Finally Apple Released New iPhone 6S & 6S Plus

As per the expectation Apple introduced its ninth-generation iPhones, the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus, at a media event in San Francisco, California on September 9, 2015.This is an updated version of its iPhone series with an identical design and a bundle of new features.

Chief amongst them is a pressure-sensitive display, enabling a feature that Apple calls 3D Touch. 3D Touch allows you to press down on the iPhone's screen to pull up new menus, activate shortcuts, and generally interact with the device in new ways.




While the iPhone 6S maintains the same design and 4.7-inch display size as the iPhone 6, it's being offered in a new color: rose gold. The phone is also built out of several new materials. It's using a new aluminum, which Apple says is its own custom alloy. And its display is now covered with a new glass, the same Ion-X that's used on the Apple Watch Sport. You can play that these changes are, at least in part, designed to make the phone less prone to bending.

3D Touch enables two new ways to interact with the iPhone, which Apple is calling "peek" and "pop." Peek allows you to press on app icons and other buttons to pull up shortcuts directly into specific features. Pressing on the Camera app, for instance, offers the option to jump right into taking a selfie. Pressing on the Facebook app gives you the option of updating your status, taking a photo, checking in, or starting a search. Pop allows you to pull up overlays of photos and videos without actually having them take over the screen; once you move away, you'll be right back to where you were before.

The iPhone 6S will come with a new 64-bit processor, Apple's A9. Usually, Apple isn't giving the details of the processor, but it says that it's going to be 70 percent faster at CPU tasks and 90 faster at GPU tasks, in both cases over the iPhone 6's A8 processor. 


Apple is providing a 12-megapixel rear camera in the new iPhone. This is the first time that Apple has bumped its camera's megapixel count since the iPhone 4S in 2011. The camera is also now capable of recording 4K video, and it's supposed to have an improved autofocus in all cases. It also says that the camera has an improved autofocus. One thing that has not been changed is the lens still protrudes from the back of the phone.

5MP front camera for selfie lovers
The front camera has also been changed now. It's now a 5-megapixel camera with flash: the phone's display just lights up really bright — apparently up to three times brighter than it usually would. It'll also customize the color that it flashes to match the ambient lighting of the atmosphere a photo is being taken in.

Apple has also introduced a feature called "live photos," which will capture a short clip of video alongside every photo that you take. You can turn the feature off, but it's on by default, capturing a second and a half to both sides of every photo. A 12 megapixel image is still captured right in the middle. It's a pretty neat idea — even if HTC and others tried features like this years ago — but there's one reason to be worried about it: storage. All that video is going to take up a lot of space, regardless of how "space efficient" Apple claims they'll be.

Apple is also demonstrating new animated wallpapers on the phone — those may be part of iOS 9 in general, however.The iPhone 6S is also supposed to be getting faster wireless speeds over both Wi-Fi and LTE. Apple says that Wi-Fi should be twice as fast, and LTE is improving with the addition of more bands, now up to 23. Touch ID is also supposed to be improved on this model of the iPhone. Apple didn't go into a lot of detail there, but presumably it'll be faster or more accurate than the sensor on the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6.

Pricing & Availability
iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will be available in gold, silver, space gray and the new rose gold metallic finishes for $0 down with 24 monthly payments starting at $27 (US) and $31 (US), respectively, from Apple’s retail stores in the US, Apple.com, select carriers and Apple Authorized Resellers.

Exclusively at Apple’s retail stores in the US, customers can choose their carrier and get an unlocked iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus with the opportunity to get a new iPhone annually and AppleCare+ on the new iPhone Upgrade Program with monthly payments starting at $32 (US) and $37 (US), respectively.

Both models will be available in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, the UK and the US beginning Friday, September 25, with pre-orders beginning Saturday, September 12.

Apple-designed accessories including leather and silicone cases in a range of colors and Lightning Docks in color-matched metallic finishes will also be available.

So, if you are an iPhone lover go, book yours and enjoy with new version of iPhone smartphones.

Google New Logo Unveiled

Google introduced a new brand on Sep 1, 2015.  No doubt Google has changed a lot in past 17 years in everything. You must be aware of a major update i.e. restructuring of the company. Just a month ago Google has created a parent company called Alphabet. While the new Google logo is still a word mark, but it's now using a sans-serif typeface, making it look a lot more modern and playful. The colors are also softer than they used to be. The logo is a bit more resemblance to the logo of Google's new parent company, Alphabet, as well.

As Google's video introducing the new logo note, the word mark has been evolving since it was created in 1998. But this is simply the biggest change since 1999, when Google first cleaned up the lettering and set up its four colors. The way Google replacing is awesome. What to say of creativity it’s superb.


Making the logo look good even on small screens seems to have a major concern. The new, simpler lettering is supposed to scale better to smaller sizes. It's also supposed to be easier for Google to display this on low-bandwidth connections. Google says that it's made a version of its logo that's "only 305 bytes, compared to our existing logo at ~14,000 bytes." Given that one of new Google CEO Sundar Pichai's big goals is to bring the internet.

I hope this new logo will be even more useful for users and Google across the globe. I personally love this new look. It’s simple & creative too. Thanks
