Apple Launching iPhone 6s and 6s Plus With 3D Touch, 12MP Camera and A9 Chip on September 25

3D Touch, interesting for a 6S+ unless you have two hands. It will be a useful feature in the bottom half and right side of the display but its going to be hard to use on the left and top. I can reach all of my 6+ now but I don't think I can force touch at the edges away from my right hand one handed. Maybe if I went with the 6S model instead. I just don't know at the moment. I was reading rumors of a higher resolution display and it didn't make it. I will have to think about this one a little.

Nice to see 120FPS at 1080p. Very interested in the details on Apple Upgrade Program. I know I'm going to keep dreaming but I would really love to see Apple throw out some legit wireless charging for the 7.

Barely mentioned the iPad Mini 4, just to say it gets last years Air 2 specs, which I had hoped for. But this year the iPad Air 2 is the stepchild, no kind of update at all.
And although the iPad Pro looks fantastic, it wont fit in my back pocket, or a doctors lab coat for that matter.

Same

space grey used in the Apple Watch and new iPod

Then I'm really happy.

120fps bumped to 1080p, 240fps still at 720p

What is the advantage of having a force touch hardware vs a software based solution like holding longer?

Because it's slower. Beside that long presses already have existing applications like for example deleting apps.

Total buzzkill for me - I just want the 5s with Apple Pay basically. :-(

Same here.

 

[yegon]

My thoughts exactly!
Just makes the older models obsolete quicker, plus it's going to be really annoying switching to a non 3d touch iOS device like the iPad, really irritating in fact!

Not enamoured by 3D Touch either, but it's absence in older stuff wont speed up their demise. Only amongst forum nerds is a 18 month+ old phone anywhere near obsolete.

 

[haydn!]

Removed... I was wrong.

Too bad this will be one of the softest launches ever. Now that carrier subsidies appear to be going away.
I'm not paying $700 for a phone. Doubt most other folks will.

It s not a subsidy , it s a disguised high cost loan if you do the maths ...

 

[g0df4th3r]

Do you really think you'd be able to see the difference?

Then what's the point 4k recording?

Does anyone know if you need the 6S Force Touch in order to switch between apps by swiping from the edge of the screen?

I can forgive a lot of things, this having an outdated 12mp camera, still having 1GB ram, still being that expensive, but certainly not these horrible ****** colours that have been around for 3 generations now, and certainly not the ridiculous abusive 16GB memory in 2015.

It might have 2gb of ram. You won't know until ifix it or someone else announces it

They never mentioned RAM for Air 2 . If it's truly 70% faster CPU and 90% faster graphics (which is a huge upgrade!) I feel like it will have 2GB of RAM..but I could be wrong.

Regarding the camera, can someone tell me how focus pixels are measured, because it looks like the 6S has less of them.

6s Plus is 20g heavier than the 6 plus... :/

Great. Seems like they raised the prices in Germany, again. The iPhone 6s models are now 80 € more expensive when compared to the entry level prices of the iPhone 6 last year.

And the Finnish prices are going to be a little bit higher than the German ones. Pathetic 16GB base storage and a price increase? Thanks for nothing.

 

[AppleInLVX]

Alright folks, battery life time.

TLDR: it's the same.

It might be the same on paper, but I fear real-world use will suffer. I don't see anything that they talked about that would indicate the smaller battery could deliver the same up time given the improvements inside. I guess you never know until they get in the wild. I hope that there's some magic here that makes it possible.

I love iPhone launch, time to make some $$$

Swiping the edge is already used as a back gesture so I don't think so.

 

[Roadstar]

Whoops, duplicate post due to forum lag. Move along... (mods, you know what to do).

 

[XMZ-250]

6s Plus is 20g heavier than the 6 plus... :/

And 0.2mm thicker. And camera still protruded.

 

[Ipadlover29]

6s plus has optical image stabilization for videos.

 

[Andrei90]

I thought that the separate name was a little strange too. I thought at first it meant there wasn't feedback, but then they showed it did...

There must be something different enough between them that they see them possibly being used differently in the future that they wanted it to be distinct.

I haven't usted and Apple Watch so Correct me if i'm wrong bit I believe you Only have the option to touch and fource touch on the Apple Watch, 2D. On the iPhone 6s you can touch, peek and touch harder flor a 3rd acción, 3D touch.
