While experts doubt that Apple would reach record iPhone 6s sales number, the company is sure that the pre-orders are on track and could really beat the record set by iPhone 6 sales a year ago. The ‘fruit’ giant mentioned in conversations with reporters that the iPhone 6s pre order numbers are currently ‘on pace’ to set the new 2015 record.

A year ago the still popular iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models sales reached 10 million unit that were sold during the first weekend the gadgets went on sale. Can the company reach higher iPhone 6s pre order number or sales this year?

The Cupertino-based company assures that its new ‘s’ models are pretty popular and consumers response to the two new versions in a positive way. In other words, pre-orders continue and more U.S. users will soon get the next generation 2015 iPhone 6s or 6s Plus in hands.

The demand is strong across the globe, Apple notes. The ‘fruit’ giant believes the 2014 record of 10 million iPhone sold on the first weekend after official release date will be beaten by iPhone 6s and 6s Plus sales that are to be official starting on September 25, 2015.

Besides Apple notes extremely high online demand for iPhone 6s Plus that exceedes the forecasts made by the ‘fruit’ firm for pre-orders [learn how to sell your old iPhone to get money on the newest model]. This could also mean that the 6s Plus model might run out of stock as soon as official sales start because we’ve heard rumors that there are problems with this device’s module production that could also cause the soon shortage.

Customers who wanted to buy iPhone 6 / 6 Plus in 2014 loved the upgrade because of its new design and bigger displays. This year the popular smartphones get a lot of new features and technologies that can also interest consumers from across the world.

Apple is taking pre orders for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. At the same time analysts report the new iPhone 6s Plus problems that could affect the supply for September and October. The Cupertino-based giant should release the two new smartphone models on September 25, 2015.

The iPhone 6s Plus production issue is believed to happen to backlight module. This could lead to limited amounts of this particular version this month. Such an opinion was voiced by famous expert Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities company.

iPhone 6s Plus backlight module is produced by Minebea from Japan. Apple will absolutely find a way how to fix the issue however it might take time and thus supply problems could exist at the beginning of iPhone ‘s’ lineup sales.

Will there be short supply of iPhone 6s Plus? Apple doesn’t comment on the issue so we’ll have to wait for September 25 and see how quickly the company will run out of the new handset. It is possible to pre order iPhone 6s and 6s Plus from Apple now and get it shipped later on.

The well-known ‘fruit’ giant could order more backlight modules from Radiant supplier and get more smartphones in time for the public launch.

You’ll still notice that the shipping date for your iPhone 6s Plus is slipping to 2-3 weeks. Is it high demand? Some customers think it is the popularity of the 2015 models – but according to Kuo, the reason is supply issues Apple experiences with Minebea company.

Are you planning to purchase the new iOS 9 iPhone 6s Plus or 6s model this year? There were rumors about lower sales of the ‘s’ lineup this year but Apple keeps saying that the demand is high and the company could even bean the opening 2014 weekend record of 10 million units iPhone 6 Plus / 6 sold with iPhone 6s Plus / iPhone 6s sales in 2015.

While a number of customers is searching for iPhone 6s 16GB price in India, U.S. and other countries, other potential consumers think that Apple is making a strategic mistake by releasing this particular smartphone model in 2015 [here are some tips for selling old iPhone 6 and 6 Plus before getting the most recent iPhone 6s / 6s Plus versions].

You’ll be able to purchase iPhone 6s 16GB gold, space gray, silver and pink gold version in the end of September. Still analysts, consumers and experts don’t understand why the famous Cupertino-based giant is bringing this particular model to the market. Both iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will be offered in three storage space capacity: 16GB, 64GB and 128GB.

Surely, iPhone 6s 16GB price will be lower compared to the 64GB / 128GB versions but the new gadgets will get quicker WiFi connections, improved cameras that make 4K video shooting possible, 3D Touch technology and other interesting features that require much space.

It’s a big disappointment to millions of users to see iPhone 6s 16GB model as it is impossible to add extra storage space to Apple phones like it happens with other smartphones. You can surely store some of your files on iCloud however it might not be the most comfortable solution.

Before Apple unveiled its 9th generation phones on September 9, 2015 there were rumors that the company would drop the 16GB version and offer 32GB model instead. Nope, this never happened and you’ll see the lowest storage space [basic phone] in the market this year.

If you are still planning to buy iPhone 6s 16GB in India or other country, you might definitely want to get the locked model at the lowest price possible [$199 or around it] and order affordable factory SIM unlock for iOS 9 iPhone 6s from your network. This will be way cheaper than paying up to $650 for the unlocked version.

Apple might offer more storage space the next year if iPhone 6s 16GB sales are too low. Those of you who want to use Live Photos option or record 4k videos should not purchase the base model. You’ll need the 64GB or even 128GB iPhone since the 1-minute 4K video takes nearly 400MB of space.

Just like recent rumors mention, the iPhone 6s battery capacity would most likely upset a lot of Apple fans. The company officially confirms what battery has iPhone 6s this year. The official introduction of the upcoming smartphone lineup was held on September 9th. The Cupertino-based giant talked about different projects and revealed the new battery in the special 3D Touch video.

According to the famous iOS creator, its battery capacity of iPhone 6s is 1715mAh. Apple said nothing directly about this detail however the 3D Touch video it created points to the battery smaller capacity. If you were watching ‘Hey Siri’ event this Wednesday you might have also seen the video with the new ‘s’ handset feature 3D Touch that uses the Force Touch technology. This very same video also gives you a glimpse at the upcoming battery.

It is sad that Apple decided to decrease the battery capacity by 95mAh. The previous generation iPhone 6 can boast the 1810mAh battery while the newest iPhone 6s that should be more powerful as it gets more features also gets the 1715mAh battery.

Does Apple also decrease the battery capacity of iPhone 6s Plus? According to previous rumors and suggestions, this model should get 2750mAh battery while the iPhone 6 Plus boasts the 2910mAh one. You can see that this decrease is even bigger than on the iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6s phones.

Would you be ok with getting a brand new gadget from Apple with 3D Touch and smaller battery or not? Hopefully such changes [they can be explained by the new 3D Touch chip and Taptic Engine that are both included in the smartphones 2015] won’t affect the battery life and won’t make it die faster.

How thick is iPhone 7 compared to the upcoming iPhone 6s and iPod touch? Apple at first was rumored to release iPhone 7 this September however later experts started to call the upcoming generation models iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The new reports and predictions suggest the famous Cupertino company will unveil the next iPhone 7 after iPhone 6s launch.

Of course, users wonder how thin is iPhone 7 compared to the long-awaited ‘S’ lineup and current iPod touch versions. According to Ming Chi-Kuo who is a well-known analyst at KGI Securities, the future iOS smartphone will be even thinner than iPhone 6s which is also believed to be pretty thin. It should to be close to the iPod touch in its thickness and this is really-really thin.

Let’s imagine the thickness of the iPhone 7 in figures. Rumors suggest that Apple will make its future gen models around 6.0-6.5 mm thick. You can compare this to the iPod touch thickness which is 6.1 mm and iPhone 6 / 6 Plus that are 6.9 mm / 7.1 mm thick – and you will realize the upcoming changes.

Remember that the iPhone giant is bringing the new technology to its phones. The Force Touch option is expected to be present in both iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 and even with this additional feature built-in by Apple – the company still wants to make its handsets pretty thin. The release of the iPhone 7 is believed to take place in 2016.

We don’t know that much about the future 2016 iPhone model. It’s curious that Chi-Kuo voices new predictions even before the iPhone 6s was officially unveiled by Apple. The Company is presenting the 2015 versions this week, on September 9th. We’ll soon learn everything about the iDevice that is launched this fall and might be a wonderful gift for Christmas 2015. As for the iPhone 7, we’ll most likely hear more about it during 2016.

Siri emergency call service can be very important for iPhone 6 and future iPhone 6S users. Sometimes your battery is dead or you have no service available – you can still use Siri and make it place the call for you. You just need to find any charging source and connect to it to use your Apple smartphone and make it come to your rescue.

You’ll need to activate your personal assistant with ‘Hey Siri’ option. There is no need to hold the handset in your hands. However remember to plug it into your car or somewhere else since without power your gadget will not work unfortunately.

How to Call Emergency Services on iPhone

Step 1. Hold down your Home button if you have the gadget in your hands to activate Siri. If the Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint iPhone is near you, use “Hey Siri” option to do the same thing.

Step 2. Use one of the phrases below in order to call your emergency service:

*Call the Police or Call the Cops will make Siri dial the Police for you

*Phone 911 or Call 911 will make your smartphone dial the emergency line if you are in the U.S. now

*Call Emergency Services or Phone Emergency Services will also make Siri dial the special lines for you depending on what country are you in at the moment

If you don’t know the emergency line phone number you can always say ‘Dial 911’ and Apple’s assistant should find the correct contact and dial it for you. Remember that all these services require you being connected to cellular network.

You can always cancel your phone call within the next 5 seconds. But don’t place such calls without need. They should only be used in emergency situations.
