For its part, Cricket began to offer the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus on its website and in select Cricket-brand stores, though it admitted that supplies are “very limited”. The next iteration of Apple’s iconic smartphone hit stores today.

While most of Apple’s “toc” upgrades simply introduce better specs, this year’s update is all about 3D Touch, which itself is inspired by the Apple Watch’s Force Touch. The new iPhones have 50% more pixels compared to its predecessors and can take larger panorama photos. Are customers really that interested in the new models? During first year, Apple usually overhauls hardware of the device, together with its feel and exteriors. 3D Touch also lets the phone provide feedback to the user in the form of small taps.
First things first: Apple’s new iPhones go on sale at 8:00 a.m. local time, so only people in the Eastern time zone can purchase one in stores at the moment. Last year, when the iPhone 6 came out, he put the phone to a water test. It only lasted a minute according to his stopwatch. That, of course, depends on a customer’s motivation.
Trade-ins of HTC (58 per cent), BlackBerry (26 per cent) and Sony (25 per cent) devices have all also increased since the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus was announced earlier this month. When you trade in your iPhone 5s for a 16GB iPhone 6s, you only pay $10 a month, and $14 if you want an iPhone 6s Plus. “That will move a lot of people from the 6 to the 6s”.
The iPhone 6s is more evolutionary than revolutionary – it’s not a major change, say from a 4 to a 5 or even a 5 to 6, for example.
Verizon’s new annual upgrade plan is an attempt to better compete with what other wireless carriers are offering.
