Apple officially unveils the iPhone 6s with 3D Touch display
09 SEPTEMBER, 2015
At today’s Apple event the company pulled the wraps off the iPhone 6s. The phone keeps the exterior of its predecessor, but features all new internals and some nice new extras. Those include a new processor, updated cameras at the front and back, and a pressure sensitive 3D Touch display.
3D Touch
In addition to multitouch, the new iPhone 6srecognizes force. It works on the homescreen and gives you shortcuts on the stuff you do frequently. Pressing lightly on an email thread, gives you a preview of the message, for example.
It also provides distinct and tactile feedback to your presses. Under the display, there’s a vibrating “Taptic engine”, which is similar to the one found on the Macbook trackpad and on the Apple Watch.
Otherwise, the display is the same 4.7” Retina display found on the iPhone 6.
A9 chipset
Debuting on the iPhone 6s is the Apple A9 chipset. It’s the company’s third generation 64-bit chipset and offers up to 90% faster console-class GPU as well as up to 70% faster CPU performance, according to the company. It also offers new transistor architecture, which Apple is yet to expand upon.
The M9 co-processor is also updated. However, we're yet to find out how it has been improved.
New 12MP iSight camera
The iPhone 6s features Apple's all new 12MP iSight camera. It features 50% more pixels as well as 50% more focus pixels.
The new 12MP camera can now shoot 4K video, too.
Interestingly, the front-facing camera is now 5MP and uses the LCD display as a true-tone flash. There's a special chip inside the iPhone 6s, which drives the display up to 3x brighter in order to provide the best possible lighting for your selfies.
2-nd generation TouchID
It's two times faster than the first generation TouchID, as per Phill Schiller.
Enhanced connectivity
The iPhone 6s ships with LTE Advanced as well as twice as fast Wi-Fi. The latter is probably thanks to MiMo antenna technology inside, but that hasn't been confirmed just yet.
Accessories
Apple also unveiled new accessories - a bunch of leather and silicone cases. There's also a new charging dock, which will be offered in the same four colors as the iPhone 6s.
Pricing
The Apple iPhone 6s will be priced just like the iPhone 6. In the US, the phone will cost $199 for the 16GB model with a two-year contract. The 64GB and 128GB ones will retail for $299 and $399, respectively.
Pre-orders start September 12, while sales commence on September 25. The phone will launch in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan.
In Germany, the iPhone 6s will start at €739 off-contract for the 16GB model. The 64GB will sell for €849 and the 128GB will go for €959. In France, prices are bumped by €10 on each tier.
As for the UK, prices start at £539, while the 64GB and 128GB iPhone 6s models cost £619 and £699, respectively.
Apple iPhone 6s Plus is now official with 12MP OIS camera
09 SEPTEMBER, 2015
Today Apple announced the next generation iPhones - the 4.7" iPhone 6s and the 5.5" iPhone 6s Plus. The bigger iPhone 6s Plus utilizes an improved Aluminum 7000 series unibody shell, and brings several novelties on its specs sheet despite looking the same as before.
The iPhone 6s Plus keeps the 5.5" IPS display of 1080p resolution (400ppi density), but adds 3D Touch technology underneath. This allows new interaction on system-wide level, just like on the Apple Watch. Now the iOS can differentiate the taps from the force presses and trigger different actions for each. This is possible thanks to a new layer of sensors embedded in the back-lightning.
The iPhone 6s Plus also features a new taptic engine capable of more precise haptic feedback for the different gestures.
The next major change is the new A9 chip. According to Apple it offers 80% mode processing and 90% more graphics power than the A8 generation. We can't yet confirm the exact CPU core count and speed, neither can we shed details on the new GPU and RAM amount just yet. The rumors suggested the RAM remains 1GB though.
There is also a new M9 co-processor, which just like its predecessors is always on and tracks your activity. It also allows for the "Hey Siri" command, which activates Siri immediately.
Finally, the camera department has received a long overdue boost. The main camera now has a 12MP sensor and comes with optical image stabilization. As before, it is accompanied by a dual-LED dual-tone flash.
The camera also got a new option called Live Photos - similar to HTC's ZOE it lets you record 1.5s of video either side of the moment you press the shutter key, and later produces images that actually move when you press them. You can set up such a picture on your lockscreen and see it go live upon a press.
Thanks to the new higher resolution sensor the iPhone 6s Plus is now capable of capturing 2160p videos.
The front camera finally receives a resolution boost as well - it now uses a 5MP sensor, supports face detection and you can capture 1080p videos, with it. You can also use the display as the so-called Retina Flash. It will light up more than usual and help you take better selfies in the dark as long as you keep the phone close to your face.
The iPhone 6s Plus supports LTE Cat.6 connectivity, NFC for Apple Pay only, faster Wi-Fi 802.11ac with MIMO support and VoLTE.
There is a new second generation Touch ID sensor, which halves the response time.
The rumors about a new color option were correct - in addition to the Silver, Space Gray and Gold paintjobs, we are also getting a Rose Gold flavor.
The Apple iPhone 6s Plus will start at $299 for the 16GB version, while the 64GB and 128GB will retail for $399 and $499, respectively. These prices are with a two-year contract on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint in the US.
The off-contract prices are $749, $849, $949 for the iPhone 6s Plus for 16, 64 and 128GB options. The EU prices begin at €849 (£619 in UK) for the base 16GB version, but prices will quickly rise up if you go for the versions with more storage. €959 (£699) will get you the 64GB version, while the 128GB version will cost €1,069 (£789).
Apple is also introducing a new program called iPhone Upgrade Program. It will be available via the Apple Retail Stores and will allow you to get an unlocked new iPhone every year. It will cost you $32/month and includes Apple Care+.
The iPhone 6s Plus pre-orders commence on September 12 and shipments being on September 25 for Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, UK and the US
