DESIGN

iPhone 6S Plus is a replica of the iPhone 6S apart from a few things. This smartphone generally has a thin and light theme. It measures 158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm and weighs 172g. it is made of a Glass front (Gorilla Glass), an aluminum back, and an aluminum frame. it has rounded corners which gives the phone a seamless feel. It is the first iPhone to move the power button from the top to the side therefore much easier to reach. At the front is a 5.5-inches screen display. At the top of the display is a single selfie camera for photos, face recognition, and video calls. There is also a speaker for calls. There is a fingerprint scanner for authentication at the front in a circular shape.

On the left side are volume keys that are tactile upon pressing. They are positioned well for easy access and efficiency. There is also a physical mute switch which is very useful. On the right side are a power button and a 2 in 1 tray that houses Dual 4G/LTE Nano sim cards.  At the rear is a single selfie camera and an LED flash to light up your world. Down below you get a 3.5mm headphone jack for you to listen to the audio. There is also a stereo speaker and a microphone for calls.

3D TOUCH AND DISPLAY

Bigger and better is the iPhone 6S Plus as it comes with a 5.5-inch display which is way bigger than the 4.7 inches that are spotted on iPhone 6S. Like this will mean so much more especially for gamers and movie lovers who really adore the screen. The 1080x 1920 resolution is however still similar to that of iPhone 8plus, and iPhone 7 Plus which also have a 401 PPI density. This display has a lower power consumption, dynamic and rich colors, fast responses with also high picture resolution.

You have to enjoy the 3D Touch that comes with the iPhone 6s Plus as it comes with a handful of features. Originally, iPhone 6 was the first iPhone to feature this multitouch screen and brought out a new revolution to how we got to interact with the phones. The 3D Touch is also seen in iPhone 6S and brings three levels of pressure sensitivity to the device.

CAMERA

We have to toast to the fact that Apple has improved its cameras from 8MP (iPhone 6s) to 12MP thus bringing it closer to its competitor Galaxy Note 4. You will be able to achieve great photos and cut on the chase of fiddling around with the shutter. In daylight, wide camera photos have rich details, impressively low noise, and excellent dynamic range. The contrast is great and the images are sharp. In good lighting, portraits have great details and color. Subject separation is great and background separation is excellent.

There is a 50% increase in phase-detection sensors and focus pixels thanks to the A12 chipset. While in video mode, the camera can record 4K footage while panorama mode is able to take shots of large images of up to 63MP. For eye-catching selfies, the face time front camera has an increased 5MP resolution and allows the brightness of the display to be used as a flash substitute in dimly lit conditions. Colors and contrast are great with the Auto HDR off being outstanding.

PERFORMANCE

iPhone 6s Plus is quite fast and even surpasses the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in benchmark tests. Funnily enough, while other smartphones come with 4,6 and even 8 CPU cores, this device only manages to deliver the same performance with only 2 cores. If you’re still wondering how this makes sense then take a seat back. The explanation is simply that fewer cores equal to faster phones.

This iPhone runs iOS 8, upgradable to iOS 12.4.6 similar to that of the iPhone 6 which has aesthetically appealing widgets and displays along with a beautiful lock screen. Imessage offers emojis that are larger and the stickers are bigger. Messaging will be much fun with emojis that best explain your idea and bring out humor. Siri has been made the best personal assistance not only can you ask her normal questions but also request her to access third-party Apps. Images and photos have now been improved to give you a realistic experience.

It is powered by Apple A8 (20 nm) and Dual-core 1.4 GHz Typhoon (ARM v8-based). This will enable you to perform heavy-duty tasks such as gaming. You can enjoy feeding in your social media accounts without lags and overheating. It is battery efficient.  Replying to emails, browsing, gaming, streaming, and watching your videos can be done easily.

128 GB STORAGE

By now we all know that iPhone does not play when it comes to the storage spaces of its phones. this particular one gets 64GB ROM (similar variants are found in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s)for internal storage of your Apps, games, videos, music, and documents. You can store more and delete less of your favorites without even needing an external storage tool.

BATTERY

One of the main reasons that would make you choose the iPhone 6s Plus over the iPhone 6 is the battery life. Finally, you will get to enjoy playing games, scrolling through social media, and even taking endless photos without fearing about your phone running out

SOUND QUALITY

Just as we saw in the iPhone 6, iPhone 6S Plus does not disappoint in the sound quality. The speaker manages to be louder and clearer than even that of Galaxy S5 and LG G3. It is an ice breaker when listening to movies or when your headphones are not with you. You can, however, get yourself some Apple AirPods if you want to enjoy your music or movies within your space.

FACE ID AND FINGERPRINT SCANNER

Just as the higher-priced iPhone 6 Plus, this device also uses face ID as an authentification means. It uses 3D facial mapping for efficiency which is quite fast and still requires you to swipe on the screen after you have been recognized. Similar to what we find in iPhone SE, iPhone 6S, and iPhone 5S, there is also a front-mounted fingerprint scanner that is very fast and reliable. With just one touch access is granted. The safety of your files is guaranteed.
