It doesn't have as much stamina, but this is still a worthy successor to the iPhone 6

Unparalleled performance; Excellent build quality; 3D Touch is a real time-saver

Battery life isn't as good as the iPhone 6; 16GB doesn't provide nearly enough storage

We're not sure that statement would hold up in court, but what certainly hasn't changed is Apple's undeniable way of making a great handset even better.

Wonderfully slick in use; Great with video and audio; 3D Touch is surprisingly intuitive

Screen resolution behind some rivals; Not compatible with high-res audio

Apple has updated its flagship smartphones with the launch of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus . The handsets have already been well received by the market, shifting a record 13 million units in their opening weekend - although this record is partly down to the inclusion of sales across China.

Great 12 megapixel camera; fun video modes including 4K; 3D Touch; powerful

3D Touch is a meaningful innovation; Amazing cameras; 2GB of RAM makes the iPhone 6s zippier

Battery may underwhelm power users, Still starts at 16GB, More expensive this year thanks to Aus; dollar

The Apple iPhone 6s has a faster A9 processor, improved cameras, pressure-sensitive touchscreen, and is less prone to bending. It's basically an updated iPhone 6, and comes in new colour options too. As always, Apple has delivered a good product, but it's vastly over-priced.

The iPhone story for 2015 is remarkable in that it is an ‘S' year, which usually means incremental changes with no obvious physical difference from last year's model, but Apple's given the iPhone 6S a complete structural and functional makeover.

Christmas is just one week away and if you are one of those last minute shoppers you might still be looking for a gift. The Apple iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus has been out for a few months now and there are a number of holiday promotions available right now to help entice people to purchase one of...

Love this product! We wanted a new iPhone 6s but had a very hard time finding one that wasn't used. Since we have ATT&T, this was perfect. We simply switched our SIM card from our old iPhone with the new one, and it worked perfectly. No extra hassles or strings attached.
