Lucky Customer Receives Rose Gold iPhone 6s Nearly Five Days Early [Updates]

I have to laugh when people say that a phone camera has "DSLR quality", and this is a perfect illustration: these indoor photos all have so much noise reduction that the fine details are lost. It's great for a phone camera and I'm sure those images look great on that small screen, but let's nobody pretend they're anywhere near what a proper DSLR would be able to accomplish.

I'll be honest : it looks very ugly,pale copper pink with white rubber bands,it's just awful.
some people are excited,because of the novelty of the color,but it really looks terrible.

People said the same for the gold which I think is the best color. I haven't seen it in person but it looks bronze to me. Nothing wrong with that.

The link you just posted rates the S6 Edge at 4393. And where did you get the 4795? The story we are commenting on says 4293.

The phone had already throttled (working a while) to get 4300. We don't know the non throttled multicore bench, the 4800 was the floating point multicore, but it is likely not that far from that.

Lol really? Multi core on s6 is 5300, and single core performance is something that's been discussed numerous times. Stop spreading bs

I have no clue where you find the 5300. Geekbench's Android benchmarks sheet says 4400, not 5300. The A9 gets 4406 in this benchmark on the multi-core score which is over 4400 last time I checked.

since iphone 5s could be the king in the multiscore as well in those days...iphone 6s is not, only in single core
4200 is less than 4700 or even 5200

That was 4300 (you know how, round up...), and throttle, the non throttled output, the one your talking about from Samsung is likely near 4700 (since the non throttled multicore floating score was about 4800).

Also, we're talking about a phone that exists RIGHT NOW, not some fairy dust future phone...

BTW, since efficiency in using many cores in real applications, not benchmarks, is still pretty bad, that's why the multicore result is less important in real life, especially on a phone were your not running photoshop.

Apple usually beats everyone in GPU speed, that's something that you fail to mention.
 
The simple fix to these bands on making them look good with this design is coloring them the same color as the phone.

They totally over thought their design on this. It's odd.

For now, I can forgive the bad quality pictures simply because I feel as if the person who took them doesn't know what they are doing. Filming vertical video and taking pictures in low light without checking the focus or seemingly doing anything but pointing and shooting. This is a typical smartphone user, just doing what comes natural without any consideration for how it may affect the picture quality. There's nothing wrong with that but if you want better picture quality you will have to try harder.

Hopefully when we have the phone in our hands, with a little bit of care in the way we take pictures, they will come out better than this.

For everyone who says "It's a smartphone camera, what do you expect", take a look at some of the shots from a Galaxy S6 & LG G4, even in low light they do very well for smartphone cameras, very much better than what we have seen here so far. Now she did get a 6S not a 6S Plus right, the 6S doesn't have OIS so it may not do as well as the 6S Plus in low light. Comparatively, the Galaxy S6 and LG G4 both have OIS.

The Geekbench score looks great and I'm very excited to get my 6S Plus, but my pre-order is on a 3-4 week wait :(

The tests for S6 and Iphone 6 in low light are pretty much equal when not used on a tripod, slight advantage in picture quality for S6, but it is slower to focus and slower shot to shot (in full daylight, the S6 has a much better picture quality than the Iphone 6).

OIS allows to prolong exposure to counter hand shake, but in candids, it's often the subject that moves or the whole hand that moves (quickly putting the phone in position), OIS doesn't help for that, especially in low light. Quick focus in those conditions is as useful as OIS.

Shooting in low light without a flash (and direct strong lighting has its own issues) doesn't give great shots generally no matter what phone camera you use. But, people mostly post these things for small screens of lower resolution than their cameras, so it's still OK.

Have you seen what the LG G4 is capable of? 1.8, tack sharp and great low light performance (for a phone, of course). I'm doubtful the 6s+ will match it. The 6s lacks OS, so that's not even worth the comparison.

The low light performance is about the same as the Iphone 6 (slightly better), but it is slower to focus and shot to shot. Those that do in depth reviews, like dpreview, didn't say at all that the S6 was crushing it in low light. They did say it was crushing it in good light though; and on that, I agree.

This is a phone, not camera. So, why all are so focused on the photo quality?? If I need good, perfect photos, I would use my camera, not my phone

Visual designer Adrienne Alpern from San Diego, California is one of the first customers to receive the brand new iPhone 6s, nearly five whole days before the latest smartphone launches in the U.S. and eleven other countries.

Adrienne shared photos of the new iPhone 6s on her Twitter account on Monday afternoon, noting that her pre-order from AT&T arrived much earlier than expected. The all-new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus officially launch September 25.

Apple each year requests that couriers like UPS and FedEx hold new iPhone deliveries until the same day the smartphones become available in stores, but a few lucky customers often receive their devices ahead of time due to logistical error.

Adrienne also shared Geekbench 3 screenshots that show the iPhone 6s has a single-core score of 2292 and a multi-core score of 4293. The iPhone 6s is also benchmarked against several other iPhone and iPad models.

​
Additionally, she shared a short 4K video shot with the iPhone 6s.

​
iPhone pre-orders in the U.S. can be tracked with FlightAware and UPS.

Update: We've received full resolution images from Adrienne taken with the iPhone 6s.

Wow! She's one of those cool people with an upright monitor! Wish I was cool like that.

Note to self; there are NO vertical video monitors.

And she's a designer? Wow...

Cheers,
Cameron
