If you give the screen a firmer touch on the camera app icon, you’ll see that you can go straight to “take selfie” “record video”, “record slow mo” or “take photo”. Apple has introduced 3D touch for the iPhone 6s, and that’s something you can use at this point. By default, this is found in the top right hand corner of the first home screen, but you can move it elsewhere, if you prefer. You’ll be able to look at images taken in in the current camera session in playback, but if you want to see any older photos you’ll need to unlock the phone fully.Īlternatively, if you have the phone unlocked, you can use the camera icon to open the camera app. This makes it very quick to access the camera when you just want to grab a quick shot. You can access the camera module directly from the locked screen by either pressing the home button, or the lock button and swiping up with your finger from the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Ease of UseĪpple uses iOS for its operating system, which is reasonably dissimilar from Android, but if you’ve ever used an iPhone before, of course you will be naturally at home with the iPhone 6s. You can also sign up for storage via iCloud, with a small amount for free, and more available to buy via subscription. The iPhone 6s, like all iPhones, does not have expandable memory, and is available to buy in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB varieties. On the front of the camera is a 5 Megapixel FaceTime camera, which allows you to capture self-portraits, as well as for use during video calls. One of the biggest new improvements for the iPhone 6s is the ability to record 4K video capture - you can also record in standard 1080p HD if you prefer. You can play back the video on the phone, or other compatible Apple devices. Apple also says that it features a new “state-of-the-art” sensor, a new image signal processor, advanced pixel technology, Focus Pixels, improved local tone mapping and optical image stabilisation.Īnother new feature is “Live Photos” - this basically captures a 1.5 second video of the moments before and after the shot has been taken. The iPhone 6s uses an iSight camera, which features 12 megapixels. In our review we’ll be concentrating on the specifications, usability and performance of the inbuilt camera(s), rather than commenting too much on its overall use as a smartphone, but if elements of usability are applicable to photographers, that may be mentioned too.

As with the 6 it is available in a standard version and also a larger, Plus version. Apple announced its iPhone 6s back in September 2015, marking an update to the previous version of its popular smartphone, the iPhone 6.
