Purchase the iPhone 6s or iPhone 6 in The Cheaper Cost?

With Apple pricing the iPhone 6s at a steep Rs 62,000 for the 16 GB variant in India (even if 16 GB is only not enough today), and leading up to a jaw-dropping Rs 92,000 for the iPhone 6s Plus 128 GB, price-conscious Indian customers have a hard choice to get. Answer the new 6s and 6s Plus justify their price tags or should prospective iPhone customers wait for prices to come down–which is improbable to occur before long. Or should they merely work for the year-old iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which come at significantly more depressed costs? For illustration, the current e-commerce bonanza in India is seeing the iPhone 6 selling for as low as Rs 24,999 after discounts and an exchange offer, a massive difference as compared to the Rs 62,000 price tag on the 6s 16 GB.

Grounded on a little under a day of using the new iPhone 6s, here’s a fast overview of the some of the notable characteristics of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus and how they stack up against the iPhone 6. Definitely faster than gnome applications

The A9 chip is Apple’s third-Gen chip with 64-bit architecture and Apple claim CPU performance is up by close to 70 percent compared to the A8 chip powering the iPhone 6. Graphics performance is reportedly up 90 percent compared to A8.  And the M9 motion coprocessor integrated into the A9 chip ensures that Siri is always on. Just say “Hey Siri” for Siri to come alive. But the iPhone 6 is no laggard either on the upper front.

Built tougher

The iPhone 6 faced Bendgate, though true, it wasn’t like every second phone got turned. Apple found out its lesson though, and the 6s and 6s Plus use 7000 Series aluminium alloy, which is mixed with Zinc to make it worse. 7000 Series aluminium is used in the aerospace sector. According to Unbox Therapy’s literal pressure tests, the iPhone 6S chassis is a great deal harder than the chassis of the 6–it didn’t set out to bend until exposed to a pressure of 80 lbs. The 6 chassis started to bow at 30 lbs of pressing. Thus, the 6s are clearly far worse and better built than the 6 and hence it is slightly more threatening as well.

Hot Photos

Falling somewhere in between a still image and a video, Live Photos–on by default–is close to the iPhone 6s capturing a photo, but also 1.5 seconds of video before and later on with sound. Clink on a Live Photo and it comes to life. File size is around twice of a regular photo, but Live Photos is a superb addition and is possibly a step towards the journey where we may not have still images shot as a still anymore but always every bit part of a picture. You can view Live Photos on any iOS device running IOS 9, but to create one, you need an iPhone 6s. And apps like Facebook may soon enable playback of Live Photos too increasing its range. Thanks to Apple’s market penetration, expect Live Photos to become a big trend soon.

Camera

The camera is bumped up from 8 MP on the iPhone 6 to a new 12 MP sensor with new pixel technology on the 6s. Apple claims that its new image signal processor on the iPhone 6s works with iOS 9 to provide far better films. Front camera has been broken up to 5MP from 1.2 MP and includes Retina Flash for better lit selfies—the screen flashes three times smarter than usual, combined with True Tone technology to account for location color tone and inflammation. But DxOMark, an industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements and ratings, says the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are left behind by seven Android-smartphone cameras, including the Sony Xperia Z5 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy Note 4. The reviewers are blunt, saying, “… those looking to upgrade from the iPhone 6 Plus might not find it (the camera on the 6s and 6s Plus) appreciably compelling.”

What’s neat though is 4K video recording (and with optical image stabilization on the 6s Plus). And the A9 processor makes for some deft video editing using iMovie.

Battery Life

While the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus reportedly have slightly lower capacity batteries as compared to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, battery life has been reported to be the same by most reviewers and by Apple too, thanks to software enhancements. And then perhaps nothing to worry about there, though bigger is always handy when it comes to battery life.

Instantaneous Touch ID

One thing I noticed was nearest instantaneous working of Touch ID, which incorporates a fingerprint scanner into home button and does away with the need for punching in a 4-digit password. Apple made security unobtrusive with TouchID on the iPhone 5s and the 6s takes it one level higher, and it’s definitely another productivity win for Apple.

So perhaps nothing to worry about there, though bigger is always handier when it comes to battery life.

Futuristic 3D Touch

3D Touch is perhaps the coolest feature on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.  The original iPhone borrowed gestures like pinch and zoom, but now has broken ahead of the pack by introducing Peek and Pop. The iPhone 6s senses how much pressure is applied to screen and it responds with subtle feedback. Then not only will you find out the results of a press on the screen—you will really feel it.

Pressing an icon makes for that image into focus while the background becomes hazy and you can select the sub-menu from the home screen itself. For example, by pushing the camera icon, you get options like Take Selfie, Record Video, Record slo-mo or Take Photo. Conceptually, it’s a bit like clicking on the right button of a shiner. In a mailbox, it can definitely improve productivity because a push will get you a peek into an e-mail and options like Archive or marking it unread, and a further push will really get you into that email. The Peek part gives you a look and you don’t need to click back to exit backwards to the letter box, thus eliminating an activity and improving productivity.

Some app developers like Instagram have already started leveraging 3D Touch–no more clicking on a photo and clicking back to run backwards to the previous screen. It works for a noticeable and welcome UI enhancement in games two and many, many iOS developers will leverage 3D Touch in the approaching months.

From the position of future iPhones, 3D Touch is a big milestone along the path to an iPhone without the home button. But that’s maybe a generation or two out. From the apps perspective 3D Touch will begin getting an increasing impact, merely for the immediate future if your iPhone doesn’t have 3D Touch you would perhaps just miss the coolest futuristic tech on an iPhone in the recent past.
