“The rumors are true – the battery capacity is down a bit, and we suspect the reduced battery size is to accommodate the Taptic Engine”, fix firm iFixit, which opened up an iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, said on its website. If you have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, you can trade it in for an iPhone 6s for only $5 monthly or an iPhone 6s Plus for only $10 monthly – both under a JUMP!
