every time a new s model iPhone comes out we're left wondering is this yet another incremental upgrade from Apple maybe Apple is just giving people with the previous s phone something to upgrade to but could it be that the s phones are actually the most innovative iPhones it started six years ago with the iPhone 3GS that was the first and last time Apple told us what s actually stood for speed it stands for speed it also brought video recording more storage a compass and oh yeah voice control calling a friend with a voice command didn't sound innovative but it did lay the groundwork for what would later become one of the iPhones killer features two years in a new iPhone design later the 4s launched and with it came Siri it also brought up to 64 gigs of storage Apple's first dual-core processor and a kick-ass camera Siri didn't seem like a big deal but today the virtual assistant is the control center for getting things done on products beyond the iPhone want to turn off your home kit compatible light bulbs Siri can help can't figure out who's in that movie playing on your 4th gen apple TV Siri can do that too next the iPhone 5s came along and while its camera improved everything else did feel like an incremental upgrade except for one thing touch ID some manufacturers like Motorola tried it before but this was the first time we saw user friendly fingerprint scanning on a smartphone and it really worked but besides unlocking your phone it didn't do much it was only later that we discovered that touch ID would let us unlock third-party apps and most importantly it was a cornerstone of Apple pay the iPhone 6s is here and we're left searching for clues that point to the future of the iPhone it's camera is improved in now shoots 4k video and it's front-facing camera will give you the sharpest selfies ever and there's 3d touch pushing in and doing what feels like an Android long press might feel gimmicky but the potential is greater than that imagine different types of presses a lighter press brings up a menu but a deeper press could do something like take you to the home screen ultimately 3d touch could be the home button killer it's safe to say that the S phones have gotten a bad rap and some are saying that the 6s is yet another forgettable upgrade but looking back the features of the S phones introduced are what make the iPhone so successful and right now it's looking like the iPhone 6s is no exception you
