An iPhone 6s Plus rear shell has leaked and it allegedly features a stronger material to prevent bending, according to FutureSupplier.

In the photos below you can see that the overall shell is similar to the current generation device with some slight differences.

The biggest changes are those two screw holes positioned as shown in the picture below. On the left is the iPhone 6S plus rear housing with the screw hole, used to hold the loud speaker module, is slightly higher than iPhone 6 Plus’s, indicates that the loud speaker module is different.

The site's source says, “The iPhone 6 Plus’ rear housing feels smother than the iPhone 6S Plus, while the 6S Plus’ rear housing is stronger.”

This observation may be in line with rumors that have suggested that Apple will use 7000 series aluminum to strengthen the device. Apple is expected to order a record breaking 85-90 million initial order of next generation iPhones for release this fall.

Not needed. Apart from pre damaged phones or super fat people sitting on them or click-baiters looking for video hits it's a non issue.

It actually is. People who sit on them don't need a phone to not take care of them, but this is targeted to people who want a phone who need it that bad without bending it by mistake if they are that careful with them like me.

The problem is the front, not the back.

we all know the glass ain't strong, but for sure it will be sapphire.

Sapphire? I highly doubt that will be the case.
