iPhone 6s review and impresions

It's September so this means that the new iPhone has been launched. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. 

The major improvements are, a bigger camera, a 3D touch display, bigger RAM, a bigger processor.

We will begin with the iPhone 6s which has a 4.7" LED backlit IPS LCD display with a resolution of 750x1334, with a ion-strangthed glass that has a oleophobic coating. A cool new feature of the display is the 3D Touch function, that senses how hard you press on the screen, and gives you a new way that you can use your iPhone.

For example: if you press a little harder on a icon, a list of actions for that app will pop up.

The processor is a 1.8GHz dual core Apple A9. In terms of memory it comes in a 16GB, 64GB or 128GB version. The RAM memory has been doubled, now the iPhone 6s having 2 GB memory RAM.

The camera has been also improved to a 12 MP primary camera, that can now record 4K videos and simultaneous takes 8 MP photoes. The front camera is a 5 MP and uses the display as a dual tons flash when taking selfies.

Because of the improvement of the processor and RAM memory the battery is a little bit bigger.

The body is made of a stronger aluminum making it a little thicker and heavier than the iPhone 6.

In conclusion the iPhone 6s is capable of competing with the high-end smartphones. I personally can't wait for the games developers to use the 3D Touch in future games.
