On the box there’s the silhouette of the iPhone in black on white, but an image. The photo shows the color of the device inside, as well as the apple on the front of the box. There are four colors available for the iPhone and 6s 6S Plus: sidereal gray with black front; silver and white; gold and white; pink and white gold. The latter is the only unusual color, so it is the only choice for those who want to show everyone that you have an iPhone 6s and not the model of last year. It’s a delicate shade that changes with the light and goes from ‘gold to a pale pink decided. Perfect for ladies and girls, it is not impossible to imagine even for a male audience (irony and great attention to the look, however, it is necessary requirements). For the rest, once opened, the two new iPhone are the same as two old iPhone, in part with an “S” on the back.
A matter of weight
it feels to distinguish what the eye does not grasp: iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are less slippery, they are realized in a different type of aluminum, the same of the Apple Watch. More solid and rugged, more resistant to scratches, but is heavier, so the iPhone 6s increased from 129 to 143 grams, while the 6s Plus up to 192 grams against 172 grams of the previous model. The 4.7-inch model as a whole remains very manageable, but the 20 grams more than make living with the iPhone 6 Plus more challenging: it is impossible to keep it in the pocket of a shirt, but you can see also in that of a jacket. Also it contributes to the increase of weight of the display window, which move in the model gains in strength and endurance, but lost in lightness. So a quick comparison with the Galaxy S6 + Edge, shows how the Samsung weights 39 grams lighter and generally be more compact, while mounting a 5.7-inch display versus the 5.5 iPhone 6 Plus.
Speed
By submitting 3GS in 2009, Steve Jobs explained that the “s” stood for “speed”, speed. The same happens with the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus: previous models were already far from slow, the current ones are fast. The new A9 processor, which offers up to 70 percent more capacity for data processing and 90 percent more graphics power: some sites have recognized as the A9 chip performance is comparable to that of the MacBook. Faster even fingerprint recognition (and not only to unlock the screen or buying apps, but also at the time of setting, for which just a few seconds). It improves reception wi-fi thanks to MIMO antennas; but there should also be some improvements in data transmission via cellular network 4G, which now reaches a theoretical limit of 300 Mbps, enabling operators Italian.
Magic touch
In the use of every day, the most important news of the last Apple smartphone, however, is another . It’s called 3D Touch and is an evolution of the multi-touch with the first iPhone that marked the debut of a new era for the interaction between man and machine. Today we find quite natural to touch a screen, maybe one day it will be just as obvious that at the moment is a unique feature of the iPhone 6s, and that is that the screen is sensitive not only to the two dimensions, height and width, but also in a third : the depth. That’s where the name: Touch 3D technology, is an evolution of the Force Touch used for the first time on Apple Watch and soon passed to the computer (works like the trackpad on the new MacBook and MacBook Pro). A sensor detects the pressure of the finger on the screen and an engine vibration simulates a click, but there is actually no moving parts.
A new language
The effect is similar to the shutter button of a camera, where light pressure is used to focus, and a more decisive captures the image. With the iPhone functions change depending on the app: pressing the icon of the camera, for example, opens a menu from which you can directly access the front camera (for selfie) to back (for regular photos), or shoot a video or a movie in slow motion. It takes a few minutes to understand how it works, then the use is quite intuitive. Pressing the icon of messages, contacts appear newer, and the same happens with the phone. Inside the app, the 3D touch reduces the steps to do things, and will speed a bit ‘all. In the email, for example, you can take a look at an incoming message by simply pressing the preview: so you can decide whether to delete the email or think about later; pressing deeper, you really do get in the mail and you can respond immediately.
Peek and Pop
After you tap, swipe and pinch, the two new gestures are called peek and pop. Along with the new terms, the language of human machine is enriched by new signals to vibration: to communicate that an app is not yet enabled for 3D Touch and then crush the icon does not need, for example, the iPhone 6s uses two short vibrations separated by a minimum interval. it is as if a person did not shake his head or with his finger: hard to say which mental mechanism is established, but it is perceived now as a negative response. The 3D Touch is just the beginning, and over time will multiply the app compatible: when the are several Apple, but also several third-party, from Instagram. A similar solution could also arrive on the next generation of Android smartphones, but for now the iPhone 6s is the only to have it implemented; Mate S Huawei coming in November it adopted a simplified, more dubious utility.
More megapixels for all
Apple has improved optics and revised the camera sensor back, and now the photo quality It is superior to those of the previous model, although not as much as would suggest the numerical data (from 8 to 12 megapixels). The higher resolution makes it more effective digital zoom, and helps in low-light conditions, where the images are less disturbed. The front camera is now 5 megapixels, and there is an ingenious lighting system that turns the display into a flash for selfie (those with a Mac will find some analogy with the operation of Photo Booth). Again, the main difference between the two models is the optical image stabilizer, present only on the iPhone Plus 6s. With video timelapse the result is excellent, even when you are walking while shooting. Speaking of movies, a new iPhone 6s is shooting in 4K: many flagship smartphones already offer the high definition video, Apple adds, however, a version of the app iMovie for editing and assembly optimized for new format (but beware: a minute came to occupy 375 MB of storage space).
The photos come to life
At the storage space you have to be careful even with Live Photos, another of the innovations of the iPhone Plus 6s and 6s. is a hybrid between photo and video, a bit ‘as Zoe Htc: Recording only a second and a half of footage before and after taking the picture, so what you see is not only the time of the click, but also the context of the photo. And, just like in a video, there is also the sound. But compared to a regular photo, a Live Photo occupies twice the memory than a regular photo, and you can only share with those who have a device Apple (yes, even Mac and Apple Watch): all others will see an image static.
The battery, finally, it seemed at least equal to the previous model, but here as in all devices with iOS9, the Energy Saving mode allows you to further reduce power consumption and increase the autonomy of even a ‘ Now.
The same but different
From the birth of the iPhone has followed a cycle of annual renewals, alternating radical renewals and enhancements. The new models really brought always integers, those redirected always added an “s” at the end. This time, the changes are not just, and compared with other brands the step up from the previous generation is more decisive. Where competitors renew the design and update the hardware to the latest processors, Apple leaves unchanged the external appearance to rethink everything that’s inside. Who has an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus can be expected, for others the new model with 3D Touch is a glimpse into the future of smartphones.
Prices: iPhone 6s starts from € 779 for the 16GB model, and € 889 for the 64GB model and € 999 for the 128GB model. iPhone 6s Plus starts at € 889 for the 16GB model, and € 999 for the 64GB model and € 1,109 for the 128GB model.
