Apple iPhone 6S Plus

The first samples photos shown during the Keynote seem quite convincing and, at first glance, this new ISIGHT sensor of 12 megapixels seems to keep its promises. On some shots, the level of detail is impressive and, even in low light, the quality seems to be there. Software optimization is undoubtedly for many. In addition, new features are invited to the sensor side.

Let’s go for a full tour what the last two apple smartphones reserve !

If the first photos of the iPhone 6s discovered in early July left no doubt about Apple’s desire to keep the same design, some improvements are still upgrading the hardware part. The same has already happened in 2009, 2011 and 2013. At Apple, each odd year is a sign of an update of the previous model and 2015 will not derogate from the rule. It will therefore be necessary to wait until 2016 to see real changes with the iPhone 7.

Instead of the A8 chip used last year, there is a new 64 bit Apple A9 70% faster processor. Ditto on the GPU side which offers 90% faster graphics than that of the 2014 models. A speech that is a bit the same every year, but it must be admitted that in terms of power, Apple smartphones have never disappointed. In addition Apple masters both the hardware and software part, which can thus optimize both as he seems.

• On the same topic : Follow the 2015 Keynote Apple 2015 live with us on September 9 at 6:45 p.m !

In the meantime, a first geekbench benchmark of the Apple A9 chip has appeared. On the clock, 2248 points on the Single Core test and 4036 points on the Multi Core test. Still according to this same benchmark, the two new iPhones would offer 2 GB of RAM against 1 GB for last year’s models. Information unfortunately not communicated by Apple at the conference, but confirmed by the first disassembly Ifixit.

A screen definition that remains the same

The size of the screen of the two flagships does not change and this year again, Apple offers two phones respectively equipped with slabs of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. While the first offers a definition of 1,334 x 750 pixels and a resolution of 326 ppi, the second offers a Full HD slab of 1920 x 1080 pixels or a resolution of 401 pp. Unlike some of its Android competitors, Apple has once again decided not to go into the bidding of the quad HD and the pixels and it is not a bad thing for the user.

12 megapixel and 4K video photo sensor

This year, the photo part leaps forward. While the previous four generations offered a photo sensor of 8 megapixels, the last two flagships of Apple offer a 12 -megapixel opening photo sensor f/2.2 capable of filming in 4K. If on the Apple side, it may seem to be a real revolution, 4K video recording is available on most high -end Android range from the Galaxy Note 3 released in the fall of 2013. Apple is therefore obliged to catch up on competition.

The first samples photos shown during the Keynote seem quite convincing and, at first glance, this new ISIGHT sensor of 12 megapixels seems to keep its promises. On some shots, the level of detail is impressive and, even in low light, the quality seems to be there. Software optimization is undoubtedly for many. In addition, new features are invited to the sensor side.

There Front camera has also been improved and now has a definition of 5 megapixels to better respond to the “selfie” trend. In addition, Apple offers a new feature of the name “Flash Retina” which will improve the quality of the selfies taken in low light. At the time of shooting, the phone screen multiplies its X3 brightness to better illuminate the user’s face.

4G twice faster

During yesterday’s presentation, Apple spoke of a 4G twice as fast, without going into technical details, as usual. Knowing that the two models of last year have a category 4 (150 Mbps) modem 4G, we understand that the two new flagships offer category 6 to 300 Mbps, like their Android competitors. A fairly welcome improvement, even if on this plan, Apple is far from being ahead.

A stronger design

If you regularly follow our news, you could not escape the Bendgate affair. You know, these iPhone 6 Plus who folded in the user pockets. A case that will have earned Apple to be trolled by almost all of its competitors. For’Avoid a second bendgate, The company has planned the blow. The shell of the two phones consists of aluminum 7000, an alloy already used within the Apple Watch and supposed to be 60% more resistant than aluminum 6000.

The screen is covered with a protective glass Announced as “the most solid on the market”. Again, Apple has not dispersed in details but there is a good chance that it is Gorilla Glass 4 glass that is found in particular on the Galaxy S6 and on the last flagships of Samsung from a year.

In terms of their design, it also appears that the 6S is slightly thicker than the iPhone 6. The latest model from Apple is 7.1 mm against 6.9 mm for the 6th. The iPhone 6S Plus, on the other hand, is 7.3 mm where the 6 plus counted 7.1 mm.

This increase is explained in particular by the presence of 3D Touch technology which we will talk about just after. The iPhone 6S is also larger in size. 138.3 mm in height and 67.1 mm wide. The iPhone 6 measures 138.1 mm high and 67 mm wide. Tiny changes in terms of proportions.

A touch screen and some subtle improvements

At the rank of hardware improvements, there is a fingerprint reader twice as fast and even more precise. And on the side of the software, the “Hey Siri” feature allows you to keep the personal assistant constantly on standby.

In addition, the two new phones offer a functionality of the name of 3D Touch. Spotted in the iOS9 code, already present on the Apple Watch as well as on the Huawei Mate S 128 GB under the name of Force Touch, it allows different actions to be carried out depending on the intensity of the pressure of the finger stuck on the screen. A new way of interacting with your phone supposed to facilitate the life of the user.

At this level, we are not going to lie, the demonstration of 3D Touch technology made during the keynote was impressive, even if the function in itself is not revolutionary. Concretely, three pressure levels are supported: tapping, normal pressure and long pressure. From there, several options are offered to you, you can notably start the camera application directly in selfie mode or even post a status a status on Facebook without going through the application’s home interface by selecting the option directly from the phone’s home screen.

So yes, it’s innovative and it seems formidably practical but it is not the invention of the century either. A new feature that should nevertheless be unanimous with future users of the next two Apple phones.

A smaller battery

Although the information was not disclosed during the Keynote, Apple has made a little back at the battery level. Thus, that of the iPhone 6s displays a capacity of 1715 mAh Against 1800 mAh for its predecessor and the capacity of the S6 Plus battery would also have been reduced, even if we do not yet have confirmation,. Knowing that their autonomy is already leaving something to be desired, it is not necessarily good news.

Price and release date of the iPhone 6s and 6s plus

The prices of the iPhone 6s and 6s plus were not revealed during Keynote but very quickly appeared on the Apple site. If you want to offer one of the two models, you will have to pay the sum of

Description iPhone 6S Plus

An attractive design

The design of the iPhone 6S Plus is reminiscent of its predecessor the 6plus since we find this Unibody shell. But with regard to its weight, this Apple smartphone is equipped with 192 g, it therefore takes 20 grams compared to the 172 g of the previous model.Like the iPhone 6 S, its chassis is covered with 7000 standard aluminum, ie a mixture of zinc and aluminum 60 % more resistant.

Whether applications, video games or music, this iPhone can be used for long hours thanks to its excellent autonomy.

An impressive quality of photos

The iPhone 6S Plus photo module is identical to that of the iPhone 6s. We find a photo sensor on the back of the 12 megapixel device At 2,2 /F opening and automatic focus with focus pixels. In addition, an optical image stabilization is made on the iPhone 6S Plus which is not the case on the old model. This back camera incorporates a double Truetone LED flash, an autofocus and a “face/smiledtection” function. At the front of the mobile it is a sensor of 5 megapixels which will make it possible to make the selfies or the calls oppositeTime. The recording of the HD video is made in 4KW with an optical stabilization of the image that we only find on the 6S Plus version and a continuous automatic development as well as a video quality stabilization.
