The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus go on sale this Friday. Apple gave review units to a small number of people two weeks ago, and they were allowed to post their reviews starting yesterday. Thus, if you want to learn more about the 2015 models of the iPhone from folks who have had a chance to try them out, now you can do so. Some reviews are more interesting than others, and here are the ones that I recommend if you want to read more:
- John Gruber of Daring Fireball explains why the iPhone 6s is a bigger advancement than last year’s iPhone 6 was.
- Christina Warren of Mashable believes that 3D Touch is a game changer, likes the new Live Photos feature, and also likes the new pink color (which Apple calls Rose Gold).
- John Paczkowski of BuzzFeed loves 3D Touch.
- Attorney Nilay Patel of The Verge prefers the iPhone 6s Plus, and likes 3D Touch but thinks that third party developers need to start implementing 3D Touch before it will live up to its potential.
- David Pogue of Yahoo Tech says that the biggest improvements are speed and 3D Touch.
- Joanna Stern of the Wall Street Journal is disappointed that Apple didn’t improve the battery life, and thinks that Live Photos is the best new feature.
