iPhone 6s: You want it and need it

A few months earlier Apple released the iPhone 6S and if you’re not actually familiar with the Apple habit you may well be puzzled concerning this brand new iPhone as it appears the same to the iPhone 6 but fear not they are not the similar. On the inside at least.

There is better components, improved camera, sturdier case, the brand-new 3D Touch and (eventually) 2GB of RAM. Over the years the ‘S’ always introduced something fresh to the plate, the iPhone 4S put in Siri and the iPhone 5S had the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

The major inclusion to the iPhone 6s is unquestionably the new pressure-sensitive touchscreen technology named the 3D Touch that although at the moment is very remarkable and are going to most certainly transform into much more interesting when more apps are really produced for it.

Overall, what Apple must do is to convince people that the S version of iPhone 6 brings in the improvement, even if there are a great deal of other smartphones to pick from and unfortunately the iPhone 6S doesn’t feel like a game changer, it only has some understated enhancement that do have a bunch of potential with future updates or installments.

Concept

Initially glimpse, the iPhone 6S feels similar to the iPhone 6, it has the very same rounded corners and edges, but there are some slight style changes.

The frontal of the smartphone is currently better, the glass being less likely to pulverize if the phone is dropped and finally, the iPhone 6S is now constructed from the 7000 series aluminum.

As said in the past, these kinds of transformations are slight and will more than likely go unheeded by most. The volume buttons, the silencer switch and the power key are in the similar place as in 2015 and this isn’t a negative factor because the phone is really easy to use with one hand and the buttons are exactly where they should be.

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

Design

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

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

While the resolution keeps the same there is just one major inclusion from the in 2015’s front runner. You are now presented with the 3D Touch which offers a totally new way to interact with the iPhone.

This introduces entirely new opportunities. If today you can merely open up pop-up windows, set off quick actions or expand, preview links and messages and there is a lot that can be done in the foreseeable future.

Operation

The iPhone 6S showcases better components 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 converts into less complicated multitasking, better handling of graphically-demanding activities (like playing games), there was no hesitation, no lost frames and the phone never delayed while we used it.

But there are some flaws. 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.

Applications

The iOS has constantly been the backbone of the iPhones and the new installment, the iOS 9 offers the same reliability and user-friendliness we were accustomed to and because its refined tweaks throughout the years and the new added 3D touch, the iOS 9 is the greatest iPhone software to this day.

As consistently, the iOS hurries and responsive, the App Store is still dynamic (and of better than Google Play Store) and the apps have experienced some adjustments and update.

The Apple Maps, now, has transit directions, there is a News app, that is rather basic, pulling out topics from different sources in a magazine-style user interface. Notifications are now filtered by time, not by app and thanks to the M9 coprocessor, Siri is always on stand by you can now you can wake it by hollering Hey Siri as opposed to clicking a button. Siri, also, can respond to a great deal more orders.

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

Battery Life

The iPhone 6S offers a non-removable 1715 mAh battery. Yes, you heard that right, the battery is actually small, 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 managed this complication. In any case, the battery life averaged at 15 to 16 hours a day and there are a lot of people who need to recharge their iPhone 6S during the mid-afternoon.

It’s not like it isn’t reasonable, the reason being actually the execution of 3D Touch. The battery failed to feature sufficient space and they would like to keep the same layout as iPhone 6. Still, there are lots of smartphones that feature 4000mAh and battery life is typically a deciding factor for shoppers.

Final thought

Is iPhone 6S an outstanding smartphone? Yes, it is. It does have its unique components and they offer a lot in future improve. Is it worthy of 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 persuade iPhone 6 users to upgrade to 6S? Maybe. At the moment, the iPhone 6S doesn’t provide something advanced and it is pretty close 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 wide-spread. And if you wish to switch from Android or Windows or you’re just interested exactly how iOS works, then the iPhone 6S is the greatest choice.
