Apple iPhone 6s

Once again Apple has managed to grab everyone’s attention with the revelation of the latest iPhone 6s. Pulling down curtains on all the speculations Apple CEO Tim Cook took the center stage to un-wrap iPhone 6S in a staged event in San Francisco on Wednesday. So, let’s do a preview of widely awaited IPhone 6S with its features and specification including Apple 3D touch display:

Design:

Like all Apple’s “S” series phones, these new iPhone also looks identical previous generation iPhones from the exterior. However, Apple has tried to reinforce its built quality with by using superior quality aluminum ‘7000 series,’ which is generally used in the field of aerospace. Apple’s team also claims that the latest iPhone models consist a much sturdier screen glass which has been being reinforced chemically.

3D Touch:

With these iPhone 6S, Apple has literally said goodbye to industry standard ‘multi-touch’ panel. The multi-touch panel offers ability to multiple touch and support feature like pinch to zoom. However, with new 3D touch – a pressure sensitive display, Apple has added an additional dimension to the way we use screens of our phones. Now this display lets you take a sneak peek of a web link with just a light tap without really opening it in a browser.

A9 Processor:

With new iPhone, debuts Apple's new 64-bit architecture based A9 chipset. As per the Apple claims, this A9 processor process apps about 70 percent faster than its predecessors. On the other hand, this new chipset clocks even more efficiently while rendering games at higher frame rates.

Camera:

After persisting with its 8MP camera for years, Apple has finally decided to rework on its primary iSight camera. IPhone 6S and iPhone 6S plus features an upgraded 12MP which captures about 50 percent more pixels when compared with its elder sibling iPhone 6. Apart from still photos, this upgraded camera is also capable of capturing 4K videos. A cool ‘live photos’ feature is also added which create a 1.5-second video by capturing images before and after user click the shutter button.

The photo quality of the front camera also is improved significantly with the help of elevated 5MP camera. Apple tries to compensate front flash with on-screen flash to capture brighter and better selfies. Apple has named this technique as ‘Retina Flash’ and claims that it offers 3 times brighter lighting than a true tone flash.

Faster Touch ID:

According to Apple, the fingerprint sensor fitted in IPhone 6S is tweaked to perform two times faster than its precursor.

Improved Network capabilities:

The latest generation IPhones are compatible with 23 LTE bands up to 300mbps speed.

The price of IPhone 6S remain unchanged compared to their predecessors for the US customers but so far, they have remained mum on the pricing in India or a launch date.

Apple promised three major updates with the iPhone 6s: 3D touch, camera and performance. The A9 chip easily delivers. Already outstanding responsiveness and fluid handling are taken to the next level. No issues there. The 12MP stills and 4K videos may be late but they're executed in the typical Apple fashion. A long-awaited camera upgrade finally delivered. Not quite picture-perfect, without OIS and considering owners of 16GB iPhones may be running out of storage pretty soon. read more →

It's easy to say that these are the best iPhones Apple has ever made, but that's true every year. Like I said before, a device's worth isn't tied directly to a single feature: The important thing is how all of its components and design flourishes and features and interaction elements fit together as a unified whole. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus nail it -- mostly. They're great phones: well-built, well thought-out and brimming with potential. read more →

Apple's done what we all expected - finely balanced its latest phone. 3D Touch is a genuine innovation, and the phone works fluidly at nearly every task but it's very similar to 2014's model. The chassis is stronger, the camera sharper - with a new Harry Potter-esque way of capturing your snaps and there's even a completely new way of interacting with the screen. On paper, it's an impressive upgrade.
