But the improvement to the 12 megapixel camera is the other.įor many people, the upgrade of the rear-facing camera is enough, but the front-facing camera has also been given a big boost, from 1.2 megapixels to 5 megapixels plus the phone screen becomes a skin tone friendly front-facing flash.
#Imovie for iphone 6s plus update
With each new iPhone comes the question: why should I upgrade, particularly given I can update my iPhone 6 to run iOS9? 3D Touch is certainly one part of the answer.
How big do you want your pictures? Shoot a picture using the panorama mode and you can end up with a 63 megapixel image.
With a camera that lacks an optical zoom like the iPhone 6S, starting with a big image you can crop an image and still have a file large enough to print out in reasonable quality. There is still some truth in the theory that a good camera is more than it’s megapixels but by creating a bigger resolution image, one advantage is that you have a bigger canvas to begin with. Picture: Rod Chesterįor a long time Apple argued you didn’t “need” a camera with an image sensor bigger than 8 megapixels. an unedited photo shot on the iPhone 6S showing how the camera does capturing blue sky. If there is a way of telling the iPhone you don’t want those two options, and getting it to listen, then we’ve yet to find it. So, in my four quick options from FaceTime, those two options I did not want to use again were offered for repetition.
One day, I accidentally FaceTimed one friend and then used FaceTime audio to contact someone when my usual form of communication with the FaceTime video, didn’t work. At first attempt, we were holding our apps rather than pushing the apps, which made them all do that “wiggle wiggle you can’t delete me” dance.Īnother problem is a lack of control with the Quick Actions you find at the end of every touch. There are a few other problems with 3D Touch. If it hasn’t been designed with 3D Touch in mind, all you’ll get is a triple-tap feeling of rejection. The catch is, unless you push hard on an app, you don’t know if it has the feel of the force. It’s not just native Apple apps that incorporate 3D Touch. push harder on an icon and you get a quick action menu. Push hard on the camera icon and your menu options include “take selfie” or “take photo”.įeel the force. Push down that little bit harder on the phone icon, and you get a menu with your favourite contacts. Call it what you will, the force is strong with this feature and it has the potential to be as key to the way you use your smartphone as the tap, pinch and swipe. If you do the same action with your finger on the iPhone 6S, it’s called 3D Touch. If you’re using an Apple Watch or the new Macbook, pushing hard with your finger to access the next level of menu is called Force Touch. Aside from the new rose gold colour option (to join silver, space grey and gold), the iPhone 6S looks just like an iPhone 6 - except this has an S laser-etched into the back of it.įorget about spotting the key difference at first sight, the element that will define iPhones from now on comes down to the sense of touch.įorce Touch is not new to Apple, but it is new to Apple iPhones - and in coming to the phone it comes with a new name (just to confuse us all). So, what is the special something in the iPhone 6S? Touch ID, which allows you to lock your digital devices without the need of a password, came with the iPhone 5S. Siri, the digital assistant at the core of the iPhone, the Apple Watch and soon to be released Apple TV, was launched in the iPhone 4S. With the 3GS, the iPhone got a video camera. Apple would argue it’s closer to “something special”. WHAT does the S stand for in iPhone models? Most would say “something more” - the second-note “tock” to the opening bang of the “tick” of the major release cycle.
