History

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were unveiled on September 9, 2015 during a press event titled "Hey Siri, give us a hint." at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, with a capacity of 7,000 seats, in San Francisco. The iPhone 6s hardware design is virtually identical to that of the iPhone 6, although the chassis is now made of more resistant aluminum, used for the first time by the Apple Watch Sport in order to improve its rigidity. It is available in gold, silver, space gray, and, new for the 6s model, rose gold. The iPhone 6s is powered by the Apple A9 system-on-chip, which according to the manufacturer is up to 70% faster than the Apple A8 and boasts 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 states that the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have the same average battery life as their respective previous models. The iPhone 6s integrates technology known as 3D Touch; sensors are embedded in the backlight layer of the screen and measure the pressure of the user's tactile input based on the distance between it and the glass, allowing the device to distinguish between normal touches and more forceful ones. 3D Touch is paired with the Taptic Engine vibrator to provide related haptic feedback. The iPhone 6s features a 12-megapixel rear camera, upgraded from the 8-megapixel unit in previous models, as well as a 5-megapixel front camera. It is also capable of recording 4K video, as well as 1080p video at 60 frames per second. The Camera app's "Retina Flash" feature allows you to use the brightness of the screen as an improvised flash for images captured 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 at the Bill Graham Auditorium in San Francisco at an event called "Hey Siri, give us a hint", using the name of the voice assistant in the presentation title for the first time. • The iPhone 6s frame uses the same stronger aluminum as the Apple Watch Sport, representing a moment of technological convergence between different Apple products to improve the structural rigidity of devices. • The iPhone 6s was the first iPhone to introduce 3D Touch technology, which allows the device to distinguish between normal touches and stronger presses thanks to sensors integrated in the layer behind the screen.
