Apple iPhone 6s review: The more it changes…

1 October, 2015
It’s how the saying goes. And you know, it’s not about Apple and the iPhone at all. It’s where the industry has been heading for a while now. In the race for screen size and processing power, the major makers’ flagships are like pro athletes finishing within milliseconds of each other...

Waiting to get my 64GB Silver iPhone 6S. Besides the jaw-dropping A9, 3D Touch, and faster TouchID, I think one of the best things about this year's iPhones is ad-block. Finally! Bring it on!!

          Everyone should test the respective phone in real life before giving any praises or critics.

            i want processor like that in android phone, even it only dual core, just like xperia sp.

              Their hi-speed shutter is similar to sony - while it got f2.2 it shoot fast(I mean shutterspeed). Also low iso ~25 is what I see for first time. Looking back 6 got also low iso, so images are comparable to S6e+ in noise area. Thats the only thing apple got better in. Look at battery where sony got 1000mAh more, phone is pricy with even 16GB while LG got 64+200GB, Sony 32+200GB(note5 gone bad this time). Phones are not phones anymore, they are smartphones and awesome computers, to give them just 16GB memory..... I do not want that even for free, I cannot imagine how 8GB of free space can be enough... maybe for my grandma.

                man I want this badly -- with stupid reasons I switched to "High End" (read poor performer) Android. Believe me or not from 2 day onward I start to hate that SAMSUNG NOTE 4. I had to wait a lot - could not afford 2 pricy phone in same year. Now the wait is over. I am not android hater but dont like their apps/memory management/ web browser. Srry folks android is still beta for me.

                    102 comments, so far, mostly from the Android haters, giving typical responses, that warrent no reply because as always they're clueless lol 248 more comments to go to meet my prediction! Bring it on droid boys, who ironically missed the part in the article saying it is the best performing smartphone on the market lol.

                            Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple just kinda stopped being innovative. iPhone 4 is the biggest innovation the company can made. Putting such a mediocre specs with such a high price with this latest iPhone release, i think it's clear Apple is only here for the money lately. They barely upgrading or adding innovative feature to the newest iPhone. Nothing change that much from iPhone 5 to 6, unlike from iPhone 3 to iPhone 4. The nonexistent 32GB version makes it pretty clear too i think. Who knows how much profit they get from selling 1 iPhone? With this specs, i think it's very big.

                            Maybe the reason for the high price is to cover-up their R&D department, but, really, is this the best they can come up with their R&D from one of the biggest company in the world with their huge profits? 3D Touch is like Force Touch on Android. I know Apple still sells, but if they don't step their game up, who knows what'll happen? Just stop this "S" series and release major update to their iPhone every year. Samsung is stepping up their game with the Edge series, LG with the newest V10 that has dual screen, Sony with the best camera on smartphone with Z5. Apple's competitor doesn't play around anymore.

                            I'm not bashing Apple, i wouldn't mind if i'm given this iPhone for free lol, but i'm just kinda sad that one of the most innovative company in the world has turned into this...

                              "The A7 chip released two years back IS still a BEAST for the 750p resolution in iphone6s, isn't it? Split-screen multitasking is not going to be available in iphone6s anyways, to make use of that additional CPU/GPU power. IOS is also not adding any other key features which require that much additional power."

                              So, are you saying that we should stop developing and improving technology just because we've reached a plateau? What about future-proofing? Sure iPhones - or any smartphones, generally - arguably don't need to the additional CPU/GPU power, but it's essential for future-proofing. You don't expect for a $800 phone to simply last for one year, do you? And with recent technological advancements, future-proofing is now more important than ever.

                              Also, you do realise that the 6(s) Plus has 1080p display, right?

                              " If iphone 6s were to use 2K or 4K display, the performance levels of A9 would have made a difference to the so-called user-experience ifans keep talking about. With iphone6s still having 750p screen, don't be hypocrites and accept the truth - Apple is playing just a numbers game and there is no realtime benefits with A9 compared to A7 for a phone with 750p display."

                              While iPhones generally have fewer res than their competitors, in off-screen tests, the PowerVR GPUs have historically kicked butt. So the
