Today is a big day for the new Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus as both go on sale here in Canada as well as the U.S. and other countries across the globe. As we have seen in the past, the “s” generation looks very similar to the previous one but still includes a number of substantial upgrades.
The new iPhones come with the new 3D Touch feature which is able to detect how hard you’re pressing on the screen. This allows the user interface to respond with different actions or options. The new devices also come with faster processors, more RAM, improved cameras as well as stronger aluminium and glass to avoid a Bendgate reoccurence.
