If I had an iPhone 6, I'd wait until next year.or, find a way to sell my phone and trade up without it costing me quite so much. In 64GB or 128GB - never a 16GB (those smaller sizes barely hold enough photos and videos to get by if you're the type of person who doesn't delete). If I were to buy a new phone now and didn't get an iPhone 6, I'd buy this, easily. My kids thought Live Photos were cool, but didn't recognize the difference between those and videos (down the road, I think that'll be true for most people, and that's probably the point). My mom already has an iPhone 6, and other than needing more storage for her photos she didn't see anything new she needed, either. My brother-in-law just wanted Live Photos to help him go back and pick better photos, like Burst Mode.
#TINY THIEF IPHONE 6S UPGRADE#
My wife is long overdue for an upgrade from the iPhone 4S, but she didn't care about 3D Touch. Most of my friends and family didn't necessarily care about the iPhone's new features. Do you want it later, or now? Down the road this is going to enable major, major changes in how iPhones and iOS work. It's not a really matter of whether 3D Touch is worth upgrading to now.
A good handful of apps have emerged to take advantage of 3D Touch, but it's going to take a while before it feels widespread.ģD Touch turns the keyboard into a trackpad.
They're not all that customizable, either: what 3D Touch does, or doesn't, do is mostly up to app developers. And, those menus that pop up don't offer all the options I'd want.
But you don't need to use it, you can always do things the same old way as always, with regular touch controls. It's helpful, and surprisingly utilitarian. The ability to pull up menus in the iPhone almost feels like right-clicking on a computer and getting a contextual menu. Pop-out previews are a really clever idea links within Safari preview Web pages without any actual clicks. Apple's building a common language, and evolving what your phone-sized computer can do. When I hold an app and see a menu of extra options under my thumb, it feels almost like a computer, not a phone (the latest MacBooks, which utilize a similar but less sensor-studded trackpad technology Apple calls Force Touch, have pop-up previews in Safari, too). I like using 3D Touch to preview links, or to pop-up related apps. And for the past few years, S phones have introduced evolutionary changes that seriously evolved the phone the iPhone 4S added Siri, and the iPhone 5S debuted the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It's the phone for people who didn't get the iPhone 6 last year. That's obvious: it's an S-year iPhone, and Apple always uses these subtle every-other-year S upgrades to tweak design and ramp up processor speeds. And its newest features aren't as instantly game-changing, at least not on the surface. This year's follow-up iPhone, the iPhone 6S, doesn't improve on that battery. But when I showed her everything else 3D Touch does, she said, "I'm not sure I'd really use this." She pressed on the hypnotically-animated lock screen, a swimming fish. I showed her 3D Touch, Apple's newest technology on these iPhones.
