Apple Inc is set to announce the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in September, but it seems that Nowehereelse found their way into the company factory, giving audience the first peek of the latest from Apple.

Leaked photo showed that the iPhone 6s will have Force Touch integration - a feature earlier reported by Bloomberg in June.

For those unfamiliar with the technology, the Force Touch was unveiled by the company for the Apple Watch and for the latest MacBook model as an attempt to perfect pressure-sensitive displays.

Bloomberg reported that the feature lets users adjust the strength of their screen taps to pull out different functions.

However, Forbes said that there is a possible flaw with the Force Touch. According to the site, it requires direct access to the contact surface - the phone or Watch's touchpad - which could be troublesome as photos from NowhereElse show that the new iPhone 6S has a small access panel cut into the metal plate.

This metal plate was supposed to shield iPhone screens from direct contact with the internal phone components.

With that flaw in mind, Forbes asked the million-dollar question: is the Force Touch a revolutionary piece of technology, or is it just another needless complication?

If you're not sold on the Force Touch, here are other rumors about the iPhone 6S that may force you to get a second look at the upcoming models:

1) Apple will be adding 0.2 millimeters to the iPhone 6S, making it the second time in Apple history that they're making their phones thicker. According to 9 to 5 Mac, the increase in thickness could be the company's response following the controversial "bendgate", or even to give the new iPhone a larger battery.

However, it seems that this goes more with the Force Touch tech, as Engadget Japan said that 0.2 millimeters are needed to accommodate the said update.

2) There is also the possibility that the new iPhone will forgo the home button. DigiTimes claims that Apple is developing single-chip solutions to integrate touch and display drivers that could, theoretically lose the need of a phone's Home Button - a sensor embedded into the screen will take its place.

3) A new color may also be introduced. According to the Wall Street Journal, the latest iPhone could come in another color besides the current silver, gold, and space gray options.

Apple Insider thinks it will be a match with Apple Watch in rose gold, while other reports suggest it could be pink.

Do you think these rumors about the upcoming iPhones could be true?
