On September 9, Apple introduced new products, including the new iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 6s. In this article we will talk about it, more precisely about what is new in it; for this purpose we will compare it with the previous generation. For comparison, let’s take the older models of this and last year - iPhone 6s Plus And iPhone 6 Plus
Design
Here is the first good news for lovers of variety, 2 new body colors have appeared - gold and “rose gold”, they look cool, I think the new colors will find their audience:
The new iPhone 6s/6s Plus will be available in four colors:
- "pink gold"
- gold
- silver
- "gray space"
Internal memory capacity
If the iPhone 6 had 2 options - 16 or 64 GB of memory, then the iPhone 6s has another version available - 128 GB internal memory
Display
The main change is the new 3D Touch technology its essence is that the sensor recognizes the force of pressing the screen and, depending on it, different actions occur. It sounds interesting, but we will learn about the real benefits from reviews of real users :) Other display characteristics have not changed compared to the iPhone 6
Dimensions and weight
The dimensions of the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus remained almost the same as last year’s models, and were:
- for iPhone 6s Plus 158.2×77.9×7.3 mm
- for iPhone 6s 138.3×67.1×7.1 mm
But the weight has changed significantly; new models have become heavier:
- iPhone 6s Plus 192 grams vs. 172 grams iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone 6s 143 grams vs. 129 grams iPhone 6
Perhaps newer models use a more powerful battery.
CPU
The new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus use new A9 chip, Apple claims that thanks to him CPU performance increased by 70%, A graphics performance by 90% compared to last year’s models, but you can’t tell from the chart, we’re waiting for real tests :) 
Connection
In communication modules new iPhone models the following changes have occurred:
- a regime appeared 4G LTE Advanced vs 4G LTE
- added to Wi-Fi MIMO technology support(increases throughput WiFi)
- Bluetooth 4.2 instead of Bluetooth 4.0
Touch ID
Fingerprint ID sensor second generation— How noticeable the changes will be is unknown.
Camera
The main camera in the new iPhone 6s has become 12 Megapixels, versus 8 Megapixels for the iPhone 6s. Recording mode has appeared 4K video, which was not in last year's model.
The front camera has become 5 Megapixels versus 1.2 in last year’s model and also appeared in the new iPhone flash for front camera
Battery
Duration of operation in the new iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 6s remained exactly the same as in last year's models:
That's all, the remaining differences are either not significant at all, or these functions depend solely on the software and not on the hardware.
Price and release date
On September 12, pre-orders for new models begin in the United States; those who want them will most likely receive them within a month. The new iPhone will appear in Russia and other countries in the next 2 months.
Cost of new models in USA(the cost of versions with 16 GB of internal memory is indicated; if the memory capacity increases, the cost will be higher):
- iPhone 6s – from $649
- iPhone 6s Plus – from $749
Based on these data, we can assume the approximate cost of new products in Russia:
- iPhone 6s - from 55,000 rubles
- iPhone 6s Plus - from 62,000 rubles
A detailed description and characteristics of the iPhone 6s can be seen on the official Apple website in Russia www.apple.ru
Bottom line
If we globally compare the new generation iPhone and last year’s iPhone, the main differences are the higher performance of the new models in games and more. a high resolution both cameras. Otherwise the devices are similar.
Owners of an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus will not feel much difference from the change to the new generation, so if I were them, I would wait for the next model.
And if you are buying an iPhone for the first time, you can wait for the start of sales in Russia and if the price difference between 6 and 6s is not significant, still buy a newer model.
Model Apple iPhone 6S entered the market not so long ago - a little over 2 years ago, but has already managed to win the interest of many lovers of Apple gadgets. Smartphone iPhone version 6S is not much different in appearance from its predecessor, the sixth model. Although this is to be expected: usually new iPhone from Apple, which has the prefix “S” or “PLUS” in its name, simply includes new functions (or improved old ones).
Is it worth buying an iPhone 6S and also full review iPhone 6 version S – discussed below.
The peculiarities of the iPhone 6S lie in its technical characteristics, which have changed somewhat compared to previous versions of Apple smartphones. Short description The review of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S models revealed the following main characteristics:
- iPhone 6S model year of manufacture – 2014 iPhone 6s chips.
- Processor - Apple A9, 2 cores, 2 GHz.
- RAM in the iPhone 6S - 2 GB RAM, 16/64/128 GB of memory to suit the user's needs.
- Display (diagonal and resolution) - 4.7″, 1334×750 pixels, 326 pixels/inch.
- Camera: 2 MP + 5 MP.
- Features and special capabilities of iPhone 6S - Touch ID 2.0, 3D Touch, 4K video recording.
- iPhone 6S weight - 143 grams.
So, from the above characteristics it is clear that the Apple iPhone 6S is a rather miniature smartphone model, especially considering its functionality. The iPhone 6S gadget and its weight and thickness do not frighten you with its dimensions. By the way, the thickness of the new phone is just over 6.7 mm. Considering how much the Apple iPhone 6S weighs, as well as its dimensions, we can say that this gadget is not heavy, but quite neat.
The Apple iPhone mobile phone - and what the 6S version looks like - is shown below.
Is it worth buying an iPhone 6S, given the above characteristics and appearance of this gadget, each user must decide for himself - depending on which functions of the smartphone are most important to him.
Has the iPhone 6S changed, and is it the right gadget?
Many stores in the Russian Federation have already started selling the Apple iPhone 6S, positioning this model as a profitable phone with improved functionality compared to other versions. What are the features of the new iPhone and whether it is worth taking the 6S version is analyzed further.
Inspecting the appearance of the gadget, you will notice that the camera in the Apple iPhone 6S, as before, protrudes slightly on the surface. The antenna strips are also preserved in the same place.
As for drastic changes, take at least the new color of the six, defined by the manufacturer as “rose gold”. Indeed, it is a deep and rich shade of pink that borders on yellow. It is not pretentious or acidic, but noble and restrained. This smartphone model should be on par with the most the best gadgets, because probably many consumers will consider it the best and will definitely purchase it. Moreover, the spectacular appearance of the gadget comes with rich iPhone features and the presence of powerful cores in 6S.
The number of sales of iPhone 6S in Russia, despite the crisis, is continuously growing. The growth of iPhone 6S sales in our country is facilitated by such technical characteristics of the iPhone 6S version as:
- Powerful processor.
- A large amount of RAM in the iPhone
- The presence of 2 cores.
- Such a parameter, so small dimensions.
The instructions for the gadget of the six S model say that it is made of high-quality new material - seven-thousand-series aluminum. This material is more durable and helps preserve the smartphone body in case of minor mechanical damage. Thanks to this, the glass elements of the phone have also become more resistant to shocks and falls.
The Touch ID scanner is as fast and convenient as possible – another important advantage of the Six S, which allowed the smartphone to successfully launch in Russia and generate great consumer demand. After all, thanks to this technology, it has become possible to instantly pay for purchases in stores. The number of sales of the smart gadget iPhone 6S in Russia is growing steadily every month.
Processor and core of iPhone six version S
The processor in this version of the iPhone is more powerful than in earlier versions, and its speed is increased by 70% compared to the usual six gadgets from Apple. As for the graphics processor, its operating speed has been increased almost 2 times – by 90%. This allows avid gamers to get a unique pleasure from games, because applications and mobile games in the S version they respond instantly.
The increased power of RAM and cores also allows you to enjoy complex games to the maximum. Regarding the cores, let us recall that in the improved version of the six there are 2 of them, which means that the functionality of the gadget has increased significantly.
The gadget contains wireless connections, namely, 4G LTE Advanced networks and 23 LTE bands. According to reviews from many users, problems with the iPhone version 6S practically do not arise when downloading various applications from the Internet. Everything happens quite quickly and without interference.
The operating system, as shown by the experience of the very first users of the iPhone Six S model, who managed to evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of the gadget, works much better than in previous versions smartphones from Apple. We are talking about the iOS 9 operating system, but updated to version 9.0.1.
iPhone 6s chips
Of course, all of the above advantages of the Six S over older versions of iPhones are important, but the most important feature of this gadget model. According to numerous user reviews, this is still 3D Touch technology, which opens up many possibilities for users.
Reference. 3D Touch is a screen substrate technology that allows the iPhone to recognize the power of pressing and its duration, as well as the force of pressure on the display.
What does 3D Touch technology give to a real user:
- Move between two simultaneously running applications.
- Working in live photographs.
- Quickly view mail, individual letters, archive and delete letters.
- Ability to customize the function to your own pressing force through the corresponding menu.
What changes has the iPhone 6S camera undergone?
Speaking about the main camera of the gadget, it should be noted that its superiority over earlier versions is immediately evident, because Almost everything has improved - optics, resolution, matrix. Photography enthusiasts now have the opportunity to take pictures in 4K format. The shooting resolution can be selected as in the camera settings. The same is true in the settings of the iPhone itself.
Live Photos mode is an interesting new feature of the iPhone 6S, which allows you to capture frames half a second before the actual frame was taken and within a second after. As a result, a 3-second video and, in fact, the main photo will be saved in the smartphone’s memory.
By the way, you can start displaying photos using the 3D Touch technology mentioned above.
Difficulties in handling the Apple 6S smartphone
Like any mobile device, even the most perfect, Apple smartphone The 6S is not without its flaws. How to fix the most common problems that often arise among owners of the Six S is described below.
So, the most frequently encountered difficulties are:
1 Rapid discharge of the battery, which sometimes has to be recharged several times a day. To avoid this, you need to go to the “Settings” - “General” - Content Update menu and press the “off” button. 2 System hangs. If this happens infrequently, you need to try to reset by holding two buttons - the “Home” and the power key. If the device freezes too often, it may be faulty and you need to contact a service center. 3 Chaotic activation of 3D Touch. According to Apple specialists who deal directly with the development of the gadget, this phenomenon indicates a serious breakdown of the iPhone and requires its replacement. However, this phenomenon can occur when the screen is dirty, so do not panic if 3D Touch starts to work frequently and regardless of your actions, but carefully examine the display. 4 Strong heating of the device body. It may be caused by the continuous operation of an application installed on the iPhone. We need to check if this is true. By looking at the Batteries tab in the Settings menu. If nothing special is found there, you should reset all settings and then restore the data from the backup.Thus, the iPhone 6 series S version is somewhat superior to previous models of Apple gadgets. Take, for example, its closest predecessor - the iPhone 6. However, if the smartphone user is not too sophisticated and does not pursue technical innovations, such as 3D Touch technology, and the quality of the camera is not particularly important to him; in principle, he will not feel the difference between the two versions.
But if it is important for the consumer to have a high-tech new product with him, with the help of which he can significantly simplify his life, for example, saving time when paying for purchases, then the iPhone 6S will be preferable to him than any other earlier version of the phone from Apple. However, gamers will probably also opt for the iPhone 6S.
The flagship solution, which other market participants are focusing on, speaks about its impeccable hardware and software parameters. Is this really so - the answer will be given in this material.
Who is this device for?
Any Apple smartphone is a major event in the world of gadgets. It was no exception in this regard and its price did not change much compared to its predecessor. And the appearance of the device remained almost the same. But the hardware of this “smart” phone has improved significantly compared to the parameters of the previous generation. Otherwise, this smartphone boasts a rich package and is of greatest interest to the most demanding users. But at the same time, its cost is appropriate.
Gadget design
The last two generations of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S are almost identical in terms of design. They come in a non-separable metal case. The front panel is protected by impact-resistant ION-X glass. Behind it is a 4.7-inch display matrix made using IPS technology. At the bottom there is a single control button, which has a built-in fingerprint sensor. On the right edge there is a SIM card slot and a gadget lock button. And on its left side there are volume controls and a button to go to silent mode. On the bottom side of the device there is a conversational microphone, lightning ports and a 3.5 mm audio port. On the back of the smartphone is the main camera (it protrudes beyond the back cover) and its dual LED backlight. There are four color options for the case of this device: silver and gray are complemented by the already familiar iPhone 6s Gold and a new pink color.
CPU
Of course, the Apple A9 processor solution of this gadget cannot boast of impressive technical parameters. It has only 2 64-bit compute modules, which can accelerate to 1.8 GHz under heavy load. Compared to the Snapdragon 810 with two computing clusters, each of which includes four computing cores, its parameters look really modest. But, on the other hand, don't forget that this is a 6s. The distinctive feature of this platform is high degree optimization. If in the case of Android software the device often runs a lot of unused software in background, then CPU resources are used more efficiently here. Everything unnecessary stops immediately. Therefore, this gadget will run any software without any problems, including the most demanding ones. However, this picture will continue for the next two years. That is, the owners of this smartphone You certainly won’t have to worry about lack of productivity in the near future. The same cannot be said about the flagship solutions of the competing platform - Android. Here, changes occur much more frequently, and problems with a lack of computing power are felt within a year after purchasing a flagship solution from any manufacturer.
Graphic arts
This smartphone uses PowerVR GT7600 as a graphics solution. This video card was jointly developed by Apple and Imagination Technologies. This is the most productive graphic solution, which in its capabilities leaves far behind its direct competitors - Adreno 430 and Mali-T760MP8. Moreover, even now, six months after the start of sales, the situation in the segment of mobile graphics accelerators has not changed and “ZhT7600” continues to remain the sole leader. As a result, any iOS platform applications will run without problems on this generation of iPhone for another 2 years.
Another plus of the gadget: display
This device cannot boast of any sky-high resolution like 4K. But, on the other hand, what's the point in these 4K? Even HD resolution does not allow the ordinary eye to distinguish an individual pixel on a 4.7-inch screen diagonal. And here the diagonal is the same 4.7 inches, but the resolution is a little better - 1334x750. The screen matrix itself is made using IPS technology, which guarantees excellent color rendition and brightness. Also, the combination of a resolution of 1334x750 and IPS matrix manufacturing technology can significantly improve the autonomy of the gadget. The manufacturer did not forget about the iPhone 6s. A review of the technical specifications of this smartphone model indicates the presence of ION-X tempered glass. Also special mention should be made of the proprietary 3D Touch technology. Its essence lies in the fact that the smartphone can determine the degree of pressing on the touchscreen and, depending on this, execute completely different commands.
Memory
In terms of the amount of installed memory, all Apple smartphones lag behind competing platforms. If today's Android flagships boast 4 GB of RAM, then there is only 2 GB of RAM in the iPhone 6s. Reviews highlight the fact that this is quite enough for comfortable and smooth operation of the device. The key feature here is software optimization, which allows you to use device resources more efficiently. Separate slot for installation external storage This device does not. But the capacity of the built-in storage can be 16, 64 or 128 GB. Considering the lack of possibility to increase the volume, it is better to immediately buy a device with the required amount of built-in memory.
Cameras
It seems like a modest sensor - 12 megapixels - underlies the main iPhone cameras 6s. Comparison with direct competitors, unfortunately, confirms this. But the optical system of this camera, as well as software filters, allow you to obtain photos that are superior in quality to sensors with significantly big amount megapixels. This device also features autofocus technology and a dual flash. Video here can be recorded in 2160p format with a refresh rate of 30 frames per second. U front camera 5 megapixel sensor and this allows you to take impeccable quality “selfies” with its help. Well, she also copes well with her second task - making video calls.
Battery and its capabilities
The modest capacity of the built-in battery is 1715 mAh in the iPhone 6s. A review of the parameters of Android flagships is further confirmation of this. But, on the other hand, you need to understand that the iOS system boasts high optimization. Add to this a very economical processor solution in terms of battery consumption, a relatively low display resolution and an energy-efficient screen matrix and we get 14 hours of continuous operation in the most intensive use mode. Well, when the load decreases, you can fairly count on 2-3 days of work. But in this case it will be difficult to achieve anything more.
Software
6s immediately, out of the box, runs the latest version of the operating system - iOS 9. It was developed by the manufacturer specifically for the announcement of this gadget. All the hardware resources of this device are perfectly matched to this software and, as a rule, no problems arise during operation. This operating system perfectly compatible with everything existing software these are platforms and, as a result, everything runs on this device.
In the express review we already talked about performance new platform Apple A9, so we won’t repeat ourselves and run the tests a second time. First of all, we will talk about the capabilities of the camera in comparison with competitors and previous version, about the time battery life and iOS 9. And yes, we almost forgot - now we have the iPhone 6s Plus!
It has minimal differences from the “regular” 6s: a 5.5-inch screen instead of 4.7-inch, an optical stabilizer for the camera and a more capacious battery. In any case, there is something to talk about - part of this review is dedicated specifically to the 6s Plus and its differences from its predecessor. Well, we did a camera test based on the 6s Plus - after all, the optical stabilizer is very important, it would be wrong to neglect it.

⇡ iPhone 6s Plus design
talk about iPhone design during the “s-iteration” it is both simple and difficult. Simple - because it's short. It’s difficult because there’s essentially nothing to say. Nothing has changed - the 6s Plus looks the same as the 6 Plus. You can only distinguish them by the letter s at the bottom of the back panel or if you bought a pink - yes, now there is one - version of the smartphone.

Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus |
||
By the way, if you want to buy last year’s iPhone, but definitely a gold one, go to flea markets: new iPhones The 6 and 6 Plus are not available in gold, only silver and gray versions are available. Only the newest iPhones are presented in a “rich” design.
But taking the new and old smartphones in your hands and weighing them thoroughly, you can feel the difference. The 6s Plus is 20 grams heavier—192 grams versus 172 grams for last year’s “big iPhone.” The dimensions are practically the same, the difference is measured in tenths of a millimeter.
We don’t undertake to evaluate whether the iPhone is beautiful or not, but the fact that it has become less recognizable is a fact. But it is not Apple that is to blame for this, but blatant copying in the style of Lenovo S90 or HTC One A9. To be honest, it’s not surprising to get confused.
Let us recall the main ergonomic features of the iPhone: Home button built-in fingerprint scanner; The volume keys and the power key are located on different edges; there is a special lever that switches the smartphone to silent mode, and more recently is also capable of blocking screen rotation (its operating mode is selected in the settings); The camera module is in top corner the back of the smartphone and protrudes slightly above the body, which annoys many. The 6s Plus body is made of glass and aluminum. Needless to say, the build quality is excellent? After all, this is Apple; the company from Cupertino does not give up its position in quality control.

⇡ iPhone 6s Plus display
Apple iPhone 6s Plus, display in the sun
The screen has not changed compared to the 6 Plus - only 3D Touch and Taptic Engine technologies have been added, we wrote about them in detail in the 6s express review. The 5.5-inch IPS matrix has a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels (density 401 pixels per inch), it has an oleophobic coating and there is no air gap between the glass and the matrix itself. Nevertheless, we couldn’t deny ourselves the pleasure of measuring the display’s performance.
It’s about pleasure - Apple traditionally customizes the screens of its devices very well, and as a result they look great, without superiority in formal indicators such as the number of dots per inch or contrast. The latter is especially true when compared with OLED.
The maximum recorded display brightness is 582 cd/m2, the minimum is 44 cd/m2. Black field luminosity is 0.43 cd/m2. The screen is very bright, among LCD displays this is one of the largest indicators today: the iPhone 6s is second only to the latest generation Sony Xperia devices. And, by the way, it surpasses the previous iPhone. For excellent performance in the sun, you have to pay for it with a little more light than you would like when reproducing black. This is especially noticeable if you watch a dark video on a black iPhone 6s - the difference in black depth is clearly visible. In this regard, LCD displays simply cannot be compared with OLED.
At the same time, the contrast is very decent in its league - 1327:1. This is approximately the same as the figures we set last year. Among smartphones with LCD screens, the iPhone stands out noticeably, as can be seen in our comparison table.
Apple iPhone 6s Plus, gamma. Yellow line—iPhone performance, dotted line—reference gamma
Gamma is 2.25, the average color temperature is around 7200 K. This is colder than the reference value of 6500 K, but a similar situation is typical for most modern smartphones: Everyone prefers “cold”. And Apple doesn’t have such big deviations.
Apple iPhone 6s Plus, color gamut. Gray triangle - sRGB coverage, white triangle - iPhone coverage
The color gamut almost corresponds to the sRGB space: Apple did not pursue the widest possible gamut - and that’s good. The iPhone 6s Plus reflects colors quite accurately - pay attention to the proximity of the screen indicators (circles) to the targets (empty squares), this is a rather rare situation, usually the deviations are stronger. At the same time, the DeltaE indicator is still not so small - 3.08, outside the calibration norm, but it is still better than most screens of modern smartphones.
To summarize, we can say that Apple did not disappoint again - the screen is set up very confidently. Moreover, this is the case when there is no doubt that everything on your iPhone will be approximately the same as in these graphs - stability during production is also included in the number strengths"apple" company.
But formal characteristics still cannot be taken out of brackets. Yes, a resolution of 1920 × 1080 is quite enough for a 5.5-inch screen, the picture does not look grainy, and the fonts are not pixelated. Yes, the viewing angles are quite decent, without distortion in contrast and color with not too much deviation of the view (for example, if you look at the smartphone screen together).
However, there is almost no doubt that already in the next generation the iPhone will receive a QHD or 4K display and Apple will talk about how much more opportunities this gives and how much clearer the picture is now on the smartphone from Cupertino. For now, let's limit ourselves to a simple formula - the iPhone 6s Plus has a good screen, its picture will appeal to the vast majority of users.
Almost the most popular model smartphone on this moment all over the world it is iPhone 6s. Even users who are not fans of the famous corporation no, no, and glance in the direction of this device.
Features and Specifications of Apple iPhone 6s
