**The iPhone 6s: A Worthwhile Upgrade?**
The iPhone 6s has been a highly anticipated device, and for good reason. With its impressive list of features and upgrades, it's hard to argue that it's not worth upgrading from the iPhone 6. In this article, we'll explore the various reasons why the iPhone 6s is a worthwhile upgrade.
**Camera Upgrades: A Compelling Reason**
One of the most noticeable upgrades in the iPhone 6s is its camera system. With cameras are really do matter now, it's clear that Apple has put significant effort into improving this aspect of the device. The leaked component from the iPhone 6's logic board showed us that the LTE chip has been upgraded to a new version of the Qualcomm chip, capable of 300 megabits download per second - double the speed of the iPhone 6. This is a major improvement, especially considering all the new bands that will be made available for carriers.
**Force Touch: A Game-Changer**
Another exciting feature of the iPhone 6s is Force Touch. While it may not be the halo feature of the device, it's certainly an important upgrade that will open up a world of possibilities. With force touch, users can remove a whole bunch of buttons from the display, resulting in less clutter and more input options. This technology has already been demonstrated on the Apple Watch, where it's shown promise in saving time and giving users more control.
**Durability: A Concern for iPhone 6 Users**
One aspect that may have held back some users from upgrading to the iPhone 6 is its durability. Specifically, the device's softness and tendency to bend under pressure. However, Apple is looking to address this issue with the iPhone 6s. The new device promises to be less prone to bending, making it twice as durable as its predecessor.
**Power Efficiency: A Welcome Upgrade**
The iPhone 6s will also become more power efficient, thanks to Apple's tweaks on the software side and the introduction of DDR4 RAM, the Apple A9 chip with core deactivation, and a more efficient LTE chip. These upgrades are expected to provide around a 10% increase in battery life - roughly an hour better than the iPhone 6.
**Bluetooth 4.2: A Smarter Upgrade**
Another significant upgrade is the inclusion of Bluetooth 4.2 on the iPhone 6s. This technology is more efficient and reconnects faster, reducing dropped connections. For users who rely on Bluetooth for connectivity to their cars or devices, this is a welcome improvement.
**Touch ID: Improved Accuracy**
The Touch ID system will also receive significant upgrades in the iPhone 6s. With improved accuracy and fewer false readings, Touch ID will become more reliable and user-friendly than ever before.
**Case Compatibility: A Relief for Users**
One of the most practical benefits of the iPhone 6s is its ability to accommodate older cases from the iPhone 6. This means that users won't need to purchase new cases just to upgrade their device.
**Screen Thickness: Minimal Change**
The screen thickness of the iPhone 6s will be slightly thicker than the original - a mere point two millimeters difference. However, most cases should still fit comfortably on the new device.
**New Colors and Options**
Finally, Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 6s will come in not one but four colors - including a brand-new rose gold option. Additionally, there may be tweaks to the space grey color, with some speculating that it will be darker and more consistent than before.
**Longer Support: A Bonus for Users**
One final reason why the iPhone 6s is worth upgrading from the iPhone 6 is its longer support period. Historically, Apple has supported S models for longer periods than non-S devices. With this in mind, the iPhone 6s should receive around one more year of support - roughly an additional six months beyond what was offered to the original iPhone 6.
