Apple iPhone 6s

Apple iPhone 6s product details

At first glance, the Apple iPhone 6s looks like a modest upgrade to the iPhone 6 from 2014. Still, the differences are big, especially when we put them all next to each other. And that is exactly what we are going to do here.

New dimension

From the very first, Apple adds a whole new dimension to the multi-touch display. We were used to gestures like pinching and swiping, but now you can go deep. Press harder on certain items to open a shortcut menu. Pressing hard on an app icon, for example, or within an app. Apple calls that 3D Touch and it should become second nature to those who work with these iPhone 6s. The technique is similar to the Force Touch feature in other Apple products. In apps such as Mail you can open a preview by pressing lightly, press a little harder than open the mail. And with a new, faster Taptic Engine, there's a slight vibration to give you feedback about what you're doing.

Live Photo

Another important difference the iPhone 6s has is its new camera. As always, it's called iSight and its resolution has been increased to 12 megapixels. Thanks to those 50% more pixels, photos and videos get a lot more detail. The Apple iPhone 6s automatically records a short video with sound when you take a picture. With this Live Photo, you can go back to that moment later. Simply click on the photo to get back to that moment. These Live Photos can also be set as background. And because the camera sensor is considerably enlarged, it is now also possible to record video in 4K resolution.

Retina Flash

The selfie camera of the Apple iPhone 6s has also been improved. The resolution of this has been increased to 5 megapixels. Now we see this more often on other phones. New is the way Apple is going to expose your selfies. There is no real flash on the front but instead a kind of virtual flash has been created. The screen will light up briefly and brightly to illuminate your self-portraits. Apple calls it Retina Flash, and it should be close to the flash on the back of iPhone 6s.
