These guys think the iPhone 6S (or iPhone 7, even) is coming in Spring 2015.

They are wrong. Why? Because (a) Apple has only just ramped up production enough on the 6 and 6 Plus to meet demand, a hugely expensive (and profitable in the long-run) process that it would not up-end just for the sake of it.

And also, the press ALWAYS gets this wrong.
