hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with my review of the iPhone 6s plus what's the new iPhone 6s plus side-by-side with the 6 plus and not much has changed it's a tiny bit thicker which is no big deal but it is noticeably heavier this is mostly due to the new 3d touch display but Apple also switched to 7000 series aluminum this generation thanks to bendgate unbox therapy put the 6s to the test and surprise surprise it holds up much better than the 6 plus another change is the addition of a new rose gold color which joins the same space grey silver and gold options from the last gen along with a shiny new S badge which is the best way to tell the new model apart it is a little bit heavier I think that's the only noticeable difference when I pick up the phone and hold in the hand so it's a little bit of a heavier phone especially because I use a 6s plus but otherwise it's a pretty simple understated clean familiar design it's a nice design but beside phones like the galaxy note 5 it's not too impressive it does have a nice feel in the hand with a seamless curve but that also makes it a little slippery I talked to my six plus a few times and if anything the extra heft makes the 6s plus even easier to get away from you with a 5.5 inch 1080p screen the plus Dwarfs the normal success if you're willing to give up some one hand ability you're getting a nice screen it can't match the terrific AMOLED display on the note 5 but it's got nice color great viewing angles and plenty of resolution one of the big new features of the success is the addition of 3d touch I was a little bit on the gimmick train with 3d touch at first but the more I use it the more I find myself liking it especially when you get into apps like Instagram or Safari I've just been able to preview a link or profile it's something that I found really useful unlike a normal long press this allows you to use varying levels of force to pull up different options this is useful in a few places 3d touch to the side of the screen and you'll open the multitasking and by 3d touching the keyboard you'll pull up a cursor the touch ID fingerprint scanner is also seen improvements it's now so fast that's hard to get to your lockscreen but I guess I can live with such a horrible problem iOS 9 is largely the same as on other iPhones but it runs noticeably faster here which leads me to one of the best features of the 6s performance on paper the Apple a9 looks fairly tame with a dual-core 1.8 gigahertz processor paired with 2 gigs of DDR 4 memory but this is one seriously fast phone I went in depth in a video recently which you guys can check but the success is approaching laptops when it comes to performance you should have no problem playing any game out there for the foreseeable future performance wise is what you would expect it's snappy it's quick it handles whatever you throw at it all this power means the 6s plus does get a bit warm under gaming though nothing too crazy but it's noticeable next to a phone like the note 5 in real use you'll notice the speed but the biggest difference is the extra memory older iPhones had to reload apps all the time where the 6s does a far better job of keeping things in memory where Apple didn't improve is with storage the base iPhone still comes with 16 gigs which just isn't enough it's almost like the base model purely exists to get people to spend the extra $100 to upgrade to 64 gigabytes at least it is fast storage though a non tech dug into the hardware and found the 6s is using what's essentially a full SSD like in the 12-inch MacBook one of the biggest improvements are the new cameras the rear shooter has been bumped up to 12 megapixels and while it's not a huge leap it's still a rock-solid performer there's extra resolution which is helpful for cropping and the color remains nice and natural Apple's camera app doesn't give as much manual controls a lot of Android cameras but it's quick and reliably take solid shots the 10 frames per second burst is still here which is great for capturing action and it has a smart time-lapse mode that can make for some very cool shots the 6s plus has optical image stabilization which is helpful for low-light where it really makes a difference is in video I mean it's almost revolutionary in terms of what they able to do I mean footage almost looks like it's on a Steadicam like it looks really great alright so 4k in my opinion on an iPhone has been a long time coming this entire video has been shot on a success and as you can see it holds up really nicely with a mix of digital and optical stabilization the footage looks nice especially as it's now capable of 4k you've also got solid slow-motion options you can shoot at 120 frames per second or even 240 FPS if you don't mind bumping the resolution down to 720p the new front-facing camera has also been bumped up majorly in quality it now has five megapixels pair with Apple's new live photos which records a bit of video before and after you snap a picture it's a solid upgrade it's a far better looking camera through the last generation and it can use the screen as a surprisingly usable flash one of the biggest advantages of the 6s plus over the normal success is battery life there's just no comparison where I struggle to get through a full day of heavy use with the 6s the plus hasn't let me down yet even with using navigation and shooting 4k video the 6s plus holds up really well on the battery front well it's not a massive upgrade the + improves on a lot of the smaller issues with the last generation it might be pricey but the iPhone 6s plus has definitely earned its spot is my new daily driver just kissed your camera
