The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus get bumped to the “s” versions, adding a new colour – rose gold – as well as 3D Touch.
There’s a new iSight camera with 12 megapixels, 50% more than before. It’ll be able to film 4K video and the phones come with an A9 processor. It comes a 5-megapixel FaceTime camera, for high quality selfies.
3D Touch is a new pressure sensitive screen which recognises gentle and forceful touches to do different things on the phone. 3D Touch can be used to more quickly preview images.
Apple are also lunching an Android app to help users switch to iPhones, which will be available in the Google Play store. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus continue to start at 16GB size and are being released at the same prices that the 6 and 6 Plus launched as. The 6 and 6 Plus will continue to be sold, but there’s no “c” version in this time around. In the US, you’ll also be able to subscribe to the iPhone upgrade programme: pay $32 a month and get a new iPhone every year, AppleCare included.
The new iPhones will be available from 25 September with pre-orders from 12 September.
