11 Features Exclusive to iPhone 6s That Are Unavailable in Older iPhones


If you are wondering what’s new in iPhone 6s / 6s Plus and why is it better or worse than all the old generation of iPhones launched till date…

Then you are going to enjoy these 9 good features and 2 bad features (total: 11 features) exclusive to the latest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus devices:


Good Features:

  1. Live Photos: By default, every pic you click through the iSight camera is converted into a live photo. This live photo is, as you can guess, photos that have video content in them. Think of them like GIF animated clips.
  2. 3D Touch: Gone are the days when you have to do multi-taps on the screen to go from one level to the another. Now, with 3D touch, just apply pressure from your finger and the new screen will recognize that pressure to carry out specific functions.
  3. Animated Wallpapers: For years, Android had this live video wallpapers – and iPhones never did. Now such animation motion wallpapers are possible with the latest models.
  4. Hey Siri Always ON: Just pick up the device and say “Hey Siri” without clicking any buttons. How cool is that?
  5. 4K Video Recording: Recording crazy high-resolution videos are not a dream now. In fact, we think Apple wants to make everyone feel like Christopher Nolan. 4k video recording makes that possible.
  6. Pre-installed iOS 9: No need to invest your time trying to upgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 9. Forget backups. By default, new models have iOS 9 pre-installed, so you can enjoy all the iOS 9 features right away.
  7. Chip Change: This year we have A9 chip, while last year’s devices had A8 chip. Note that A9 chip gives your devices more power and handles gaming / resource-intensive apps without any lags.
  8. New iSight Cameras: Front camera is now 5 MP, while the rear camera has been upgraded from 8 MP to 12 MP. All your dreams of taking beautiful pics & selfies through a phone has just come true with these devices.
  9. New Touch ID: May not be a big deal, yet it’s subtle changes that makes our lives easier. That is why the new Touch ID sensor is important – it now takes half the time to detect your fingerprints compared to earlier models.

Bad Features:

  1. On The Heavier Side: Aluminium body in the new model is rigid, thereby creating “extra” weight. For ex: iPhone 6 weighs 129 gram while the new iPhone 6s weights 143g. That’s an additional 14 gram – may not matter much, but the device hasn’t gone “thinner” this year which is always the case.
  2. Low Battery Power: No one talked about the battery life of the new iPhone models. Then we did some research and saw something surprising. In fact, iPhone 6s has 1,715mAh built-in battery (non-removable, of course) while last year’s iPhone 6 was bundled with 1,810mAh battery. This is not an upgrade – but a downgrade.
