New Delhi: Apple introduced successors to its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus along with an updated Apple TV, a bigger iPad Pro, and the iPad mini 4 at its San Francisco event on Wednesday. While the two flagship smartphones do not bring in major design change, Apple has updated some key elements in the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus which include improved camera and the introduction of 3D Touch.
Here are the details about the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus you need to know:
Specs
iPhone 6s
The successor to the iPhone 6, the 6s features a 4.7-inch Retina display and is powered by a 64-bit A9 chip with embedded M9 motion coprocessor.

A new feature called 3D Touch, which allows easy access to frequent tasks by holding down on an icon, has been introduced with the new smartphones. With the features, for instance, it'll be possible to update a Facebook status right from the home screen.
Like the predecessors, the iPhone 6s also comes with second-gen TouchID fingerprint sensor built into the Home button.
