It’s been almost a month since Apple introduced the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in the United States. The handsets are also expected to launch in more countries.
If you’re based in India, you’ll be glad to know that the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have launched in India. The handsets are available at 12,000 locations, including leading retail stores like Chroma and Reliance Digital, as well as through several online retailers like FlipKart, Snapdeal, and Amazon.
Pricing and Availability
As far as the pricing is concerned, the iPhone 6S costs INR 62,000, INR 72,000, and INR 82,000 for the 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB models, respectively. As for the iPhone 6S Plus, it starts at INR 72,000 for the 16GB version, while the 64GB and 128GB models cost INR 82,000 ($1,263) and INR 92,000 ($1,417) respectively. All color options, including the popular Rose Gold, are also available for purchase.
The availability of these devices in India marks a significant step for Apple, as the Indian market is one of the fastest-growing smartphone markets in the world. By making the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus available through a wide range of retail and online channels, Apple aims to capture a larger share of this burgeoning market.
Improved Internals and Features
The new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus come with improved internals, including the new A9 processor, which Apple claims is 70% faster than the A8 chip found in the iPhone 6. This makes the new models more efficient and capable of handling more intensive tasks. Additionally, the devices come with 2GB of RAM, which is double the amount found in the previous generation, allowing for smoother multitasking and better overall performance.
The storage options remain the same as previous models, with 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB variants available. However, many users have expressed a desire for a 32GB base model, as 16GB can quickly become insufficient given the size of modern apps and media files.
One of the standout features of the new iPhones is the 12MP rear camera, which is a significant upgrade from the 8MP camera found in the iPhone 6. The new camera not only offers higher resolution photos but also introduces 4K video recording, allowing users to capture ultra-high-definition videos. The front-facing camera has also been upgraded to 5MP, making it ideal for selfies and video calls.
The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus ship with iOS 9 as their operating system out of the box. iOS 9 brings several new features and improvements, including a more intelligent Siri, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and a new Low Power Mode that extends battery life.
Another notable feature is 3D Touch, which adds a new dimension to the user interface by allowing the screen to detect different levels of pressure. This enables new gestures like “Peek” and “Pop,” which provide quick access to various functions and previews without fully opening apps.
Anyone interested in picking up the iPhone 6S or 6S Plus, or do you have any other handset in mind? The launch of these new models in India provides consumers with more options and the latest technology from Apple, making it an exciting time for smartphone enthusiasts.
