The iPhone is undergoing a makeover. Even if you can't see it yet.
Leaked images of the new iPhone don't look too different from the current iPhone 6 at first glance, according to photos obtained by 9to5Mac.
But the new iPhone's internal components appear destined for an upgrade.
According to the latest rumors, the iPhone 6S is slated for a fall release and its widely anticipated feature is Force Touch: the touch screen will also be sensitive to pressure.
Based on the leaked images, here's what we think we know about the iPhone 6S (or whatever Apple will call it).
The big picture
The 4.7 inch iPhone 6S is unlikely to change notably in appearance from the iPhone 6, according to the photos provided to 9to5Mac from "a proven source familiar with Apple's supply chain." The dimensions, position of holes and even the shade of gray offered as a color option, all seem the same for now.
There is no information about a newer version of the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus yet.
Speculations about a dual-lens camera systems were in the air. But judging by the mostly unchanged case, the camera could protrude less, but there simply won't be room for two cameras in the new shell. That rumor appears to be dead.
The smaller details: 9to5Mac, which has an extremely good track record at predicting the future of Apple devices and software, confirms that the mounting points on the exterior case match the information they have about the new logic board, suggesting that internal changes are underway.
What those changes are can't yet be known from the images. The changes likely don't involve the connectors, speakers and microphones -- they all remain identical to the current iteration.
One rumor was that Apple would get rid of it's iPhone 6's antenna lines that wrap around the edge of the phone. Apple appears to have tried -- the company did file for a patent on a a technique to hide them. But that modification does not make an appearance yet in the leaked images. Sorry, the lines are probably here to stay.
What it means for you: If you are upgrading from an iPhone 6, you'll get to keep the same phone case that you love. If you're upgrading from a different smartphone, cases will be readily available on the day you buy it.
Screen protectors, chargers and headphones will stay the same too. Accessory producers don't have to revamp their production lines all over again.

Story highlights
- Phil Walsh, 55, treated for multiple stab wounds but died at the scene
- Victim's 26-year-old son, who lived with Walsh and his wife, has been charged with murder
- Walsh previously said his obsession with the sport had caused a "disconnect" with his son
(CNN)The head coach of Australian Football League club Adelaide Crows was murdered at his home early Friday morning, according to a statement released by the South Australian Police.
After being called to a domestic disturbance at around 2 a.m. local time, ambulance crews treated Phil Walsh, 55, for multiple stab wounds but he died at the scene. The crews alerted the police.
His 26-year-old son, who lived with Walsh and his wife, has been charged with murder. A knife, believed to have been used in the attack, was retrieved from the scene.
Walsh's wife also sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is being treated at the Flinders Medical Centre in the city.
Argument leads to stabbing
"Police were able to establish that, around two o'clock, the son of the family had attended, there had been an argument... as a result of that Mr. Walsh and his wife received the wounds," Superintendent Des Bray, Officer in Charge, Major Crime Detectives, told reporters.
Walsh's son was arrested on a street around 2.5 km (1.5 miles) a short time later and is being detained, also at Flinders, for a psychiatric assessment.
"It's not even that he is a high-profile person, it's just absolutely terrible when families are torn apart in such tragic circumstances. For any family, regardless of who it is, it is one of the worst things that you could imagine would happen to you," Bray added.
"The only difference with this (case) is that he has a high profile. The pain and suffering is no different."
Obsession leads to "disconnect"
In an interview with Australian newspaper the Herald Sun in April, Walsh said that his obsession with the sport had caused a "disconnect" with his son.
"I just immersed myself, got consumed and was selfish with as much time I committed to footy," he is quoted as saying. "I lost that connection and I'm trying to reconnect with my son, which I have done."
He said in the interview that his job made relationships with those close to him difficult.
"I used to shut down all relationships because it was too hard to be in the moment with people, hard to be in their moment," he said.
Club "devastated"
The Adelaide Football Club posted a short statement saying the organization is "devastated" at Walsh's passing.
"We ask if you could please respect the privacy of his family, as well as our players, coaches and staff, at this extremely difficult time," it added.
