Apple's next iPhone will incorporate Force Touch display and have a 12 Megapixel rear camera, according to the latest rumors.

MacWorld UKcites KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo – an analyst well known for leaking accurate details about iPhone models – as stating that the next iPhone will include several key innovations.

These include implementing Force Touch, a touchscreen technology introduced to the new MacBook last month.

Force Touch accepts different inputs depending on how hard the screen is pressed. Because this is a new technology, this could mean demand for the new devices outstrips supply for some time.

The new smartphone is also expected to include 2GB of RAM and a 12-megapixel rear-facing technology. Kuo has predicted that to total shipments will reach 90 million in 2015.

The rumor mill has collectively nicknamed Apple's new smartphone the iPhone 6S, but other rumors claim that Apple could skip the iPhone 6S and jump straight to the iPhone 7.

While observers expect Apple to launch the new device in September, following the previous strategy of yearly launches, some rumors assert hat Apple may start releasing new smartphones twice per year to better keep pace with rivals including Samsung.
