iPhone 6S Plus Rumored to Have 2K Display With iPhone 6S at 1080p

Rumors have emerged the upcoming Apple flagship phone will flaunt a 1080p display with its high-end version sporting a 2K screen panel.

Rumors surrounding the September unveiling of the iPhone 6S and the 6S Plus have pegged them as featuring a 1080p and 2K display, respectively.

According to Feng, a Chinese technology blog, Apple is planning to go head-to-head with its competition, Samsung and LG, in terms of specifications, and it is starting with the screen resolutions of its soon-to-be launched flagship handsets.

The iPhone 6S is expected to have a full HD panel in its 4.7-inch display, while the 6S Plus will carry a 2K or Quad HD display in a 5.5-inch screen to compete with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, as well as the LG G3 and G4.

With Apple's current models coming with 1334 x 750 and 1920 x 1080 resolutions out of the box, the new handsets will have a higher pixel advantage if the new display rumors are proven true.

However, iPhoneHacks.com expressed its skepticism over reports Apple intends to go toe-to-toe with its rivals, specifications wise, when it has historically never done so. While the Cupertino tech giant was the first company to introduce Retina display when it released iPhone 4 in June 2010, which has led its competitors to deliver even sharper screens, Apple has showed no indication of wanting to keep up.

Based on this presumption, if Apple believes their iPhone displays are competitive enough, they aren't likely to push in additional pixels, especially not if doing so may negatively impact the phone's battery life.

While Apple may still end up upgrading the resolution of their upcoming phone line-up, they may likely put more emphasis on a faster processing chip, performance, and user experience, instead of producing a spec-bloated product.
