wanna know what it's like to own an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus well let's take a look both phones support an almost identical design to last year's model however this time around they're made with a tougher aluminum which makes them ever slightly thicker and heavier to protect from possible bending when in your pocket and we have our good friend Lu the last phone vendor to thank for it but the only other difference is you'll file with this year's s model is of course the S on the back and the addition of the new rose gold color but now that we have a better idea of what it looks like let's talk about how it actually feels to use these to the size you pick is definitely up to you but there are of course different benefits between the two in the hands is a pretty standard experience on both devices however handling the 6s plus may take some getting used to if you aren't used to using big phones yet and because of the curved design and the size of the 6s plus it may be a bit slippery in the hand and trust me you don't want to drop a large phone like this a pretty sweet solution is using a skin like the one I have here from slick wraps and as you can see I'm sporting the dope new Imperial trooper skin which is a great option if you want to avoid adding the bulk of a case and change the texture to something a lot less slippery while still sporting some awesome looks and I'm not gonna lie to you guys this skin in particular has really made me a believer in phone skins I'll of course have links down below if you guys want to check them out but using the 6s feels very natural for all normal things like texting talking on the phone and pretty much anything else because it's right in the sweet spot for phone sizes the 6s plus is definitely much larger the and requires a bit more time to get used to the overall feel of it something as simple as putting the phones away in your pocket has slight differences with the 6s you can throw it in just fine but with the 6s plus it's a bit more noticeable but honestly it won't be much of an issue unless you're wearing tight pants the two biggest advantages to owning the success plus versus the normal success is of course the bigger 1080p display it's great for media consumption and while the 6s doesn't look bad it's still nicer to have a big screen when watching your favorite videos or even playing games the other advantage is having a bigger battery with the 6s plus I'd expect to charge the iPhone 6s towards the end of a workday but I found that I only need to charge the 6s plus before bed and I'd call myself a pretty heavy user now you might be wondering what's new with these phones and is it worth upgrading to the first change you'll find in this year's models is the a9 processor which is the same in both phones and this is a spec bump that allows the phone to be snappier and handle more intensive applications the new iPhones are really fast but you probably won't tell a difference unless you're comparing it side-by-side to an older model as expected the new iPhones are smooth performers allowing for quick and fluid use of iOS and you'll have no issues jumping between apps and making the most of what I OS has to offer you'll be able to go about your daily activities with virtually no lag it also seems like we have a much faster touch ID sensor which sounds great but man has this thing been annoying to me don't get me wrong I love touch ID but if you have a ton of notifications waiting for you and you'd like to check them on your lockscreen if you wake your phone with your thumb it'll register it so quickly that you'll miss the notifications and you'll have to go into the notification drop-down in order to see them it's not a big deal since you can wake the phone with the power button but if you're used to using your thumb like me it can get pretty frustrating Apple has also upgraded the camera on both phones to a 12 megapixel shooter which performs excellently while the megapixel number may not be as high as some of the other phones out today it still produces amazing images and definitely ranks in my top 3 smartphone cameras today also with the new camera is 4k video videos are definitely super crispy in 4k and with the iPhone 6s plus you get optical image stabilization which will help you get smooth video even while in motion something to keep in mind though is that you have the 16 gigabyte model you're probably going to run out of space really quickly recording a 4k don't buy 16gb my model and for the selfie takers out there Apple has introduced a retina flash this turns our screen into a giant flash and it's similar to what we've seen on Mac books and IMAX I rather say it works pretty well another cool new feature with the cameras is the addition of live photos with this you get to capture a few moments after the original picture was taken and it can be pretty cool to see a bit more than you thought to capture in your shot now the biggest change will come across with the new phones is 3d touch with this you can press the screen with a bit of pressure and it'll cause different things to happen depending on the app your name now keep in mind this requires actual pressure on the screen and it's not just the long press this will give you quick access to certain features within apps right from your home screen and to compare with something we're all familiar with you can pretty much think of it as a right-click it of course has different functions in different apps and a few examples are being able to preview emails or text messages without actually having to open them viewing any live photos you've taken or even previewing a picture or someone's account on Instagram now this might be one of those features you completely forget about and never use but I thought that would be the case with the reach ability feature and now I wish every big phone I used had it these are indeed the best iPhones today but if you're coming from the iPhone 6 or 6 plus I probably wait till the iPhone 7 comes out if you're looking to pick up a new one hopefully you enjoyed the video and if you did be the cool guy that gives it a thumbs up I'll catch you in the next one till then it's your average consumer pace
