Apple unveils new iPhone 6s

Katelyn Prendergast, For the Review

Apple revealed on Sept. 9 in San Francisco its newest iPhone models, the 6s and 6s Plus, which have the strongest and most durable shell that Apple has provided with any model thus far.

Apple created the 7000 Series aluminum alloy design that contains five percent zinc, which provides a 60 percent stronger framework than any previous iPhone model according to Apple. This makes the phone more durable and less likely to bend, unlike the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.

Some users of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus complained of their iPhones being bent or warped while being in their pockets without a protective case.

Externally, the new models will not be visibly different compared to the former models. However, the iPhone 6s will be half an ounce heavier than the iPhone 6, which is practically undetectable when holding them side-by-side.

There are various improvements to internal features of the new iPhone models. For example, the 6s will have a 12 mega- pixel rear camera rather than an eight megapixel rear camera on the 6. That provides a noticeable difference in the quality of pictures being taken.

A lthough, the built- in storage, music playback and video playback capacities remain the same when compared to the iPhone 6.

In contrast, the battery capacity in the 6s will decrease by 100-milliamp hour in comparison to the iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus features an LTE Advance that has twice as much speed than the other iPhone models. While using a wireless internet connection, this aspect of the 6s and 6s Plus will make downloading apps and browsing the web easier and faster for the users.

Apple has introduced the 3D Touch that is more intractable than any other screen on the iPhone models. It brings a new sensitivity to the user when taping the screen. According to Apple, you will not only see the effects of the 3D screen, but you will feel it too.

The iPhone 5, 5s, 6, and 6 Plus are available in gold, silver, and space gray. The new models, 6s and 6s Plus will be available in the existing colors, and the new rose gold.

Additionally, iOS 9 will be available in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. It is packed with new security, powerful features, and applications that are already installed on the phone.

To purchase the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the costs vary. Depending on the carrier, data quantity, contract information and insurance, the price of a new model ranges from $199 to $900. Pre-orders start on Sept. 12. New models are released on Sept. 25.

The iOS 9 will be made available from these models up to the most recent ones, iPhone 4s, iPod 5th generation, iPad 2, and iPad Mini. The free software update will start on Sept. 16.

Apple has also released information about the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard, and the Apple TV.
