iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus (distillation and marketed as iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus ) are smartphones designed , developed and marketed by Apple Inc. They were announced on September 9, 2015, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco by Apple CEO Tim Cook, with pre-orders starting September 12 and official releases on September 25, 2015. The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus were replaced by iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on September 2016.
The iPhone 6S has a design similar to the iPhone 6 but includes updated hardware, including reinforced chassis and enhanced on-chip system, 12-megapixel camera, enhanced fingerprint recognition sensor, Advanced LTE support, and "Hey Siri "without the need to install. iPhone 6S also introduces a new hardware feature known as "3D Touch", which allows pressure-sensitive touch input.
iPhone 6S has the most positive reception. While the performance and quality of the cameras are praised by most reviewers, the addition of 3D Touch is favored by one critic for a completely new interface interaction potential, but is disliked by other critics for not providing users with the expected intuitive response before actually using the feature. Battery life is criticized, and one reviewer asserts that mobile cameras are not significantly better than other industries. The iPhone 6S set a new sales record in its first weekend, selling 13 million models, up from 10 million for the iPhone 6 in the previous year. However, Apple sees a year-on-year decline in iPhone sales in the months following its launch, credited to the saturated smartphone market in Apple's largest countries and the lack of iPhone purchases in developing countries.

Specifications
Hardware
The iPhone 6S is almost identical in design for the iPhone 6. Responding to the design flaws of the previous "bendgate" model, changes were made to improve chassis resistance: the 6S is built from a stronger 7000 series aluminum alloy. , the "key point" in the rear casing is reinforced, and the touch screen integrated circuit is placed back to the display unit. Along with the existing gold, silver, and gray space options, a new gold rose color option was also introduced.
The iPhone 6S is powered by Apple A9 system-on-chip, which the company says is 70% faster than Apple A8, and has up to 90% better graphics performance. The iPhone 6S has 2 GB of RAM, more than the previous iPhone, and also supports LTE Advanced. The Touch ID sensor on 6S is also updated, with new versions that improve the performance of fingerprint scanning versus previous versions.
While their battery capacity is slightly smaller, Apple assesses the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have the same average battery life as their respective predecessors. A9 system-on-chip is dual-sourced from TSMC and Samsung. Although speculated that the Samsung version has a worse battery performance than the TSMC version, some independent tests have shown no significant difference between the two chips. Although the device is not promoted as such, the iPhone 6S has a water resistance level due to internal design changes, which puts the silicone seal around the logic board components to prevent them from being shorted by accidental water exposure.
Their displays have the same size as the iPhone 6, coming in 4.7-inch size 750p and 5.5-inch size 1080p (Plus). The iPhone 6S features a technology known as 3D Touch; the sensor is embedded in the screen backlight layer that measures the firmness of the user's touch input with the distance between the lens and the cover glass, enabling the device to differentiate between normal and stronger suppression. 3D Touch coupled with Taptic Engine vibrator to provide related haptic input. Although similar, this is different from the Force Touch technology used on Apple Watch and Retina MacBook, as it is more sensitive and can recognize more levels of touch pressure than Force Touch. Due to the hardware required to implement 3D Touch, the iPhone 6S is heavier than its predecessor.
The iPhone 6S has a 12 megapixel rear camera, an upgrade from an 8 megapixel unit on the previous model, as well as a 5 megapixel front-facing camera. It can record 4K video, as well as 1080p video at 60 and now 120 frames per second. The camera is well received by many phone critics. When the camera takes video recording 4K can use the storage in the phone quickly. The 16 gigabyte version of the phone can only hold 40 minutes of video.
The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus were initially offered in models with 16, 64, and 128 GB of internal storage. After the release of iPhone 7 in September 2016, models 16 and 64Ã, GB were dropped, and replaced with a new 32Ã, GB option. To improve storage performance, iPhone 6S uses NVM Express (NVMe), resulting in a maximum read speed of 1,840 megabytes per second.
Software
The iPhone 6S was initially marketed with iOS 9; the operating system makes use of 3D Touch hardware to allow introduction of new movements and commands, including "snooping" the content with a light touch and "popping" into the display by harsher pressing, and accessing the context menu with links to functions commonly used in applications with more emphasis hard on the main screen icon. The camera's "Retina Flash" feature allows the screen brightness to be used as a temporary flash on images taken with the front camera, while "Live Photos" captures short videos alongside each captured photo.
The iPhone 6s currently supports iOS 11 which was first released September 19, 2017, Apple announced that the iPhone 6s family will receive an upcoming iOS version, iOS 12.
Reception
Nilay Patel from The Verge describes 6S, especially the Plus model, as "now the best phone on the market. [...] No other company can launch features like 3D Touch and make it work in a way that shows the creation of a completely new interface paradigm, and every other mobile phone maker needs to find out exactly why Apple cameras are so consistent before they can actually compete. "Samuel Gibbs from The Guardian commented that the phone" has the potential to be the best small smartphone on the market, but short battery life is frustrating "and describes the camera as" not a league ahead of the competition anymore. "Tom Salinger of The Register praised the performance, noting that" we are now using phone with current PC performance ", but describes the 3D Touch as" just a glorified vibrator "and" no good [...] You still do not know what will happen until you m try it. " Ryan Smith and Joshua Ho from AnandTech awarded the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus Editor's Award Awards, most of which are based on mobile performance and the addition of 3D Touch.
Sales
On Monday after the iPhone 6S launch weekend, Apple announced that it had sold 13 million models, a record-breaking number that surpassed the 10 million iPhone 6 sales launch in 2014. In the months following its launch, Apple saw its first - quarterly the decline in iPhone sales every year, is associated with a saturated smartphone market in Apple's biggest selling countries and consumers in developing countries that do not buy iPhones.
Hardware problem
Unexpected battery shutdown
In November 2016, Apple announced that "a very small amount" of iPhone 6S devices manufactured between September and October 2015 had a damaged battery that was unexpectedly closed. While Apple noted that the battery problem "is not a security issue", it announced a battery replacement program for the affected device. Customers with affected devices, reaching "limited serial number range", can check their device's serial number on the Apple website, and, if affected, will receive a free battery replacement at Apple Stores or an authorized Apple Service Provider.
In December 2016, Apple disclosed new details about this issue, stating that the affected device contains "exposed air controlled battery components longer than expected before being assembled into the battery pack". The statement also said that customers "out of impact" may also experience an unexpected shutdown, although it clarifies that some shutdowns may occur under "normal conditions" because the iPhone is trying to "protect its electronics". Apple also said that upcoming updates to the iOS operating system will include additional diagnostic tools to help Apple find more information about different types of battery issues.
In February 2017, Apple released a statement for TechCrunch , saying that the iOS 10.2.1 update, released on January 23, has reduced the appearance of battery shutdown by "over 80%" on iPhone 6S devices.
On December 28, 2017, Apple lowered battery replacement price beyond warranty for iPhone 6 or later from $ 79 to $ 29, and promised an iOS update that will provide more information about the iPhone battery's health eventually turning into iOS 11.3.
