According to blog nowhereelse, they show the front of Apple's iPhone 6s, which it is believed will be unveiled in September.

The handset is expected to look identical to the current 6 and 6s, but have a major overhaul of its internals and a new 'touch force' screen. 

'One of my informants has just sent me a series of photos of several batches of facades ready to be shipped to the assembly lines of the iPhone 6s,' said Steve Hemmerstoffer of the site. 

Apple is preparing for record breaking sales of its next iPhone. 

It comes after circuitry and chips inside what is reported to be Apple's next phone were laid bare in a series of leaked images and files.

The image reveals that although the iPhone 6S is likely to keep its base storage at 16GB, it will have a new near-field communication (NFC) processor and have fewer chips. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, the tech giant has ordered suppliers to manufacture between 85 million and 90 million units combined of two new iPhone models with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays by Dec. 31.

Apple last year ordered a then-record initial production run of 70 million to 80 million for its first larger-screen iPhones, the report claims.

'Apple Inc. is preparing for a larger initial production run of its next iPhones, betting that even modest hardware changes will entice consumers to upgrade handsets and outstrip demand for the larger-screen phones that it released last year,' the Journal says.

While a schematic obtained in Japan suggests the handset will be 7.1mm thick - slightly thicker than the current 6.9mm thick iPhone 6.

The leaked images were analysed by experts at fan site 9to5Mac and tech firm Chipworks. 

They claim the new NFC processor, which is used to make contactless Apple Pay payments, will add a secure element. 

The schematic was obtained by Engadget Japan.  

Every year following a major update to its phone hardware, Apple releases an incrementally upgraded handset that features minor tweaks. 

These tweaks are typically made to boost battery life or performance, while the outside of the phones remain relatively unchanged. 

Based on the leaked images and files, the iPhone 6S will be an almost identical, but more powerful version of last year's iPhone 6. 

However, rumours do suggest there will be at least two new features designed to attract new users - namely an updated colour range, and Force Touch. 

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 force, adding a new dimension to using the screen. 

The new iPhone, expected to be unveiled on 25 September, is then expected to borrow the aluminium and rose gold colours used in Apple's Watch. 

Other predicted features include an A9 processor with 2GB of RAM and an improved 12MP camera. - up from 8MP.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone will also use the same materials at the Watch. 

While Daiwa Capital Markets analyst Kylie Huang added Force Touch will work better on larger-screen iPhones and could lead to more innovative gaming applications.
