What is the iPhone 6s release date?
Hello and welcome to the show.
My name is Alex, and this is TechFlow.
So the iPhone 6s has been out for 2 months, and it's given us ample
time to test this thing! Let's see what we think of it.
So, like with all "S" iterations of the iPhone, the design has stayed pretty much stayed the same. There is only a few small changes
like the "S" badge on the back of the phone and there's no FCC markings to get rid of
the clutter. There is also a pink, ah sorry I mean, "Rose gold" coloured iPhone. It's
exclusive to the iPhone 6s thus far, and that's the easiest way to tell them apart from any
other phone. Like in Apple's S series lineup, it's not what's visible that's changed, it's
what's inside that's changed. The new 6s uses what's called 7000 series Aluminium, which
makes it stronger and so it won't bend easily. We all know what happened with the last iPhone.
And it also gives it some welcomed added weight. It's also a little bit taller and thicker
than the previous generation iPhone 6. Pretty much any iPhone case will work with the 6s,
from what I've tried so far anyway. But other than that, everything else is basically the
same: the button placements, camera, microphones, everything. The thing I've noticed most about
this new iPhone, is the rapid Touch ID sensor. No, seriously. This thing is rapid. All you've
got to do, is literally place your finger on the home button for literally 2 milliseconds,
and the phone has already read your fingerprint. Honestly, this thing reads your fingerprint
so fast, it's a little bit scary. At times, it's also a little bit annoying. If you want
to read a notification and you put your finger on the home button to wake the phone to read
said notification, the phone is like nope and puts you on the home screen. "I wanted
to read that notification, where is it?" Talking about the rapid Touch ID, the phone itself
is just absolutely rapid. It's got 2gb of RAM which is plenty enough to run iOS and
anything you can throw at it. The GPU really benefits and shines with the extra power of
the A9 chip and I've noticed a constant 60 frames per second pretty much all over the
operating system, whether your multi-tasking, on the home screen, or in an application,
it just flows. I really think Apple have nailed the phone, it's just so fast, so quick and
responsive, even coming from an iPhone 6, it's just absolutely rapid. Now, there's two
things that have changed on this phone. That's the camera and the display. The display is
now rocking what Apple call 3D touch, which basically turns your entire display into a
pressure sensor. The screen looks and feels identical to previous models, but now you
can apply force to access more information. Like, in Safari or messages, there is two
gestures called a peek and a pop. So if you want to check out something, you can peek
in to it. If you press harder, you pop into that information and it puts it in fullscreen.
Hopefully developers will jump on this and integrate it in to their applications because
it's very iOS orientated at the moment, but I'm sure it will be a very valuable feature
in the future. #NoHomeButton. Now, the last said thing is the Camera. That's it hardware
wise, it's pretty much the same optics, same microphones, the same everything. It's just
now 12 megapixels. iPhones generally take gorgeous photos, and the camera app just flys.
It's so simple to use, and handles exposure, dynamic range and white balance with a breeze.
So what I'm saying is that pretty much anyone without any sort of camera knowledge, can
pick up this phone and take a photo, and it will be pretty much just be perfect. Also,
the jump to 12 megapixels, Apple have also squeezed in 4k video. Yes, crispy 4k and I'll
tell you now absolutely gorgeous. Colours pop, the depth of field is awesome, and gives
for a really cinematic look. It's detailed without over sharpening. And there's also
a new feature in the app called Live Photos, I don't really use this myself, but it's pretty
cool. All you've pretty much got to do, is just Force touch or 3d Touch the photo and
you can see the photo come to life. It records 1.5 seconds before and after you take the
shot. And there's even a feature where if the gyroscope in the phone detects you put
the phone down right after taking the photo, it won't record the live photo. You really
have to hold your phone there 1.5 seconds before and after you press the shutter button.
And the last thing: Apple, seriously, seriously, you give me a phone with live photos and 4k
video, but you still offer a 16gb model. Are you taking the? But really, other than that,
it's a really solid phone and you just can't go wrong with it or pick a fault with it.
It takes everything good from the 6 series and adds a few extra features and fixes what
was wrong in the 6 series. It's just gorgeous, well done Apple. So guys, I hope you have
