Frequently Asked Questions
3D Touch is a feature introduced on the iPhone 6s that allows the display to sense how much pressure you're applying. This enables new interactions like "Peek and Pop" for a quick preview of content or Force-touch shortcuts on app icons.
The iPhone 6s received a major camera upgrade, with the rear camera jumping from 8MP to 12MP, and the front camera going from 1.2MP to 5MP. It also added the ability to record 4K video.
The battery capacity was slightly reduced to make space for the Taptic Engine, which provides haptic feedback for the new 3D Touch feature. Despite this, the phone's battery life was optimized to be similar to the iPhone 6.
While the iPhone 6s was a significant upgrade in its time, it is no longer supported with the latest iOS updates. It can still be used for basic functions, but many modern apps and features may not be supported.
