The indication that the new, smaller handset will not include 3D Touch is consistent with previous rumors that indicate while the new device will include an A9 processor, the same one powering Apple’s current flagship handsets, and will also boast Live Photos support, it will debut sans 3D Touch, which is being maintained as a headline feature for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus flagship devices.
