So, the new iPhone.... I'm not a huge advocate of Apple products, mostly on princple, but working in a phone shop and selling these to people all day has got me interested.

So here is it the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus

So.....what's new??

3D Touch
Senses how deeply you press the display, letting you do all kinds of essential things more quickly and simply. Peek and Pop to dip in and out of your content without losing your place.
Press lightly on content for a Peek, then press a little deeper to Pop into the full content.
This is a mild improvement on the frustrating lack of a back button!!

12MP iSight Camera and 4K Video
State-of-the-art sensor with advanced pixel technology for higher resolution photos.
4K video recording for up to 4 times the resolution of 1080p HD video

Live Photos
Live Photos lets you relive your favorite memories by capturing a 12MP photo and the moments just before and after. Press a photo and it comes to life with movement and sound. Set a Live Photo on the Lock screen or share with your other Apple devices. Take great selfies with the 5MP FaceTime. Retina HD display acts as a flash for the FaceTime HD camera, and flashes 3 times brighter. And let's face it it's just cool!

New A9 chip with 64-bit architecture
Up to 70% faster CPU and 90% faster graphics performance than the A8 chip in iPhone 6–bringing a whole new level of performance and efficiency. Integrated M9 motion coprocessor for fitness tracking and always-on “Hey Siri” .....yawn!

Design
Enclosure made of 7000 Series aluminum, same grade used in aerospace industry. Strongest and most durable cover glass ever on iPhone. A new Rose Gold finish joins Gold, Silver,
and Space Gray. Plus it's PRETTY!

Faster 4G LTE and Wi-Fi
Up to twice as fast 4G LTE and Wi-Fi as iPhone 6, with 4G LTE Advanced 2. Supports 23 4G LTE bands for access in more places, including while roaming.

Faster Touch ID
Unlock your iPhone with your fingerprint even faster with second-generation Touch ID.
Approve purchases from iTunes, App Store, and iBooks Store with Touch ID. Use Apple Pay and Touch ID to pay in stores and within apps. Not sure how comfortable I feel being able to purchase things with my phone :/

Great battery life
iPhone 6s: Up to 14 hours of 3G talk time, and up to 10 hours of 4G LTE browsing and 11 of Wi-Fi browsing

iPhone 6s Plus: Up to 24 hours of 3G talk time, and up to 12 hours of 4G LTE and Wi-Fi browsing

I may not be an apple fan, but damn these phones are pretty!! I still refuse to buy one and have just got my new Sony Xperia Z5 compact :) but at least apple seem to be improving their products.

  1. yes - this is information I looked at - and ended up with the 6s in the end - camera not as good but ok price (I needed to purchase another one as well - and yes I now need to win the lottery!). I have used Apple since I can't remember. I agree that it is good to know what is out there in terms of technology - so I had a look at your gadget http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/16/9549247/sony-xperia-z5-review-compact-android
    now these devices are essentials rather than desirables - professional equipment - but at a price!
