Alleged 'iPhone 6s' boxes claim to show new rose gold color, 16GB entry-level storage

Dutch website Techtastic received images of the box, matching up with an earlier leak, but in somewhat higher resolution. The site claims the box shows a new rose gold iPhone shade, though it is difficult to tell given that the damaged product packaging primarily shows the white glass front of the handset.

As with the previous leak, the iPhone is shown displaying a black Betta with mustard yellow fins. The striking image is not in line with Apple's usual feature-forward marketing materials, nor is it found in current iOS 9 betas, but it could signal that motion wallpapers could make their way from the Apple Watch to the "iPhone 6s."

To showcase the contrast of the Apple Watch's OLED display, Apple has included optional moving watch faces including a fluttering butterfly, a swimming jellyfish, and a blooming flower. Each time a user raises their wrist, they are shown a different species, color and movement.

Apple's moving watch faces were captured with high-resolution photography, using an intensive process that sometimes required more than a week to obtain a single usable image.

Separately, Steve Hemmerstoffer posted to Twitter this week with a packaging sticker claiming to show contents for the "iPhone 6s" box. In addition to including the anticipated product name, it also shows an entry-level capacity of 16 gigabytes, which would be in line with last year's iPhone 6 series.

Unsurprisingly, the English-language label suggests the "iPhone 6s" will ship with Apple's EarPods, a Lightning to USB cable and USB power adapter. The boilerplate text also details the device supporting CDMA, GSM, UMTS, TD-SCDMA, and LTE (FDD and TD) cellular technologies, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS.

None of the packaging makes mention of Force Touch, which is expected to be one of the biggest upgrades to the next-generation iPhone. Apple already offers the pressure-sensitive input method on its Apple Watch and latest MacBooks.

Apple is also expected to offer a new rose gold color option, joining the current yellow gold, white, and space grey designs. And the "iPhone 6s" is expected to be encased in stiffer 7000 series aluminum, which is already at use in the Apple Watch.

Other internal improvements expected include 2 gigabytes of RAM, a faster "A9" processor, and improved cameras.

It's also likely that the 4.7-inch model will keep the same pricing and capacity structure as the current iPhone 6, starting at $199 on contract for 16 gigabytes up to $399 for 128 gigabytes, while the jumbo-sized "iPhone 6s Plus" would start at $299. Both devices are expected to have essentially the same external design as the current iPhone 6 series.

All will be revealed at Apple's event on Wednesday, which kicks off in San Francisco at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern. AppleInsider will be there with full, live coverage of the announcements.
