What's New About iPhone 6s

As we all expected, Apple launched its new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus on September 9th at its annual launch event in San Francisco. Coming with a new color rose gold, iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6 Plus stay the same 4.7 and 5.5-inch Retina display. It is basically the same exterior design with iPhone 6 only hardwares inside from camera to processor much improved. Just like the CEO Tim Cook said, "While they may look familiar, we have changed everything about these new iPhones". The device now allows 3D Touch and with the improvement in camera, 4K video at 30 FPS is also supported.

How people consider this new iPhone? Opinions vary from person to person.The following is a summary of different medias' evaluation.

1."Wired" Magazine: 3D Touch is Apple's big new gaming innovation

Apple's new 3D touch-enabled screen takes multitouch to a new level by adding a third dimension: pressure. While using iPhone 6s, there will be a new interface "Peek" if you slightly add your press intensity, which allows you to get a preview of content from the screen surface with other elements appear in a virtual effect. And if you keep pressing you'll enter the content you selected so that you can quickly switch between applications. It uses the accelerometer to determine pressure levels with more accuracy so that the phone can tell the difference between mini taps and full taps. 3D-Touch can help you find the application quickly and make all the operations become more fast and direct.

The real problem lies with 3D Touch is that you never know where the hidden menu is. Also, some applications do not support this option, so you have to look for these hidden "treasure", which keeps many users away from exploring this new function. If I may quote from Wired, "3D Touch lets you 'see' what's inside whatever you're looking at; but how far it will let you look is difficult to say so far."

2.Technology Blog The Verge : The improvement of camera is of more significance

While iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s are basically the same from exterior design, the hardwares inside iPhone 6s, from camera to processor , are much improved.

In the past few years, camera phone has been very common. Basically every mobile phone is equipped with a powerful camera, but Apple's update of camera is revolutionary. Apple has long been in the leading position of producing excellent camera in smart phone yet sticking with an 8Mp primary camera. Apple focus on the overall quality of the photo, as well as the best automatic shooting function. This time Apple has made several significant improvements to the camera including a 12-megapixels and capable of recording 4K video rear camera and a 5-megapizels FaceTime HD camera. What's more, the function of capturing 1.5 seconds live photos can definitely enrich your album. Another improvement is that the shooting is much faster so that a little tremor won't matter.

3.USA Today: Apple's latest iPhone 6S is already a bore

Apple spent 40 minutes introducing this new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus and said they were "the most advanced" . But does Apple impress us as usual? I am gonna say no, considering it's just a slightly upgrade edition of iPhone 6.

3D Touch looks good. Users can adjust the application interface through a simple press, which allows you to open the application without returning to the main menu interface. But I don't think this new feature is cool enough to make millions of users to update their iPhone 6. As for the improvement of Apple's camera, a 12-megapixels and capable of recording 4K video rear camera is not that unique since other mobile phone manufacturers are also capable of producing. Besides, consumers won't care so much, if not photography fans. Maybe we should look forward to next September in consideration of Apple's tradition of making big break every two years.
