The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus retain the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display sizes, respectively, but they’re being offered in a new rose gold colour and are running Apple’s A9 64-bit processor. Thus far, the feedback has been mostly comical, with Twitter and Instagram users poking fun at the iPad’s significant size increase (featuring a whopping 12.9 inch screen).

Amongst all the hullabaloo of the iPhone 6s and iPad Pro launch event, was also the announcement of iOS 9.

The Smart Keyboard features keys that contribute to the accuracy, satisfying key feel of standard keyboards and stability.

Irish Examiner cites several new features of the iPad Pro.

After months of speculations, Apple has unveiled the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, along with the iPad Pro, new Apple TV and Apple Watch upgrades featuring new bands.

The Apple TV has also had its interface and software overhauled in order to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Fire TV box and service.

This will maximise iPhone sales across the world and guarantee its leading smartphone brand position, he adds. There is also improvement in camera quality over iPad mini 3. Maps will now have transit information, and iTranslate is a new app that can translate in 90 languages. The product, which the company long called a “hobby” gets its own app store and will work with Siri, Apple’s digital assistant. The Apple Pencil is more than just a stylus as it has built in sensors that can detect force, position as well as tilt. The Apple Pencil is able to distinguish strokes and pressures, thus allowing users to draw and shade like they would, using a traditional pen. This program combined with the Apple Pencil nearly eliminates the actual need for a canvas and paintbrush, the company said. Keep these in mind as Apple and its partners prepare to release two of the biggest, and perhaps best, smartphones of the year.

Apple is keen to avoid a repeat of bendgate; the new iPhones are made from 7000 series aluminium, an aircraft-grade material. ($99 and $199 now – in the US). The “biggest news in iPad since the iPad“, was how Apple’s top honcho Tim Cook described the latest tablet.

However, the latest upgrades may leave some investors and users underwhelmed.

Apple has kept the pricing the same as it was for your last year’s phones.

The screen has been enforced and it’s the strongest screen Apple has ever come out with.
