iPhone 6s Rumors Start to Leak Out

Apple Insider has some supposed iPhone 6s leaks. This claim caught my eye:

Kuo also suggested that some 5.5-inch "Plus" models might use scratch-resistant sapphire covers, though he said that would depend on whether drop test issues could be resolved.

Does anyone really think that "some" plus models will have different screens than others? How will a customer know what they're getting? Will they charge more for the sapphire screens? Will it be a whole other line of plus devices (the iPhone 6s plus plus)?

I think that a lot of these claims will be true, but people seem totally hung up on Apple putting a sapphire screen on everything these days. It's a constant rumor, and I don't think we're any more likely to see it this September than we ever have before. I certainly don't think that we'll have just a select few iPhone plus's with the screens and some without.
