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

An image claiming to show the retail box for Apple's anticipated "iPhone 6s" could give fans their first glimpse at the new rose gold color option that is rumored to become part of the product lineup.

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.
