Apple began shipping the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus today, and many people must do the annual soul searching that comes after an Apple release. Do you jump now, wait another year, or stick with your Android phone? Many smartphone owners are on an every-other-year upgrade cycle.
A few hardcore Apple lovers get the latest iPhone annually. Waiting years until your last phone is a broken, sluggish, former shell of itself is also a completely valid upgrade philosophy. The iPhone 6S screen detects pressure, a feature Apple calls 3D Touch. Pressing harder than a tap mostly triggers shortcuts and previews. The phone issues different vibrations to let you know you've pushed hard enough. Is it any good? Getting around the phone is absolutely faster, when you do it right. The 3D Touching takes a bit of practice. I keep making the same mistakes, like not pushing hard enough on an icon and making all the apps jiggle instead. Or pressing on things that don't support 3D Touch. Will these enhancements meet customer expectations and continue to drive Apple's explosive revenue growth?
