Apple has released the new the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which hosts many new features, as well as a pink, metal colour.

To the 32 per cent of Canadian Apple fanatics eager to spend their hard earned cash on overpriced but revolutionary products, the California technology giant is back with their largest launch yet.

On Sept. 9, Apple introduced two new iPhones and the long rumoured and thought to have been scrapped during development iPad Pro. As tech enthusiasts expected and like with every fall release, the two smartphones are more of a soft upgrade to their predecessors, than a brand new phone itself.

This means the size and resolution of the phone stayed the same, while the phone’s interior got a generous boost.

One of the most interesting features of the upgraded phone line is the three-dimensional touch technology. Think of it as a right click on a mouse. A light press on an application will open the features like normal, but a hard press will give you a large selection of options to choose from related to that same app.

Another interesting feature is Apple’s Live Photos option. A hard press on the camera will record three seconds prior to your picture being snapped, which gives the picture a greater sense of realism.

Another feature that has been added to the phone is 4K-video, which records at four times the resolution of your standard high definition film.

On the downside, Apple continues to ignore adding an SD card slot into their phones in hopes that consumers buy the higher priced products with 128GB internal storage.

The 4.7 inch IPhone 6S will start at $99, while the IPhone 6S Plus will start at $199.

For years now, the professional line version of the iPad has been confirmed, denied, rumoured, debunked, etc., submerging it into a cult like environment.

This changed last week, when Apple showcased a monstrous 12.9-inch, 2K-display iPad Pro, weighing just over one pound.

For years, Sony was the king of squeezing giant specs into thin tablets, but when Apple finally catches up, they tend to do everything a lot better. Compared to the iPad Air 2, this device has virtually doubled every spec including memory, graphics’ performances and speed, with the device running faster than 80 per cent of all portable computers.

The speed claim is strong given the fact that there are hundreds of laptops that cost three times more than this device.

The tablet will range from $799 to $1,079, once again depending on the amount of internal storage you want.

Also if you plan on using this as a laptop, Apple Smart Keyboard will cost you $169 and $99 for their new Pencil. All new products will be consumer ready for a Sept. 25 release.
