Apple iPhone 6S review

[Administrator]

Apple followers have had over 12 months to become accustomed to the larger 4.7-inch screen of the iPhone 6, but there are still some who have fought the desire to upgrade because they genuinely prefer the smaller 4-inch screen of the 5S. Those same people will no doubt be anxiously gazing at the freshly-released 6S and feeling their resolve slowly weakening - and with good reason. Apple's latest handset might be larger than some long-time customers are used to (best not to mention the iPhone 6S Plus), but - as Android followers have known for quite some time - it proves that bigger is indeed better. Not only that, but the traditional bi-yearly 'S' enhancement supplies some notable improvements over 2014's iPhone 6, making the upgrade process even easier to stomach.
As we've learned to expect, the iPhone 6S is - in purely cosmetic terms - a dead-ringer for the previous model. Apple is firmly committed to retaining designs for two-year cycles, and with HTC and now Samsung following suit, it would appear that the approach has some merit. Aside from the S on the back of the device, you'd be hard-pressed to tell it apart from its forerunner, which is no bad thing. True, there are those who prefer the sharp, straight lines of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 models, but the rounded curves of the iPhone 6 series feel much more agreeable in the hand. There's not a sharp edge on the entire device; even the screen has a gently rounded perimeter, and the overall effect is one of comfort. It might not have that eye-catching quality that the classic iPhone 4 had and the all-metal design is slightly less unique in an age when some of the cheapest Chinese Android phones are constructed from brushed metal, but the iPhone 6S is still a beautiful phone to behold.
From the front, the 6S looks reassuringly familiar, retaining the general layout which we've seen in previous models. The home button sits below the 4.7-inch, 1334x750 LCD display, recessed slightly so that your thumb can easily locate the Touch ID fingerprint scanner residing within. On the right-hand edge of the phone you'll find the power button and nano SIM tray, while on the opposite edge there are the volume buttons and the mute switch - a useful feature that surprisingly few other hardware manufacturers have chosen to imitate. The top edge is featureless, while on the bottom we have the mono speaker, lightning port and 3.5mm headphone socket.
