    Get ready to bust out the cash because the iPhone 6S is coming and we know you’re itching to hop on board that train.

    Today sees a big iPhone event taking place in San Francisco (where else), with Apple expected to announce the 6S and the 6S Plus. Whilst some of the features are still shrouded in mystery TIME have put together six features they believe will be present in the new models. Let’s dive in and see what all the fuss is about:

    4K Camera

    The new iPhones will feature significantly improved cameras…The main rear-facing camera will be 12 megapixels and will be able to shoot video in high-resolution 4K. The front-facing camera will be 5 megapixels and shoot 1080p video. The front-facing camera is also expected to offer the ability for selfie panoramas, slow-motion video and flash for low-light environments.

    Improvements to their selfie-taking capabilities, that should come as a shock to absolutely no one at all.

    Pressure-Sensitive Touch Screen

    The updated iPhone screen will be able to tell the difference between a light tap, a standard press, and a hard press, and assign different functionality to each of those interactions within apps. In Maps, for example, a user might be able to look up a destination and then hard press it on the map to immediately launch turn-by-turn directions.

    Boosted Memory

    Multiple reports indicate that the new iPhones will boast 2GB of RAM, double the memory available on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Boosted RAM would allow the new phones to run more apps seamlessly without slowing down. The device will also feature the new A9 processor being built by Samsung and TSMC.

    Improved Download Speeds

    A new LTE chip developed by Qualcomm is expected to double the download speeds when customers are using data services…Such an improvement would make everything from visiting websites to downloading apps significantly faster when using wireless data service. The new chip is also expected to improve the iPhone’s battery life by being more power efficient than previous models.

    I kind of feel like improved battery life has been trotted out one too many times, we all know the scramble for the charger that comes with preparing to leave the house for a night out. Anyway we can always live in hope…

    Animated Wallpapers

    The lock screens on the phones are expected to offer special animated versions, featuring images such as koi fish swimming and smoke billowing in the air. To preserve battery life, the wallpapers are only expected to be available on the lock screen rather than the home screen.

    Hmm, when I’m staring through one eye at 3AM trying to order an Uber I really need an animated wallpaper to make the process easier. Does sound rather nifty though, let’s see number six then:

    16GB (and Up) of Storage

    Despite offering high-def video recording capability, Apple isn’t expected to boost the storage capacity of the iPhone line. Expect the baseline 6s model that costs $199 witih a contract to still have 16GB of on-board storage. 64GB and 128GB models are also expected to go on sale for $100 and $200 more than the basic iPhone.

    There you have it Apple lovers and haters, that’s what TIME reckons the new phones will have in store for us.

    The phone obviously won’t be hitting our shores any time soon but for now you can see HERE for all your other Apple goodies.
