Apple IPhone 6S / 6S Plus. early reviews / WHAT'S NEW?

The NDA got up and have started dozens of reviews appear on the iPhone 6S. The consensus seems to be simple: an excellent smartphone that improves some points of the iPhone 6, but that does not bring big surprises him.

It should be noted that the new iPhone 6S / 6S Plus bring some interesting new features such as:

• 3D Touch: The screen can detect pressure levels, giving us a new method of interacting with the phone. This is important because, from now on, we have what is essentially a "right click" built into the mobile operating system, increasing the ways in which we can interact with it, without increasing complexity. 6S is the pioneer, but there is no doubt that 3D Touch will be released on iPads and iPod Touch in the future. And it will be very interesting to see what other developers do with this. And yes, other companies like Huawei have tried similar things (screens that detect the weight, interaction with knuckles), but Huawei has no real control over Android.Apple, to enable iOS 9 and for future devices, is basically standardizing the function for hundreds of millions of users. Needless to say that most major developers, implemented.
• Upper chambers. Now we have a camera 12 megapixel main camera, and a 5 - megapixel front. This is an upgrade on camera iPhone 6/6 Plus, thanks to the brilliant image processing iOS offers, will surely be among the best in the market on a smartphone. Glad, particularly, see the front camera iPhone 6S has considerably improved compared to the already outdated 1.2 megapixel camera that had until iPhone 6.
• 2 GBs of RAM: Not that become scarce RAM in iPhones since the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus behaved splendidly with his gigabyte of RAM, but 2 GBs of RAM will ensure us that my almost never be evicted from memory. The story is quite another on iPads where 1 GB has always seemed very little to the trend of multitasking tablets.But it's good to finally see Apple is increasing the RAM on their phones before this is critical, as with iPads. And fortunately, iOS remains light and fast, in contrast to Android, where we are already seeing that even 3 or 4GBs, mismanaged (as in Note 5) are not sufficient.

But despite these benefits, we have some points that discourage, such as:

• The base model still 16 GBs. If you go to buy an iPhone, make sure that the model of 64 GBs. 16 GBs simply not enough, and really disappointed that Apple continues to sell the base model with so few Gigabytes. Living with 16 GBs in 2015, especially with the improvements in the camera (heavier and 4K video pictures), is simply impossible. S
• Battery unimproved. Unfortunately, the "S" models have not brought a better battery, which is a disappointment. Despite the improvements mentioned in the previous point, the battery life of the iPhone 6S remains identical to the iPhone 6. That is, it is not good enough, especially for power users. 

But hey, what some media have to say they have had the opportunity to test the phone for the last week? Here are some excerpts:  

Wall Street Journal

 Joanna Stern always offers excellent reviews from the point of view of the average consumer, and this time, get us a clear conclusion:

"The iPhone 6S is .... an iPhone. The best iPhone to date. But it is also proof that smartphone innovation has stalled and we sent in our newest phones are improvements in essential points "

"If you have an iPhone 6, will not feel very jealous of those who purchase a 6S - maybe a little envious of Live Photos. If your iPhones have more than two years, this is the phone to buy. Be sure, nothing more, to pay the "ransom" Apple for the 64 GBs. 

IPhone 6S history is the same as the 5S or 4S. It is a slightly better iPhone - that's what it must mean the "S". And like its predecessors "S" does not cover all complaints. For that it is that there is the iPhone 7 - truth, Apple "

Walt Mossberg

"IPhone 6S is the best smartphone on the market, period. If you have last year's model, you may not find its new features compelling enough to upgrade. But if you have an older iPhone or an Android phone who are willing to leave, this new iPhone will make them much happier. "

Tech Radar

Gareth Beavis of Tech Radar also has as its online review, giving 4 stars out of 5, under the heading of "Same frame, but with a bright new touch screen". As "Pros" we have a great design, 3D Touch impressive, and OS stable, while as cons, we have a battery life that leaves to be desired, the "Live Photos" (photos videos that are unique to the 6S) they do not always work, and a high price.

The conclusion:

Apple has done what we all expected - finely balance its latest smartphone. 3D Touch is a genuine innovation, and the phone works fluidly on each task - but it is very similar to the model 2014.
