The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, USA, stood agog, as thousand of Apple customers and fans alike thronged the scene to witness the official unveiling of the iPhone 6S, 6S plus, IPad Pro and Apple TV. The event was simply breath taking as Apple Inc’s management took time to reveal the outstanding features about their new devices. Everyone seem to be talking “Siri” these days, which is an intelligent part of Apple Inc’s iOS that uses a natural language interface to answer questions and make recommendations.

Perhaps, the most interesting part of the Siri event was the Unveiling of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Most people have tagged these set of smartphones as the most sophisticated in the world, owing to the type of high-end technologies included in its design. When you take a peek into these amazing smartphones, all you see is the future. The iPhone 6 was unveiled last year and was a huge success all around the world. Most people appreciated the fact that Apple listened to their pleas for a Smartphone with a bigger screen size, and they responded with the unveiling of the iPhone 6plus. The iPhone 6 Plus is a Phablet and packs a larger screen similar to what you’d find on android devices.

What’s new?

Yesterday, Apple turned up the heat on its competitors with the unveiling of the 6S and 6S plus. The external build is basically a gold aluminum finish but also comes in other colors such silver, gold and Space gray. The materials used in its display are one of the most sophisticated in the world, which makes the display twice as hard as the display featured in its predecessor. The 5.5-inch display is quite impressive, and very similar to ones you’d find on high-end Android devices. However, there is something peculiar about the iPhone 6’s display which has got the world talking. It’s the “3D Touch” feature.

3D Touch is the future

I had a glimpse of the iPhone 6S 3D Touch feature and I must say it’s simply breathtaking. Although I didn’t find it too new in terms of style and operation, especially from my Android’s perspective, it offered something previously not seen on Apple’s iPhones. Before the official launch of the iPhone 6S, rumors had it that Apple’s new Smartphone would feature what was popularly referred to as “Forced touch,” which a system that activates different functionality based level of pressure applied on the screen surface. Upon release of the IPhone 6S, Apple called this technology - 3D Touch. Most of its operation involves keeping finger constantly on the screen. Easily switch between apps by click-dragging your fingers across different apps and tabs. This feature gives you the ability to open up shortcuts and peek at items.

Processor and Camera

Apple launched its latest A9 chip with the unveiling of the iPhone 6S. This Chip possesses better stats than the A8 previously featured in its older editions, as it’s said to be 90% faster at GPU tasks and 70% faster at CPU task. This is quite impressive, almost twice as fast as the A8. This means that multitasking on the Iphone 6s plus is such a breeze. Also included in its development is the M9 co-processor that supplements the A9 chip, which means the iPhone 6C can handle more apps and task than previously anticipated.

This Smartphone also comes with a 12mp camera that provides unsurpassed quality in terms of video shoot and performance. Video enthusiast now have the ability to shoot 4K video, which means that you’d will get 4 times the video quality than the 1080p and 720p resolutions. Selfie lovers aren’t left out as the iPhone 6S now spots a 5mega pixel camera, which is great for taking cool selfie photographs. Unlike other smartphones, the iPhone 6S front facing camera now features a “True tone flash,” which helps in lighting up faces during selfie sessions.

Live Photos

Live photographs are yet another amazing feature you’d find in the new iPhone 6S as well as 6S plus. It’s simply a feature that combines still photos and videos in one. How does it work? When you take a photograph using the iPhone 6S, it captures a few seconds of video and sound, and then stores them as live photos. Click on each photo taken for 3 seconds to activate the live photo feature, and the photograph will play like a video for approximately 3 seconds.

The features listed above are definitely the strong points of the new iPhone 6S. Apart from that, all other specs seem to remain the same as those featured in the iPhone 6. The average price of iPhone 6S varies between N150,000 to N200,000(depending on the version), while the average price of the 6S plus varies between N180,000 to N220,000. Prices were reached after global market prices as well as importation cost were factored-in. With many people ranking iPhone 6S as the best Smartphone at the moment, it’s left to be seen if it actually lives up to the billing.
