The detailed technical specifications of the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have been reported only in the closing of the presentation on September 9 and shown in the official Apple website. The changes are mainly under the body, as for every ” S ” version.
However, it is interesting that there are some new features on the new smartphone absolutely perceptible. The body becomes such slightly thicker and larger, while the weight will be evaluated carefully once we have the opportunity to test and feel the products.
On the traditional 4.7″ and is between 129g iPhone 6 to 143 g of the iPhone 6S, while iPhone 6S Plus brings the scales at 192g. The new interior, including 3D Touch and Taptic Engine, have certainly had a direct impact on the features that interest, but the extra weight is combined with the reduction in the capacity of the built-in battery that, with some deception on Apple A9 or software side, should lead to operational autonomy than in the past. It also changes the cameras, now 12 megapixels and can record 4K, as well as the integrated SoC. In the table below we report the news.
