iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus
The latest line of iPhone devices, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, aren’t physically much different than the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. In fact, the dimensions (4.7-inch 6S and 5.5-inch 6S Plus) are the same as previous models. However, there are some significant additions and enhancements:
- 3D Touch, a feature that adds a pressure sensitive display that allows you to pull up different menus based on how hard you press on the screen.
- Voice-activated Siri (similar to Amazon Echo and Android) allows users to summon the digital assistant by simply saying “Hey Siri.”
- A new A9 chip, which Apple claims is 70 percent faster at computing tasks than last year's A8 chip.
- The new 12-megapixel iSight camera, which is a tremendous boost from the previous phone’s 8-megapixel camera. The camera is able to shoot ultra-high resolution 4K videos.
- Offers faster LTE and Wi-Fi wireless connections
- Comes in four finishes: silver, gold, space gray and a new rose gold finish
