Apple debuted the new pressure-sensitive touch screen technology and a new “rose gold” color alongside other beautiful features in the new Smartphone upgrade.
Tim Cook, the company’s Chief executive who unveiled the phone yesterday to its mammoth fans at the annual launch event in San Francisco, California, said “no product is more about innovation than the iPhone.”
Let’s take a look at some of the standout upgrades:
Brand new “force” touch
Just as anticipated the iphone 6s looks bigger and better and is somewhat identical to last year’s 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and a bundle of new features. Chief among them is a pressure-sensitive display, enabling a feature that Apple calls “3D Touch” technology.
3D Touch allows you to press down on the iPhone’s screen to pull up new menus, activate shortcuts, such as opening web links from within text messages without the need to exit and it allows you generally interact with the device in innovative ways.
Aerospace-grade aluminum/sturdier glass
The phone is also built out of several new materials, such as new aluminum, which Apple says is its own custom alloy. And its display is now covered with a new glass, the same Ion-X that’s used on the Apple Watch Sport.
You can bet that these changes are, at least in part, designed to make the phone less prone to bending, a problem iPhone 6 was much derided for.
Hardware upgrades
The new iPhone models, which will go on sale on September 25, also has an improved iSight 12-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of shooting 4K video, up to 12MP from the predecessors’ 8MP and front-facing 5MP lens.
Aside, its new feature tagged “Live Photos” creates a brief animation by extending the captured moment, stitching several frames together. This improvement is a major jump for Apple as the company has held onto its 8-megapixel sensors in its iPhone for years.
The iPhones 6s and iPhone 6s plus will run on iOS 9, with up to three hours longer battery life, plus a new Low Power Mode.
This updated operating system, which is currently in public beta, will arrive for phones on September 16.
