iPhone 6s: Features to remember

A couple of months back Apple released the iPhone 6S and if you’re not actually familiar with the Apple practice you might be perplexed relating to this brand new iPhone as it appears the same to the iPhone 6 but fear not they are not the identical. On the inside at the very least.

There is far better components, strengthened camera, sturdier case, the all new 3D Touch and (lastly) 2GB of RAM. Over the years the ‘S’ regularly introduced one thing brand new to the plate, the iPhone 4S added in Siri and the iPhone 5S had the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

The major inclusion to the iPhone 6s is undoubtedly the new pressure-sensitive touchscreen technology named the 3D Touch that though at this moment is quite impressive and may absolutely become so much more captivating when more apps are launched for it.

Primarily, what Apple should do is to entice consumers that the S variation of iPhone 6 costs the upgrade, regardless of whether there are a great deal of other smartphones to pick from and regretfully the iPhone 6S does not feel like a game changer, it only has some subtle upgrades that do have a bunch of potential with future updates or installments.

Layout

Initially glance, the iPhone 6S appears the same to the iPhone 6, it has the same rounded corners and edges, but there are some subtle style modifications.

The frontal of the phone is currently stronger, the glass being less likely to snap if the phone is plunged and lastly, the iPhone 6S is now built from the 7000 series aluminum.

As said previously, these types of changes are faint and will most likely go unnoticed by most. The volume buttons, the silencer switch and the power key reside in the exact place as in 2015 and this isn’t a terrible thing because the phone is really quick and easy to use with one hand and the buttons are exactly where they should be.

As a side note, the iPhone 6S works with iPhone 6 cases.

Design

The iPhone 6S appears to have the same display screen as the iPhone 6, presenting a 4.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1334x750p, 16 million colours and a pixel density of 326ppi.

Even though there are far more affordable phones that offer 1080p resolution or even 4K display( which is a serious overkill!), the iPhone 6S still offers a wonderful screen experience, being crisp and clear, with deep blacks, bright whites and very accurate colours.

While the resolution keeps the identical there is one notable add-on off the in 2015’s front runner. You are now provided with the 3D Touch which gives a fully new way to communicate with the iPhone.

This launches entire new possibilities. If today you may simply open pop-up windows, trigger quick actions or expand, preview links and messages and there is a lot that might be done in the coming future.

Performance

The iPhone 6S showcases greater hardware than the iPhone 6, with an Apple A9 Chipset, 1.84 GHz dual-core Typhoon CPU, six-core PowerVR GT7600 GPU, 2GB RAM and, still, no card slot.

This equates into easier multitasking, far better handling of graphically-demanding activities (like playing games), there was no hesitation, no lost frames and the smartphone never delayed when we used it.

But there are some imperfections. Apple decided to keep 16GB as base memory for iPhone 6S and because there isn’t a microSD slot, filling up those 16GB will happen in no time.

Software

The iOS has consistently been the backbone of the iPhones and the new installment, the iOS 9 offers the same durability and user-friendliness we were accustomed to and due to its understated tweaks over the years and the new added 3D touch, the iOS 9 is the greatest iPhone software to date.

As always, the iOS fasts and reactive, the App Store is still vibrant (and of better than Google Play Store) and the apps have gone through some transformations and upgrades.

The Apple Maps, now, has transit directions, there is a News app, that is rather simple, drawing topics from different sources in a magazine-style user interface. Notifications are now filtered by time, not by app and through the M9 coprocessor, Siri is always on stand by you can now you can wake it by yelling Hey Siri rather than clicking a button. Siri, also, can react to a great deal much more demands.

The 3D Touch is its main feature and although in its early stage, is employed the best with Apple’s Mail. You can preview messages, archive them or mark them as unread.

Battery Life

The iPhone 6S includes a non-removable 1715 mAh battery. Yes, you heard that right, the battery is in fact more compact, a decline from the iPhone 6’s 1810mAh.

There have been issues about the battery from the iPhone 6 and yeah, Apple didn’t quite addressed this matter. Anyway, the battery life averaged at 15 to 16 hours a day and there are a bunch of people who should recharge their iPhone 6S during the mid-afternoon.

It’s not like it isn’t logical, the good reason being actually the implementation of 3D Touch. The battery failed to feature ample space and they would like to keep the same design as iPhone 6. Nevertheless, there are bunches of smartphones that feature 4000mAh and battery life is generally a deciding factor for purchasers.

Verdict

Is iPhone 6S a wonderful smartphone? Yes, it is. It does have its exceptional attributes and they promise a lot in future revise. Is it actually worth upgrading over iPhone 5S? The users of iPhone 5S are the main target, the iPhone 6S being leagues ahead from all perspectives (better camera, larger screen, better display, higher performance, a lot more stable).

But can Apple sway iPhone 6 users to upgrade to 6S? Maybe. Right now, the iPhone 6S doesn’t give anything forward-looking and it is pretty near to the iPhone 6, but it may be worth getting a taste of these early installments (like 3D Touch) ahead of everyone, before it gets widespread. And if you intend to change from Android or Windows or you’re just interested precisely how iOS works, then the iPhone 6S is the very best choice.
