Exciting news for Apple fans- the new iPhone 6s could be here within a matter of weeks.

Leaked pictures show a number of batches of the phone are ready to be shipped.

The phone is expected to look exactly the same as the current iPhone 6 but will have a major overhaul of its internals and something called a ‘touch force’ screen.

And it could be launched as early as September 7.

The iPhone 6s is likely to keep its base storage of 16GB but will have a new near-field communication (NFC) processor and fewer chips.

The boosted NFC processor, used to make Apple Pay payments, is said to have added security features.

Force Touch technology was introduced on the latest Macbook and is also available on the Apple Watch.

In addition to recognising touch, the technology senses how hard you tap your phone.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the tech giant has ordered suppliers to manufacture between 85 million and 90 million of the new phone.

The year after a new handset is launched Apple releases a slightly upgraded version with a few minor tweaks.
