Now that we know the details on Apples new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the most important question in the world can be posed: Will your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus case fit on the new models?
Some companies, like Speck, have said that their iPhone 6 cases will fit the new iPhones. Check the website of your case manufacturer and see if theyve made a statement about their cases.
You really need to look at the new iPhones in person to make sure your old case fits. But by the looks of the product photos, the cameras and side buttons havent moved, so your case alignment should be fine. The dimensions of the new iPhones have changed, however, which will determine if you can still use your case.
iPhone 6s
The iPhone 6s is almost the same size as the iPhone 6in inches it"s the same height and width, but the 6s is bigger by fractions of a millimeter. The iPhone 6s is deeper, measuring 0.28 inches (7.1 millimeters). Thats 0.01 inches (0.2 mm) thicker than the iPhone 6. And the 6s weighs more, too.
Theres a good chance your iPhone 6 case can fit on the iPhone 6s. If youre using a silicon or leather case, your case probably has stretched a little with age, so it may fit fine on a new iPhone 6s. Hard-shell cases are a different storytheyll probably fit, unless the fit is already very tight on your iPhone 6.
iPhone 6s Plus
The iPhone 6s Plus is bigger overall than the iPhone 6 Plus. Its taller, wider, deeper, and even weighs more than its predecessorwere talking .1 or .2 mm on each dimension, so its not obviously bigger, which means you might think that your case will fit.
And it may, if you have a silicon or leather case thats developed some give over time. Its possible, though, that an iPhone 6 Plus hard-shell case that needs a snug fit wont really fit on the iPhone 6s Plus.
Bottom line: Its a case-by-case issue, but there"s a good chance your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus case will fit.

Argentina vs Mexico (2-2) International - Friendly 2015 | Review Game Fifa
Lionel Messi is expected to feature from the start for Argentina in their international friendly against MexicoReuters
After thrashing Bolivia in their last friendly, Argentina will want to put on another attacking show when they face Mexico in Texas on Friday.
Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Ezequiel Lavezzi grabbed a double each while Angel Correa added another as Argentina ran riot in Houston, thumping Bolivia 7-0.
Messi only played the last 25 minutes of the match against Bolivia, but the Argentina maestro is expected to feature from the start against Mexico at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
"We had to think carefully about him because he has played a lot of games," Martino said of Messi, who was almost obligated to come on in the second half as the crowd in Houston demanded to see the footballing superstar. "Luckily, in a short time, he made it worth the price of admission."
While the Bolivia match was a no-contest, Mexico are expected to give more competition to Argentina, and Martino thinks that might be a good thing, considering the 2018 World Cup qualifiers are set to start next month.
"We had a good performance as individuals, but we are interested to see how well we can play collectively," the former Barcelona manager said. "We hold Mexico in high regard, and the team has grown considerably in the last 20 years, with great tournament outings, and have many players in Europe."
Martino also admitted he will make quite a few changes to the team that beat Bolivia, so it will be interesting to see who all come in.
"On Tuesday we will see how the team changes," Martino said. "The idea is to play everyone, but I have not yet decided my team.
"[Ezequiel] Garay, [Pablo] Zabaleta, [Lucas] Biglia, [Javier] Pastore, [Gonzalo] Higuain and [Angel] Di Maria are in my squad but I will have to see how they recover from their injuries."
Mexico are a team still finding themselves after the coaching changes, and new manager Ricardo Ferretti happy with the team"s last performance, a 3-3 draw with Trinidad & Tobago.
"Naturally, there are things to improve, but in general the team coped well," Ferretti said about the match against Trinidad & Tobago. "I take good conclusions. I"m satisfied.
"It would"ve been much better to have won the game for confidence, but I have good conclusions right now."

Apple CEO Tim Cook waves as he arrives on stage to deliver his keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco June 9, 2015.
It"s the middle of August and September is just around the corner. And most people know that September is a big month for Apple. In 2014, the company"s September event brought with it the unveiling of the new iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, as well as the much-awaited Apple Watch. This year, reports are speculating that this year"s announcement may include a new iPhone and next-generation iPads.
According to a Tech Timesreport, the date for the event has not been confirmed yet, but some experts are predicting that it may be on Sept. 9, the same as last year"s date.
In as far as announcements go, the report also predicts that the main announcement will the new iPhone, which may either be called the iPhone 6s, although some reports are saying it may also be the next generation iPhone 7. It will entirely depend on how much change Apple will make with the new device and given that last year already brought about major design changes, this year may be a bit different.
The report claims that the new iPhone will be equipped with Force Touch technology, which is already being used in the new MacBook, which will change the way a user interacts with the device. In addition to this, it is rumored that the new iPhone will be powered with the newest A9 processor, will have better cameras, and a better LTE chip for faster connectivity. It may also come with Apple"s latest mobile OS, iOS 9, which is said to significantly improve battery life through its power-saving features.
Another report in Computerworldadded that new iPads may be coming as well. It speculates that a new iPad Pro will be revealed, which not only has a bigger 12.9-inch screen, but will also have features that put the iPad in the center of business and enterprise. The report also says that the iPad Mini and the iPad Air will get a refresh, most especially with the new iOS 9 and its improved features.
Italy"s top criminal court has criticised prosecutors over the flawed case against Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.
The Court of Cassation has issued its formal written explanation for the ruling in March which vindicated Ms Knox and Raffaele Sollecito in the 2007 killing of the 21-year-old.
It said there was an "absolute lack of biological traces" of either Ms Knox or Mr Sollecito in Ms Kercher"s room at the apartment she shared in Perugia, Italy, with Ms Knox, or on the victim"s body.
The high court also cited "blameworthy omissions of investigative activity" and said media furore was also a factor in the ultimately flawed case.
Meredith Kercher, 21, was found in her Perugia apartment in 2007
The judges wrote: "The trial had oscillations which were the result of stunning flaws, or amnesia, in the investigation and omissions in the investigative activity.
"The international spotlight on the case in fact resulted in the investigation undergoing a sudden acceleration, that, in the frantic search for one or more guilty parties to consign to international public opinion, certainly didn"t help the search for substantial truth."
Ms Knox, now 28, and Mr Sollecito, now 31, were declared not to have murdered Ms Kercher in the March ruling.
If the court had upheld the 2014 appeals court conviction of the pair, she would have faced 28-and-a-half years in prison while Mr Sollecito faced 25 years.
They have always insisted on their innocence.
Rudy Hermann Guede, from the Ivory Coast, was convicted in separate proceedings and is serving a 16-year sentence.
Five judges on the panel on the Court of Cassation found that while there were indications Guede may have had accomplices, the prosecutors" case did not prove either Ms Knox or Mr Sollecito was involved in the murder.
It also said that the lower court ignored expert testimony that "clearly demonstrated possible contamination" of evidence found at the scene and misinterpreted findings about the knife allegedly used to cut Ms Kercher"s throat.
At home with Rickie Fowler in Murrieta, California

NORTON, Mass. One big putt for Rickie Fowler. One big mistake for Henrik Stenson.
The turned out to be the difference Monday when Fowler rallied from a two-shot deficit with five holes to play, making a 40-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole and playing flawless the rest of the way for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot victory in the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Fowler won for the third time this year and moved to No. 5 in the world, not quite in the conversation for the new "Big Three" but perhaps on the cusp of it. The victory assures he will be among the top five players in the FedEx Cup that has a clear shot at the $10 million prize in the Tour Championship.
"It"s pretty special to fight it out like that," Fowler said.
Stenson was a runner-up in a FedEx Cup playoff event for the second straight week, and this one figures to sting.
He grabbed a three-shot lead with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 10th, and after a two-shot swing in Fowler"s favor at No. 11, the Swede drilled a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 12 to restore his lead to two shots.
Stenson never trailed until his tee shot on the par-3 16th came up short, bounced off the front of the green and down into the rocks and the water. That led to a double bogey, and Fowler never gave him a chance to catch up.
Stenson had a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a tie, but it slid by on the right and he closed with a 70. Fowler two-putted for par from 10 feet.
"I obviously pulled the wrong club on 16 and was trying to get the most out of a 7-iron into the wind and ballooned that one a little bit and that was the crucial mistake. Making double there was really a killer," Stenson said. "I tried to get those two shots back or at least one to force a playoff on the last two holes and couldn"t manage to do it."
The final hour was every bit as tense as The Players Championship in May, except instead of five players having a chance to win, this was a duel with Stenson the entire back nine. Fowler didn"t make any birdies after his long putt on the 14th, but he didn"t have to. Where he thrived was off the tee and his iron play into the greens. Swinging freely, he was never really out of position until he went just long of the green on the par-5 closing hole with his second shot.
He played it safe with a putter to 10 feet, putting pressure on Stenson to the very end.
Fowler finished at 15-under 269 and moved to No. 3 in the FedEx Cup behind Jason Day and Jordan Spieth, with Stenson at No. 4 and Bubba Watson at No. 5.
Charley Hoffman bounced back from a 76 to close with a 67 and finish alone in third.
One of the loudest cheers was for a player who had no chance to win. William McGirt was on the verge of being eliminated from the FedEx Cup when he holed a 7-iron from the fairway on No. 17 for eagle. A par on the 18th hole allowed him to sneak into the top 70 and advance to the third playoff event north of Chicago in two weeks.
Hunter Mahan kept his streak going by closing with a 70 to tie for fourth, moving him from No. 91 to No. 52. Mahan is the only player who has never missed a FedEx Cup playoff event since this series began in 2007. Jerry Kelly made birdie on the last hole for a 72 to narrow get into the top 70. Keegan Bradley also got in.
Two other players imploded on the back nine to end their season.
Kevin Streelman appeared to be safe until he shot 42 on the back nine for a 77. He was at No. 65 and dropped to No. 75. Carlos Ortiz of Mexico had four straight birdies and was making a late bid for Chicago until he took triple bogey on No. 9 and then shot 41 on the back nine for a 71.
There were no changes to the Presidents Cup, though Matt Jones of Australia squandered a great chance. He only needed third place to make the International team, but he made two double bogeys in three holes to start the back nine and finished in a five-way tie for fourth.
Stenson now has been runner-up four times this year without winning, and this was every bit as good a chance to win as Bay Hill.
