iPhone 6S unboxed, in the flesh!

Abe Olandres Leave a comment

Apple has finally released the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in select markets this week and we were able to purchase a unit to review.

Perhaps the most obvious question is how different is the iPhone 6S from the iPhone 6. It’s actually the first thing we checked after unboxing the unit. This quick video gives you a rundown of the similarities and differences between the two generations of iPhones.

It’s actually hard to see any physical difference between the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6S. The only quickest way to find out if it’s the new model is the letter S printed below the iPhone logo at the back.

This means that most of what’s really new in the iPhone 6S are all found under the hood. We were a little skeptic about 3D Touch before but after using it for a short while, we understood its practical purpose.

In the full review we will publish next week, we will find out how huge is the performance upgrade from the previous generation, how good the camera quality is and if the battery life has improved so stay tuned for that.

For the Philippines, it is yet unsure when the iPhone 6S will be officially released but based on previous schedules, it could be sometime in October.

Disclosure: This review unit was bought from Widget City. They sell the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus with a starting price of Php35,000 {see listing here}.

Apple Announces The New iPhone 6S

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

Staying true to their annual traditions of unveiling the a new smartphone every September, Apple has introduced the tenth generation of its famed smartphone line – the iPhone 6S.

As is expected on an “S” model, the new Apple iPhone 6S is more of a revamped version of the iPhone 6 rather than being an entirely different beast. Compared to the previous “S” models though, the iPhone 6S has seen the most improvements but not as significant compared to the non-S releases.

For starters the new handset now comes in the Rose Gold color, confirming the previous rumors. As for its body, Apple claims that it will now come with a new Aluminum chassis which hopefully is less prone to #BendGate that plagued the iPhone 6 Plus .

Next up are the new feature for the screen which include 3D Touch, Peek and Pop, Taptic Engine which basically differentiates a light screen tap from a full press.

As for its internals, the new iPhone 6S boasts the new Apple A9 64-bit chip which is touted to bring 70% better processing performance and 90-percent increase in graphics performance compared to A8. The new processor is complemented by an updated Apple M9 co-processor.

Moving on, the iPhone 6S is now equipped with an “All-new 12MP iSight Camera” which translates to a 50% more pixels compared to the previous model. Apple has also made some changes on the camera’s autofocus performance and has added a new feature called Deep Trench Isolation.

The idea behind Deep Trench Isolation is for the new 12-megapixel iSight camera to achieve better color reproduction and more accurate skin tone.

Instead of adding a secondary flash, like some of the newer selfie-centric Android smartphones, Apple thought that it’ll be better if the users can just take advantage of the light emitted by the handset’s screen. Enter the Retina Flash, a feature that allows the iPhone 6S’ screen to light up three-times brighter than normal which in turn allows it double as a secondary flash for the handset’s 5-megapixel FaceTime HD front camera.

The new iPhone 6S follows the same pricing scheme as its predecessor when it was first released. The base model with 16GB of on-board storage will retail for $199 which comes with two-year contract. Meanwhile the 64GB and 128GB models will retail for $299 and $399 respectively. The handset will be available starting on September 25.
