Apple is reportedly gearing up to take on Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 phablet by equipping its iPhone 6S with 2K display.
According to the new rumors, Apple is preparing to deliver upgraded specs in its upcoming iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus handsets, BGR has learned.
The new speculations regarding Apple's actions came from Chinese tech site Feng. The site noted that sources who claim to have inside information regarding the Cupertino-based firm's operations said that the company is planning on stepping up the resolution settings of its upcoming handsets.
For the iPhone 6S Plus, insiders said its 5.5-inch display will sport 2k resolution. This would seem as if Apple is trying to take on the 2560x1440 pixel resolution of Samsung Galaxy Note 4's 5.7-inch display.
The display of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6S, on the other hand, will offer full HD resolution.
Despite the claims of insiders, Ubergizmo noted that the display upgrades are still considered as rumors since Apple has not yet released an official statement regarding the specs of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
In addition, although going for a 2K display will put Apple ahead in the smartphone specs race, the tech news site noted that it might not be a favorable move for the company to upgrade the display settings of its upcoming handsets.
For one, there are still a number of app developers who have not yet fully tweaked the graphics quality of their applications to match the resolution settings of Apple's current flagship smartphones. If Apple proceeds with a 2K display, a lot of developers will get left behind.
As for the other specs of the two iPhone 6S models, both variants are expected to be powered by Apple's A9 processors. The two will also feature the Force Touch pressure-based system technology and will have a minimum of 32GB of internal storage.
Apple might also cover its newest devices a different type of metal alloy to avoid the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus' previous Bendgate problem.
