Rumor mills are continuously grinding information about Apple's newest iPhone iteration. While most reports claim that the upcoming device from the Cupertino tech company will be the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, a brand new intel defies all established beliefs about Apple's plans, asserting that the flagship will be called iPhone Air.
Citing an unidentified source, IBN Live is claiming that the tech world will refer to the new Apple product not as iPhone 6s or 6s Plus but as iPhone Air, owing to its supposed ultra-thin and featherweight physique, making it a compact version of the iPad Air 2.
The report claims that the new iPhone will come with a 4.7-inch Retina edge-to-edge display with very slim bezels. If this radical design is what's keeping Apple busy, the so-called iPhone Air will be the first from the company to sport mega slim bezels.
Also, it might not feature a physical home button and will have a 10-megapixel rear-facing camera with f/2.2 aperture as well as a 2800 mAh battery. Of course, with no official word from Apple, this remains unfounded.
In other related reports, the new Apple smartphones being addressed as the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will reportedly drop the 16 GB flavor. A report by Made in China Gadget, who got the scoop from an undisclosed source from manufacturer Foxconn, claims that there are no 16 GB stickers. The mystery insider added that there are only stickers for models at 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB, which means that Apple will be making the 32 GB version the base variant of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
This aspect, interestingly, has long been debated ever since Apple Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller told Daring Fireball that the 16 GB iPhone models are here to stay, adding that the iCloud should provide the rest of the storage needs of users.
"The belief is more and more as we use iCloud services for documents and our photos and videos and music, that perhaps the most price-conscious customers are able to live in an environment where they don't need lots of local storage because these services are lightening the load," Schiller said.
