Most cell phones actually use off the shelf sensors and interfaces. It's an easy way to allow differentiation -- have the same mainboard, but different screen sizes, cameras, etc for different lines. I can't find info on the 6s exactly, but previous lines used standard Omnivision imaging chips that spoke over the same CSI-2 interface used by everyone else, and found even on boards like the raspberry pi.
