In less than two weeks from now, Apple will be unveiling the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at the Bill Graham Civic Bell Auditorium. Despite being a long time Android user, I whole heartedly agree to the fact that the iPhone is easily the most ‘perfect’ smartphone in the market. 

With almost all Android smartphones disappointing in one or the other key areas, I am now really looking forward to the iPhone 6s (and iPhone 6s Plus). Like almost every other person who follows the tech industry out there, there are certain features that I hope Apple adds in the upcoming iPhones. What are they? Read below to find out.

#5 Better camera

iPhones have always been known for their camera performance and are widely regarded as having the best cameras found in a smartphone. Despite numerous claims, Samsung and other Android OEMS have always remained a step or two behind Apple in terms of camera performance.

However, with their flagship handsets this year, Android OEMs have made great improvements in the camera department. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4 offer a camera experience that is even better than that of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The difference in camera performance between the latest gen Android flagships  and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is especially visible in low light, where the latter struggles to capture usable images without introducing a lot of grain.

If leaks are anything to go by, the iPhone 6s will come with a 12MP rear camera that will also be capable of recording videos in 4K resolution. It is a given that the cameras on the upcoming iPhones are going to be a huge upgrade over their predecessors, but the question is will it be enough to beat the shooters of the Galaxy S6 and LG G4?

#4 Quick charging

Usually, it takes anywhere between 2-2.5 hours to charge an iPhone. While this was the standard time taken by almost all smartphones to charge their battery to full from almost 0, things have changed significantly over the last one year. Almost all high-end Android flagships are now able to charge from 0-100% in only around 1.4 hours. This is despite them coming with batteries that are of significantly higher capacity than the one found on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

For comparison, the iPhone 6 Plus, which comes with a 2915mAh battery, takes just over 3 hours to charge from 0-100%. Thanks to fast charging, the Galaxy Note 5 can be charged twice from 0-100 percent in the same amount of time, even though it comes with a slightly bigger 3,000mAh battery.

Another benefit of quick charging is that even if the device is charged for only around 10 minutes, it gains around 20-40 percent of additional battery charge, which can come in very handy in certain scenarios.

Quick charging is one such feature that you will want in almost all your devices once you get used to it. One can only hope that Apple includes a similar feature on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, though the chances of the company doing so are slim.

#3 More RAM

Last year, I grew tired of the poor camera quality of most Android smartphones and jumped ship to the iPhone 6. The experience was a revelation in itself; smooth scrolling in all apps, not a hint of lag and an App Store that was filed with some quality apps and games. However, a month down the line, I came across a major issue with the iPhone 6: due to the lack of RAM, the device constantly offloaded apps from memory.

After using Android phones for years, a crippled multitasking experience was a huge deal breaker for me. I just could not understand why other iPhone owners never complained about the same issue. The fix for this problem is actually a pretty simple one: all Apple needs to do is add more RAM to the iPhone. With even sub -$100 budget Android smartphones now coming with 2GB RAM, it is now high time that Apple also upgrades the paltry 1GB of RAM on the iPhone to something like 2 or 3GB.

Thankfully, if reports are anything to go by, the new iPhones will come with 2GB RAM, which will translate into better multitasking performance. It will also allow game developers to make more use of textures without worrying about running out of RAM.

#2 Less bugs

One of the prime reasons I switched to an iPhone 6 last year was due to the sheer number of bugs present in Lollipop. A month down the line with iOS 8/iOS 8.1 and I realised just how buggy the OS was. Spotlight not showing up, SwiftKey being randomly being replaced with the stock iOS keyboard, and so much more. Needless to say, I was disappointed with my overall experience with iOS 8, though to Apple’s credit, it did manage to squash most of the bugs with iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, which were released earlier this year.

With iOS 9 bringing with a lot of new features and enhancements, I hope that Apple has not once again sacrificed the stability of the OS in order to stuff in the new features to the OS.

#1 One more thing

Thanks to leaks and rumors, we now end up knowing about every key new feature of a major smartphone days (and sometimes weeks) before its official unveiling. Due to this, there is no element of surprise left at the official launch event of these smartphones. Look back at some of major flagship Android smartphone launches this year like the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, and LG G4, or even the iPhone 6 last year, and you will notice that there was nothing ‘new’ that these companies announced when they unveiled the device at their respective launch events. There was no surprising new feature or a feature that could make one literally go “Wow!”.

This year, things are no different as thanks to various leaks and reports, we virtually know almost everything about the upcoming new iPhones. However, if there is one company that is still capable of surprising the tech-y audience in this leaky world that will be attending and watching its event live on September 9th, it is Apple. The company might just surprise everyone with how it will put Force Touch to use on the new iPhones, a feature about which the only thing that is known right now is that it will be used to speed up day-to-day iOS activities.
