History

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were presented on September 9, 2015 during a press event called "Hey Siri, give us a hint." at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, with a capacity of 7,000 seats, in San Francisco. The hardware design of the iPhone 6s is almost identical to that of the iPhone 6, although the chassis is now made of more resistant aluminum, initially used by the Apple Watch Sport to improve its rigidity. It is available in gold, silver, space gray finishes and, new for the 6s, rose gold. The iPhone 6s is powered by the Apple A9 system-on-chip, which according to the company is up to 70% faster than the Apple A8 and has graphics performance up to 90% better. The iPhone 6s features 2 GB of RAM, more than any previous iPhone, and also supports LTE Advanced. Although battery capacities are slightly lower, Apple rates the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus as having the same average battery life as their respective previous generations. The iPhone 6s presents the technology known as 3D Touch; sensors are integrated into the backlight layer of the screen and measure the firmness of the user's tactile input based on the distance between it and the glass, allowing the device to distinguish between normal and firmer touches. 3D Touch is combined with the Taptic Engine vibrator to provide the relative haptic feedback. The iPhone 6s features a 12-megapixel rear camera, enhanced compared to the 8-megapixel unit of previous models, as well as a 5-megapixel front camera. It can also record 4K video, as well as 1080p video at 60 frames per second. The Camera app's "Retina Flash" feature allows you to use the display's brightness as an improvised flash for images taken with the front camera, while "Live Photos" captures a short video along with every photo taken.

Trivia

• The iPhone 6s was presented on September 9, 2015 with the slogan "Hey Siri, give us a hint" at the Bill Graham Auditorium in San Francisco, which could accommodate 7,000 people, making it one of the most-followed Apple events of the era. • The iPhone 6s chassis uses the same more resistant aluminum as the Apple Watch Sport to improve rigidity, representing the first technology transfer between two such different Apple product lines and symbolizing the integration of the Apple ecosystem. • The iPhone 6s was the first iPhone to introduce 3D Touch technology, which detected the force of finger pressure on the screen through sensors positioned in the backlit layer, combined with the Taptic Engine to create a new form of tactile interaction with devices.
