If you’ve been resisting the temptation to pick up an imported unit, looks like your patience has paid off. With the official launch date announced, we should be seeing a drop in pricing in the days to come. This is probably the fastest iPhone roll out yet as we are getting it within a month since its global release. Price wise, do expect to pay more especially with the recent price hike and our poor exchange rate against other countries.
The new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are visibly the same as the previous iPhone 6/6 Plus with the exception of a new Rose Gold colour as pictured above. However it gets a significant upgrade underneath with an improved aluminium 7000 shell while the display has 3D touch which is similar to the Apple Watch’s Force Touch. The performance claims to be double of its predecessor with a new A9 chip that’s mated with 2GB of RAM.
For taking pictures, the iPhone 6s gets a larger 12MP main sensor while the iPhone 6s Plus model gets added Optical Image Stabilisation. For selfies, you can expect better and brighter pictures with a 5MP front cam which uses the Retina Display as a soft flash in low light situations. You can read up more about the latest hardware and features in our iPhone 6s announcement post.
Thanks Danny for the tip!
