhone will have 16GB base model or larger, because in prototype they use as low storage as they can.

We have also received a report regarding the external design of the upcoming iPhone "S" model, The upcoming iPhone will be identical to the existing iPhone 6 with changes that are not visible to human eye and its been said that the most of the iPhone 6 accessories will support iPhone 6S. Report says that the iPhone 6S will be 0.2mm thicker than the iPhone 6S and chang will be such a minor that apple will not even change it in technical specs.

 And the iPhone also taller and wider than the iPhone 6, 0.16mm and 0.13mm respectivelya and these increases are due to the addition of Force Touch panel.
