As expected, Apple unveiled today the future of iPhone — the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
Referring to them as the "most advanced smartphones in the world," the new models offer more than just a larger screen new colors. The big new feature with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus is 3D touch, "a whole new interaction and dimension for how you experience your iPhone."
Improving upon the iPhones Multi-Touch, the 3D Touch offers more functionality through the recognizing how long your pressing the screen. 3D Touch works on both the home screen and inside the applications themselves, providing you with shortcuts depending on what you press and hold. An example shown included pressing and holding on the camera icon and having a menu pop up that offers to "take a selfie."
The future, ladies and gentlement.
Other than 3D Touch, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus comes with a new Apple-custom alloy shell with four different color finishes: Silver, Gold, Space Gray, and the new Rose Gold.
And becuase size matters, the iPhone 6S comes with a 4.7-inch Retina display, while the iPhone 6S Plus comes in a 5.5-inch Retina display made of new glass that's considered the strongest in the industry.
Other new features include Live Photos, an animated photo that provides you with some live action before or after the photo was taken on the new 12MP iSight camera. Apple says this has been created in a "space efficient way."
The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus will be available for pre-purchase on September 12th before releasing on September 25th. Pricing, of course, depends on the model you want. Here's Apple's updated pricing models.
Apple also introduced today an iPhone Upgrade Program for the United States, which allows you to get a new iPhone each year (with AppleCare+) starting at $32/month.
