Apple's iPhone 6s will reportedly add some new features including an upgrade to 2GB of RAM and possibly come with a pre-installed Apple SIM, according to AppleInsider.

A person familiar with Apple's future product plans, who has provided reliable information in the past, indicated to AppleInsider that the so-called "iPhone 6s," and presumably the Plus version as well, will in fact be upgraded to 2 gigabytes of RAM. Apple has used a single gigabyte of RAM in its iPhone lineup dating back to the iPhone 5, which launched in 2012.

This would follow approaches previous approach of upgrading the RAM in the iPad before updating the RAM in the iPhone. Last year the iPad Air 2 was update with 2GB of RAM.

The site's source also says that Apple is strongly considering shipping the next generation smartphone with an Apple SIM pre-installed. That SIM lets customers signup for mobile plans from any participating carrier right from the Settings app.

The Apple SIM gives you the flexibility to choose from a variety of short-term plans from select carriers in the U.S. and UK right on your iPad. So whenever you need it, you can choose the plan that works best for you — with no long-term commitments. And when you travel, you may also be able to choose a data plan from a local carrier for the duration of your trip.

It's unclear if Apple will be able to get carriers onboard with the Apple SIM for iPhone. Even with the iPad, Verizon would not participate. Carriers are likely concerned that Apple is trying to insert itself between carriers and their customers.

Apple is widely expected to release the iPhone 6s this fall. Previous rumors suggest the smartphone could be updated with the same Force Touch feature found in the Apple Watch.

Woots!!!! PPL get ready for your iPhone 4/5/6 to become sluggish/crash in the next iOS 9 update...... Pretty well obvious they rig each new version of iOS to only run decent in the latest iPhones and purposely bug down earlier iPhones as to force users to buy new iPhones every year.

Get ready to be proven wrong as older iphone from 3 years ago don't take what ultimate iOS versions can do on such outdated devices. Besides, newer iphone devices can survive more due to how much up to date they'll stay and support further iOS versions. Like 4s can live to ios 8, 5 can live up to twice amount of released versions up to like ios 10, and so forth. Not to mention price drops of the devices year after year even when it comes to Black Friday.

If apple force carriers to use apple sim they all should refuse to sell iPhones then see what happens

gamerscul9870 - March 4, 2015 at 10:02pm

Apple has been using carriers sim and not only one thereby using Apple sim will just add to the lineup up how many carriers get to sell the phone. (Except Apple uses a sim like a carrier if it happens.)

It takes a worshipper to know one because I'm not defending Samsung here.

Megapixels work the same way never sensors do thereby iphone 6 camera is just as good as any other out there. Not to mention how much memory you can save with less megapixels but it also depends on lens with how clear they are.

@bleedingazzhole who said anything about not wanting a better camera! I know a good one when the results are clear from critics as they say, because Apple charges the same price for iphone 6s unless extra size meaning more parts like companies always did. Samsheeps better believe it compared to their camera where they have more megapixels to take more memory but works as good iphone.

You guys need to chill out. Go buy yourself a Launchpad so that you can actually have real sex with your iPad....after all you love Apple products so much. Release all that tension that have been building up for so long!!!

Nothing new, battery is still a weak point of iPhone, 2GB RAM will not effect at all, Force touch will not be added to iPhone 6s, No pixel upgrade for camera, Sapphire glass is not coming to iPhone yet. New thing is the 6sPlus will not bend, their will be 4" size iPhone 6s, head phone are changed, Apple SIM will be optional.

It already is on the the 6plus...sapphire glass

gamerscul9870 - March 4, 2015 at 9:09pm

Nothing new? So no new chips or any improvements? Did past s models not mean anything. Sometimes Apple goes above and beyond than just improving from the last. Sure same megapixels, but the sensor is what makes a huge leap, hence it was mentioned the 6s will make the biggest camera upgrade ever, sapphire may come and change the way we destroy our phones on purpose or accident and not replace the screen again, and much more that will be new when it's not clearly done before. Just look at the fingerprint scanner on the 5s. Tell me that's not new!
