“Following our look at a partially functioning “iPhone 6s” built from parts earlier this week, we’re now getting some more details on the iPhone 6s display assembly itself,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.
“While the part has been seen in a few leaks over the past several weeks, a source has now provided us with some new information and high-quality photos of the part,” Slivka reports. “Numerous rumors have pointed toward the iPhone 6s including support for Force Touch.”
“There are some tantalizing differences from the corresponding iPhone 6 part,” Slivka reports. “The first is a small rectangular chip visible on the rear of the display. It has been seen in all leaked parts seen so far, and its function remains unconfirmed, but our source suspects it is indeed related to Force Touch… Our source also says the iPhone 6s display panel is slightly thicker than the iPhone 6 panel, a change that may be related to Force Touch support and contributing to the reported 0.2 mm increase in overall thickness for the device. ”

Time to retire my 5S.
Which means I’m way past the time to retire my 5!
What about me? I have a 4S.
You’re way, way past the time. 😉
Seriously, though… My wife just upgraded from her 4s to a 6 in May. It was getting pretty slow, but still totally usable. You’re not that far off.
SC
4S will still run iOS 9.😃
