In a continuation of its tradition of advancement, Apple unveiled the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, building upon the foundation laid by their predecessors and delivering substantial upgrades that redefined the smartphone experience.

This innovative feature enabled users to engage with their devices in a more nuanced and intuitive manner, responding not only to taps and swipes but also to the pressure and depth of touch. This opened a realm of possibilities, empowering users to access functions and features with newfound precision and contextuality.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus looked much like the 2015 models, with three major exceptions: Apple eliminated the audio jack, changed the home button into a haptic-based virtual button, and added a dual-camera setup in the 7S. The loss of the audio jack, a somewhat controversial move, meant users had to rely on the Apple-supplied earbuds or use their old headphones with the included adapter. Both phones ran on a quad-core A10 Fusion chip, and came in two new colors: Black (a matte-finish charcoal color) and the super shiny Jet Black.
