Happy iPhone 6S/6S Plus Day!
It’s that time of the year where Apple releases its very profitable iPhone updates. This year there’s no change to that formulation. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are just updates to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last year. Better camera, better processor, and better overall with the same design. If you didn’t see this coming then I guess surprise!
The only thing that’s totally different is “Force Touch 3D” which makes your phone’s display more interactive and intuitive to your touch. You get quick actions with certain touches and normal response to a tap. It’s very neat and a great feature to add to mobile devices.
A few other things Apple announced today was Apple TV being something that isn’t a side project for Apple anymore with adding apps to an update hardware with a Wii-like controller. We’ve already seen Google, Amazon, and Roku do this with similar device, but since this is Apple that it has the potential to become something we use instead of our cable boxes. Time will tell on this product if this is what Steve Jobs originally intended Apple TV back years ago.
Lastly, we get a Surface Pro like device that has been rumored for years since Apple changed the iPad name to iPad Air. It’s called iPad Pro and runs like a iPad Air, but on a ~13 inch screen. I question its abilities to be a “Pro” device since it doesn’t run Mac OS X on it, but mobile devices are slowly getting to that point where they can do as much as a laptop does for causal tasks. If you need to run gaming or creative software then a Surface Pro would fit you better at this time.
Overall, this is the necessary steps Apple needs to take to compete in the marketplace and stay king. I love the “Force Touch 3D”, but other than that it’s just updates to their product line. Still, really good updates.
