What’s New on iPhone 6s

Apple’s September 9th event was packed with amazing devices and features. The launch of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S plus was the most spectacular moment yet in Apple’s history. Here is what’s new on the headline-making iPhone 6S.

3 Things that are New on iPhone 6S

Camera

Finally, there is a huge upgrade to the iPhone 6S’ camera with a 12-megapixel iSight camera and a two-tone flash.

This means that there is an increase in the pixels, which improves the camera’s quality and detail. With the deep trench isolation technology embedded in the latest version of iOS for iPhone 6S, image quality won’t be degraded.

This technology separates the photodiodes to maintain accurate colors and limit noise in the photos. Autofocus is also faster as the sensor has 50{76ac33845123b25982ffda0eb6f606179ce899e677f3c86d035d7b9fa6b6d307} more focus pixels.

The iPhone 6S camera can also shoot 4K videos too, but you won’t be able to experience the total experience on the phone’s sub-4K screen. With a 5-megapixel front camera and “true tone” flash, the selfie cam lights up the phone’s main screen to produce a flash that matches the color the camera sees.

Live Photos is a new photo that acts like moving pictures in Harry Porter. When you touch the photo, it moves. The lives photos can even have sounds. These live photos can be used as wallpaper on your Apple watch and Facebook as well.

At the event, Apple showed off a couple of incredible images taken with the iPhone 6S, assuring the attendees that none of the photos were edited.

 

3D Touch

Apple’s has introduced a new multi-touch technology known as 3D touch. This is basically regular touchscreen with a third dimension: pressure. It’s similar to Force Touch on Apple Watch but has special features and different levels of pressure.

A light touch on the screen will preview a content, a further press with take you into the content you selected. It allows you to navigate in and out of where you are without leaving where you are.

With 3D touch, just a little pressure on can be registered on the screen, and the phone can differentiate between mini taps and full taps. There are special sensors that measure minute changes in the distance between the glass and sensors. This is combined with the accelerometer to determine pressure levels with more precision.

3D Touch is integrated into iOS 9 on many levels. To get into the app carousel, you no longer have to double tap the home button, just apply a little force on the edge of the screen. You can perform several gestures on your home screen, Mail, iMessage, Apple Maps and several third-party apps.

 

A9 Processor

Both the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are powered by Apple 64-bit A9 processor. With a new transistor architecture for a much better energy efficiency.

Apple claims the new processor is 70{76ac33845123b25982ffda0eb6f606179ce899e677f3c86d035d7b9fa6b6d307} faster than the predecessor at CPU tasks and 80{76ac33845123b25982ffda0eb6f606179ce899e677f3c86d035d7b9fa6b6d307} faster at graphics tasks as well. The M9 co-processor always runs all the time to track fitness. iPhone also 6S supports LTE-A.

These are the three biggest things in the latest iteration of the iPhone. Do you think Apple has brought in something great and new, or these have already been around in the Android ecosystem?
