iPhone 6s + 6s Plus Review!

2015-10-04
so what's good guys Jonathan here and this is my review of the iPhone 6s and 6s plus now beanie nests upgrades the naked eye you might not notice difference between the six and the six ass aside from the s in the back and a new rose gold color or as Ralphie likes to call it pink as he's right now now screen size or resolution hasn't changed but it does remain one of the key differences between the 6s and the 6s plus the 6s size is in at 4.7 inches with a resolution of 1334 by 750 whereas the 6s plus comes in with a 5.5 inch 1080p display form factor wise I prefer the one-handed field of 6s all day every day but as far as watching a video or playing a game goes good god is the 6s plus awesome now if you're wondering what is different on this upgrade the first thing we want to talk about is speed inside is Apple's a9 processor which dishes out iPad air 2 like speed on a dual-core chip there is now also finally 2 gigabytes of RAM which is long overdue for you multitasking maniacs but as far as how that translates into performance I didn't speed test and comparisons I don't link those below that button that closely resembles an upwards facing thumb but to put it simply the iPhone 6s and 6s plus are fast just performing simple tasks like jumping from app to app or multitask and you can see exactly how speedy and how zippy everything is now it might be a little cliche saying that specs aren't everything but this is a prime example of how that fits because even though it's dual-core the iPhone 6s and 6s plus makes a strong case for being one of the fastest phones of this year on top of that it tears through gaming and Apple's always done a really solid job of dishing out solid gaming performance and the 6s and 6s plus are no different here now staying on the theme of speed touch ID on the 6s and 6s plus are crazy fast by now I'm sure you've heard the complaint that touch ID is too fast where you would normally just want to check your notifications in your lockscreen once you press that button it unlocks the phone now conversely as a little life hack if you're one of those who think touch ID is too fast I've been using a little workaround by either touching it with my nail or a finger that isn't recognized and that will get you through that speed problem following that is probably the biggest change on the 6s and 6s plus that is the new 3d touch display so what it is is a pressure-sensitive screen that will react by how hard you press and let me be clear this is not a long press you can still do that and move your apps around but you are actually physically pressing the home screen and then reacting so right now it is pretty much limited to core applications but it's pretty simple to see which works and what doesn't so for example you could 3d touch the camera icon that will present you with a list of shortcuts same thing with messages email or even the stock clock app and if an app doesn't work it's simply going to shake vibrate and give you a little haptic feedback saying I am NOT ready yet now initially I was pretty skeptical with 3d touch but the longer I've used the iPhone and the more I've used it the more I found myself really enjoying it it's awesome for being able to quick check links while your web browsing and especially an Instagram where you're able to quickly preview a profile without actually opening it there is also a 3d touch multitasking shortcut that almost plays with your mind the moment you find out how to do it you're like oh my god this is awesome it's so much quicker and then common-sense kicks in you're like wait that's actually not faster than double tap in the home button that aside though three touch is actually pretty useful and more importantly as time goes on and more applications and developers take advantage of this this is where you really start to see it make a big impact on top of that it's not going to be limited to just apps or shortcuts once games implement this and some already have it's going to add a completely new element as far as mobile gaming goes now 3d touch kind of transitions us into the next new feature on the 6s and 6s plus that is live photos and live wallpapers now I have completely mixed feelings with these and we'll start with live wallpapers because at first you're like oh my god this is so much fun I move my finger the wallpapers moving and after a couple minutes you're like it's a little bit boring now live photos on the other hand I think those really depend on the application you're using it with at first I thought they were straight up on a gimmick side but then you actually capture a few funny ones and you can start to see where these could be useful fun or actually have some merit are these a game changer absolutely not could you have some fun with these definitely following that the next big upgrade is in the cameras gone is the eight megapixel sensor we now have a 12 megapixel rear shooter on the 6s and 6s plus the front-facing camera has also been upgraded from 1.2 megapixels up to 5 megapixels as far as image quality goes it's as you would expect with an iPhone because if there's one thing an iphone does really well its take photos it's not going to be as sharp or saturated or something like the galaxy s6 but it does a fantastic job of retaining the naturalness of an image and has excellent dynamic range I'm not sure if most people would notice difference between that 8 12 megapixel sensor though but it is nice having an extra detail and room to play around with now while the front-facing camera was a really solid upgrade as far as megapixels go I do wish the lens was a little bit wider because it can be a little bit difficult to fit multiple people in frame as far as video goes like I am shooting right now there is also now 4k video recorded on the 6s and 6s plus there aren't many differences between the 6s and the 6s plus aside from the size but as far as video goes one of the big differences between the two is optical image stabilization when the 6s plus has it and the 6s does not so a 4k video is one of the reasons you're tempted to pick up an iPhone you more than likely want to lean towards the 6s plus because that optical image stabilization is really helpful quality wise it's on point again dynamic range is solid and overall it's just a really nice image on top of that I think it's pretty safe to say that Apple has the best slow motion as far as smartphone cameras go to test it out we dress Ralphy up in a shark suit and shot him with paintballs you no ralphie's were hurt during the making of this video now following now it's going to talk about battery life and I think it's no secret if you're all about all-day battery the 6s plus is the easy choice the f-16s has around 1700 milliamp hours whereas the 6s plus is twenty seven fifty now unfortunately not much has changed from the 6 and 6s plus so that means these 6s is still going to have a really hard time getting through the day whereas the 6s plus will have no problem making it throughout the day and even will survive some of those nights where you forget to plug it in there is one WTF Tim Cook element to these phones and that is storage is 2015 and the iPhone starts out with 16 gigabytes ultimately what it comes down to and it's said but the real reason that they have a 16 gigabyte iPhone is so you are more enticed to pick up the 64 gigabyte model and that equals dollar dollar bills y'all aside from that does the 6s and 6s plus are two of the best smartphone options of 2015 for me I think at the end of the day I would sacrifice battery life in favor of the form factor the 6s I just really enjoy the one-handed use but if you don't mind the form factor or need to use it in one hand the 6s plus is a better option in every possible way you get a bigger crispier screen all-day battery life and of course optical image stabilization which is really important for that 4k video aside from that that wraps up the video hopefully you guys enjoy it hopefully you found it helpful if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to go shark getting shot with a paintball on that like button if you guys have any questions make sure to drop me a line down below I do try to reply to as many as possible you can also hit me up on Twitter or at snapchat this is Jonathan with TLD and I will catch you guys later
