iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 6 Plus: 5 Things to Know in May

Improved Camera

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus come with 8MP cameras that are among the best smartphone cameras on the market. Having a solid camera is important to most smartphone users, Apple knows that, and that's why the company upgrades its iPhone camera every year. 

This year, being the iPhone "S" year that it is, we could see the camera become one of the device's biggest selling points as Apple looks to encourage people to shell out for its new models. 

Multiple reports suggest that the iPhone 6s camera will feature a new 12MP sensor. Apple's iPhone 6 includes a 8MP sensor and the iPhone 6 Plus uses the same sensor but adds optical image stabilization.

Ming-Chi Kuo reiterates the 12MP sensor in the iPhone 6s and GforGames reports that Kevin Wang, IHS Technology Research Director in China says the iPhone 6s will use a 12MP sensor with smaller pixels. So does a new report from Feng. And then there's this. 

The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple acquired LinX, an Israeli Camera technology company that develops cameras for smartphones. While there are some cool features that this tech can bring out in the iPhone 6s camera, the really exciting part is that it could dramatically improve the quality of iPhone photos.

LinX previously described the camera technology as enabling better low light performance, faster exposure. It also said that it can deliver the same image quality as a big DSLR camera.

All signs point to an improved camera so if you're not thrilled with what the iPhone 6 Plus offers right now, you should consider waiting.
