Apple iPhone 6S is official now, brings 3D touch

Apple has just lifted the cover off its most important product: the Apple iPhone 6s. The iPhone 6s retains the design and display size of its predecessor, the iPhone 6: it's got the same 4.7-inch IPS LCD screen, but apart from that similarity, it's all about innovation on the inside. First, though, Apple showed some stunning animated new live wallpapers for the lock screen and a brand new rose gold color version of the iPhone 6s.

3D Touch brings force sensitivity to iPhone 6s

Apple introduced Force Touch in the Apple Watch, and on the iPhone 6s it brings the evolution of that technology: 3D touch.

This new technology comes with two new gestures called "Peek" and "Pop" that let you bring up contextual menus on home screen icons as well as within apps. Basically, Peek gives you a preview of the information you are touching, while with Pop you can go right into it.

A9 chipset

Debuting on the iPhone 6s is the Apple A9 chipset. It’s the ocmpany’s third generation 64-bit chipset and offers up to 90% faster console-class GPU as well as up to 70% faster CPU performance, according to the company. It also offers new transistor architecture, which Apple is yet to expand upon.

New 12MP iSight camera

The iPhone 6s features Apple's all new 12MP iSight camera. It features 50% more pixels as well as 50% more focus pixels.

The new 12MP camera can now shoot 4K video, too.

Interestingly, the front-facing camera is now 5MP and uses the LCD display as a true-tone flash. There's a special chip inside the iPhone 6s, which drives the display up to 3x brighter in order to provide the best possible lighting for your selfies.
