Firstly, developer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hamzasood\/status\/636668811932995584\">Hamza Sood<\/a> found an interesting snippet in the iOS 9 source code which includes &#8220;_enableDeepPress&#8221; as a function name. From his tweet, it appears Apple is testing trackpad gestures activated by Force Touch, the &#8220;deep press&#8221; that debuted on the Apple Watch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Some force touch code in iOS.

The packaging appears to show a golden koi, alongside the expected iPhone 6S Plus moniker. The koi is one of several animated wallpapers that Apple is set to include in the new version of iOS; some basic examples have already surfaced in the iOS 9 public beta.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a possible fake, but packaging leaks have been accurate before and it&#8217;s worth mentioning. The article also mentions a battery size decrease, with the new Plus model moving from 2910 to 2750mAh; battery life will still likely remain at its current levels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1839e0c5dd3413e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43178 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1839e0c5dd3413e-e1440676931945.jpg\" alt=\"1839e0c5dd3413e\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1839e0c5dd3413e-e1440676931945.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1839e0c5dd3413e-e1440676931945-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1839e0c5dd3413e-e1440676931945-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our final bit of information comes from reputed sources in Apple&#8217;s supply chain speaking to\u00a0<em>Business Insider<\/em>.
