Apple just announced the iPhone 6s during its huge press conference in California on Wednesday. The device has long been expected and was preceded by plenty of rumors that revealed plenty of details around the smartphone. Still, Apple managed to squeeze in a few surprises.\u00a0\u201cThe only thing that\u2019s changed is everything,\u201d Tim Cook said.<\/p>\n

It features, as rumors said, four metal finishes, including silver, gold, space gray and rose gold, and is made out of series 7000 aluminum that\u2019s stronger than last year\u2019s aluminum. The iPhone 6s has the same\u00a0size\u00a04.7-inch screen as last year, but it features a new \u201c3D Touch\u201d element, which sounds similar to Force Touch. Apple says it\u2019s adding a \u201cnew dimension\u201d into the iPhone, that it calls \u201cthe next generation of multitouch.\u201d Like Force Touch, it recognizes force for \u201cpeek\u201d and \u201cpop.\u201d<\/p>\n
If you press lightly, you\u2019ll see a \u201cpeek\u201d of content. If you press harder, you\u2019ll get a \u201cpop\u201d message with more options, like a brand new menu. It\u2019s \u201cdeeply integrated into iOS 9,\u201d Apple said. The tech is integrated into the backlight of the display, Apple said, and it is capable of measuring microscopic changes in each touch. Hold on the Messages icon on the homescreen, for example, and you might get a menu to quickly text or call a specific contact.<\/p>\n
The new iPhone 6s is powered by a new A9 chip, the fastest Apple has ever offered. Graphics are 90 percent faster than last year, and CPU performance is 70 percent faster. It also has a new always-on M9 processor, which is built right into the A9 processor this time around.<\/p>\n
Other features include second-generation Touch ID and a brand new 12-megapixel iSight camera, which has 50 percent more pixels than before, Apple said, noting that it focused on skin tone and color accuracy. It also supports 4K video, a feature fans have been waiting for. Up front, Apple added a new 5-megapixel FaceTime HD camera with a True Tone Retina flash, which will actually take advantage of the display instead of a standalone LED flash.<\/p>\n
Another new feature on the camera is called \u201cLive Photos,\u201d and it allows you to take a normal photo as always. But there\u2019s now a default option that records 1.5 seconds on each side of the photo, providing an animated capture moment when you tap each photo that\u2019s been snapped with this. It\u2019s supported across devices, too, including the iPad, Macs and the apple Watch.<\/p>\n
For data, LTE speeds are twice as fast as before with 23 bands of LTE support. Wi-Fi supports up to 866Mbps, up to twice as fast as the iPhone 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
