Yeah I saw the first one she posted last night and if you look at the time stamps on the bottom, the faster single core score was first. I asked if she could post the original multi core but didn't hear back.
Usually these devices are benched under ideal conditions so we can make equal comparisons. She had just finished restoring her device and so it was processing lots of stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if after a fresh boot with airplane mode on and everything if this thing doesn't bench a bit higher. Then we can compare it to the baselines of the other models more accurately. I think we'll end up with a multi core between 4600-4800. Over the past few weeks I've been thinking around 4900 but that may be a bit on the high side.
Something tells me there is more to it than that. A LOT more to it. If these processors were truly that good I’d be asking myself why we’re not seeing them in Macs, either for sale or as references hidden in the plists of OS beta builds.
Most mainstream Americans seem to prefer McDonalds, so I guess that proves they're the best restaurants with the best food in the country.
i don't mean turning the Sensor physically inside the Phone. More basically the design of the sensor ( mostly all) is wrong. It should be squared and the Phone should be able to use f.e. 16:9 holding vertically. So this should be the Innovation by Apple.
There seems to be a segment of users that always want something different than what's there.
I can't imagine having a smart phone without a case. Too expensive of a gadget to take changes with. On another note... I love what I'm seeing... very tempting to upgrade the Wife's iPhone5 to the 6s. Or, she can have my 6 and I'll take a new 6s?
I think it's highly unlikely that the iPhone 6s is directly editing full 4K video. More likely that Apple came up with a clever way to do the editing at a much lower resolution, while retaining the ability to apply the edits to the full resolution version when needed.
Overall, luck favors hotties throughout their life.
I know you're joking, but I knew once I saw her picture that someone would waste no time commenting on her looks. And we wonder why women are behind in this field.
The main reason, in fact the ONLY reason I upgrade my iPhone is for the camera.
That is the main thing I use my iPhone for (photos and videos).
Looking at these photos, regardless of the subject matter, they do indeed seem to have that awful noise-reduction that happens in low-light, introduced with the iPhone 6.
These photos might look OK at Instagram size but for anything bigger they look atrocious.
Yes, some of us want to use our iPhone photos at sizes larger than 3" x 3"...
When I first got my iPhone 6 Plus I was very disappointed in the low-light results.
I thought I had somehow got a faulty phone.
As has been mentioned here, the effect is like a watercolor painting - everything smeared
The fact they have not addressed this in the 6S camera is a shame.
I'll personally be waiting to see if Apple implement better tech into the 7, possibly incorporating what they acquired from the purchase of LinX Imaging: https://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/14/apple-acquires-linx-imaging/
To be fair I'm very happy with the results I get with the 6 Plus outdoors and inside (with sufficient or additional lighting). The camera is very capable.
The few 6S outdoor shots I have seen seem to look sharp and tonally even with the additional 4MP, but at this point they don't seem to be revolutionary.
I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 4S and the photographic jump between those two models was significant. In the case of the 6 to the 6S it doesn't appear to be so noticeable.
I'm very disappointed that Apple do not seem to have any killer 6S promotional still and video examples available.
As for the Vogue shots - the are pretty "meh". They don't really show off the camera's capabilities at all.
And why do Apple insist of handing a 'professional photographer' an iPhone and tell them to 'go shoot' with lackluster results? They could seek out one of the many talented iPhone-specifc photographers who really know how to get the best out of the device. It is patronizing to the photographers who shoot with iPhone.

The 4k option is interesting.
Believe or not, 'vertical video' is a 'thing' now.
Mainly for the reasons that many people view video content on their devices in portrait so it is starting to be shot professionally to accommodate that.
With 4k video you can shoot landscape and crop vertically to get full-res.
So while 'vertical video' has often been a sign of people not knowing what they are doing it is also not becoming an accepted format.
This NY Times feature on Justin Bieber is a good example.
Please disregard the subject matter and focus on the actual tech part.

PS: it seems pointless try to shoot decent video on anything but the 6 Plus / 6S Plus with its optical image stabilization. If any feature makes smart-phone video usable it's IOS. The rest is just 'shaky cell phone video'.

Which is just one of the reasons for using landscape orientation when taking video ......
Great that she got her phone early. I hope more folks here get their iPhones early too.
The more I look at the rose gold, the more it's not for me. It's nice to have choice.

There's no antenna line on the 5C! What's that about? Does the plastic make a difference in the antenna functionality...
I don't know if it's my iPad Air 2 or my eyesight but those pictures and 4K video don't look great at all. It somewhat matches the quality on 9to5mac at the baseball game. I know it's indoors/low light but I've seen much better from the S6 and G4 and dare I say the previous gen iPhone.
Lol really? Multi core on s6 is 5300, and single core performance is something that's been discussed numerous times. Stop spreading bs
I've never thought iphone camers were good, every shoot, even in bright sun looks overprocessed and just plain muddy and I've had almost every iphone since the original. Having said that, I have been shooting DSLRs for just as long so I recognize I am biased and the tiny phone camera will never compare. I havent shot with a standard point-and-shoot camera for awhile but from what I remember, I was surprised that I found the P&S quality to be of similar quality, so from that perspective, the iphone shots are pretty decent.
