Is the iPhone 6s still worth having?
Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6s look very similar but its what is inside these phone is what really matters. The iPhone 6s adds some key features that make this phone better than the previous iPhones. Some of the key features that I am going to go through are, a faster processor, higher
-resolution camera, Live photos and the 3D Touch screen technology. All of these features make the iPhone 6s more than just a more expensive iPhone 6. There was some issues with the Live Photos when the iPhone 6s was released but Apple fixed these issues on the next iOS update.
The build quality
Just looking at the iPhone 6s you would think that it is just a complete replica as the previous model, the iPhone 6. However, you might be able to notice that the iPhone 6s is slightly thicker and heavier than the previous iPhone 6. Even tho they have made the phone heavier you cant tell. The iPhone 6s is also more durable than the previous iPhone 6, which Apple says that its because that the phone casing is made out of 7,000 series aluminium while the screen is made out of a special ion-exchange process to help make it more resistant to cracks and scratches.
iPhone 6 display
Apple have used the same size screen on the iPhone 6s wich was used on the iPhone 6. Apple noticed that the screen size was perfect for everyone when the iPhone 6 was released and this is why they also used the same size screen with the future generations of the iPhone. Even though some of the colours aren’t up to standard it can still compete with its Android competitors.
3D Touch
The main feature of the iPhone 6s that I personally like is the 3D Touch. The 3D Touch is Apples Touch technology which is found in the Apple Watch and the latest MacBooks. The 3D Touch allows you to press harder on the screen to access additional features. For example, shortcuts to the home screen, preview emails and more.
This is the first Smartphone that has this type of technology which does make it a time saver. I love how you can just jump to video on the camera and send a message to someone without navigating through the phone to send a reply to someone.
Camera quality
Apple has also upgraded the camera on the iPhone 6s, so you are able to capture pictures using a 12-megapixel sensor. This allows you to capture more resolution in your images giving you more detail. The exposure on this camera is very similar to the iPhone 6 but that isn’t a issue because the camera usually picks the right setting to capture a scene. When you are taking pictures in bright areas the 12-megapixel camera does a really good job but when it comes to low light situations is doesn’t do as well as you might hope. But overall this is a great phone to have.
