Apple iPhone 6s Plus 16gb

This is the bigger brother of the iPhone 6s. The two were announced at the same time in September 2015. The iPhone 6s Plus is the superior version of the iPhone 6s. It is bigger and better. Well, although that could be true, it is also right to say that the iPhone 6s still is a great phone but those who want a bigger iPhone 6s will find solution in the 6s Plus. This is an overview of the iPhone 6s Plus, a decision making guide for persons looking to buy an iPhone.

Design and build

 Apple iPhone 6s Plus  16gb features the same design and build as the iPhone 6s. A full metal unibody build that sees it measure 192 grams. It measures 158.2 mm tall, is 77.9 mm wide and is 7.3 mm thick. It is has a slim design that makes it look very sleek indeed. Facing you is its 5.5 inches display panel, an earpiece and a selfie camera on the top bezel. A physical home button on the lower bezel that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. It is a very quick and effective one. On the back side is a simple and classic iPhone setup featuring a secondary camera with an LED flash on the top right corner, iPhone branding on the lower bottom and an outstanding Apple’s logo in the upper middle of the back. The build is very solid and it has an attractive design. Typical iPhone.

Display

The  Apple iPhone 6s Plus 16gb has a 5.5 inches display panel of 67.7% screen to body ratio. It is an LED back light IPS LCD capacitive touch screen that supports 16 million colors and multi touch. It is a very good looking screen with sharp colors and eye friendly brightness. With its 1080 x 1920 pixels (401 ppi pixel density) you get very a close to natural display with the iPhone 6s Plus.  There is the addiction of ion strengthened glass, oleophobic coating for protection of the display. This allows for durability of the display and protection against scratch and crack. It also has 3D touch display and display zoom. Not a display you will find on any regular smartphone in the market.

Performance and memory

It comes running on iOS 9 from its box which can be upgraded to iOS 10.3.2 and comes with Apple’s own A9 chipset. A dual core 1.84 GHz Twister CPU and PowerVR GT7600 (six core graphics) GPU for graphics performance. Graphics on the iPhone 6s is very impressive especially in game play and videos.  Then you get a very seamless and smooth experience here, a very snappy phone it is, regardless of the number of applications running in the background. I have come to love iPhone for this reason. I hate it when my phone hangs and lags when using it, that is a close to never experience on the iPhone 6s Plus.

There are four versions here, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB internal memory. All run on 2G of RAM.

Battery

Apple seals a non removable 2750mAh battery on the Apple iPhone 6s Plus 16gb. It is a very good capacity real time than on paper. With its endurance rate of 85 hours you get up to 5 hours of screen on time on full out usage with the 6s Plus. It will give you up to 80 hours of music play, 24 hours of talk time (on 3G) and up to 384 hours on 3G standby. This is a good battery performance if ask me.

Camera

The camera of the Apple  iPhone 6s Plus  16GB is another one of its strong hold. Apple is well known for including very good camera hardware and software on their smartphones. That is true for iPhone 6s Plus. It comes with a 12MP primary camera of f/2.2 aperture. It has phase detection, good autofocus, optical image stabilization and a Dual LED (dual tone) flash. A secondary camera of 5MP count, f/2.2 and has face detection, HDR and panorama modes. Both cameras are great. They shoot appealing pictures that retain detail even in zoom. They are crisp, sharp and very detailed. You can play around with the camera software and find out how interestingly other features like geo tagging, face/smile detection and HDR hold up. Video recording is at 720p@240fps up to 20160p@30fps. Included features are simultaneous 4K video recording and 8MP image recording. The camera on the iPhone 6s Plus is one all video and photo fans will love a lot.  

Connectivity, network and sound

Network: Nano SIM. GSM, CDMA, HSPA and EVDO
