With its upcoming release, diehard Apple fans can't wait to get their hands on the upcoming iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 or commonly known as the iPhone 6s Plus.

However, regardless of how Apple builds the looming devices, there are some critics who are challenging Apple that their next flagship devices offer nothing new and basically a rip off of the 2014 released iPhones.

First off, what is something new that the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 or the iPhone 6s Plus will offer from what the previous Apple phablet have offered. Mac World pointed out that Apple CEO Tim Cook will most probably tout the yet to be released iPhones will be the slimmest ever, but according to them, it is basically the same. There are some dimensions that were tweaked which make the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 slimmer.

Another improvement that the Apple dedicated website cited was the batteries, with the iOS 9, which was dubbed as the saving grace of the iPhones, it will surely optimize the device and give it extra battery life but it won't be a world changer since the upgrade was so minimal.

Telegraph also reported that the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 will be officially on sale by September 25, but pre-orders will be accommodated as early as the 18thThe dates specified coincides with Apple's trend which the Cupertino-based has been following since 2011.

In relation to the looming release, the news website also cited that Apple has been pounding their suppliers to produce around 85 to 90 million units to accommodate the clamor of the buying public. The numbers presented is around 5 to 10 million more compared to last year. On the other hand, there are some doubters and claims that Apple's iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 will be a failure this time.

An online news journal, The Week, noted that a security risk firm predicted that Apple will fall short this year and their iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 will be a major flop because of 2 things, first, China's 2015 economy and second, the Force Touch Technology.

In 2014, the majority of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus buyers are from China and with the country's current economic state; it will be hard for Chinese buyers to prioritize a device over necessity.

Second, was the Apple's biggest selling point, the Force Touch Technology, although the technology is promising enough to get the buyers interest, experts claims that it is not enough to make people buy the device, considering that other than that and the processor, nothing is new with the device.

Nonetheless, Apple has been in the same situation and they have proved the doubters every single time. With their iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 releases, Apple will have again the opportunity to prove the doubters wrong, possibly.
