On Friday, September 25th, Apple released the next addition to their industry-shaking smartphone, the iPhone. Customers who were fast enough to preorder either the iPhone 6s and/or the iPhone 6s Plus either queued up in front of their local Apple Store or had a courier deliver their unit(s) to their doors.
For the past year, I’ve used an unlocked 128Gb Silver iPhone 6 Plus and have been exceptionally pleased with it. So, when preorders for this next generation of smartphones went live, I stuck with what I knew and ordered an unlocked 128Gb Space Grey iPhone 6s Plus.
After spending most of launch day building and customizing my iPhone, I got a good sense of its new, marquee features—3D Touch, Live Photos, and 4k video—work. From this, I recorded a video illustrating my favorite features and bringing up some of my gripes. Enjoy the video and don’t forget to set the quality to 4k (if your bandwidth supports it).
