Let’s say you (like me) are running an ancient iPhone 4S that no one wants, or an old Android phone. As you can see below, the new models of the iPhone line have been both vastly improved engineering wise.

Interestingly, the same thing happened in Apple’s Palo Alto store in California, when the phone went on sale in the US.
The iPhone 6S, first announced on September 9th, made its debut Friday morning.
This time around, some 12 to 13 million iPhones are expected to sell, potentially smashing last year’s iPhone 6 record of 10 million sold. Analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. and RBC Capital Markets also said that iPhone’s growth may not remain same as earlier.

The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus feature a “3D Touch” screen, upgraded camera and faster processor. The 3D Touch alone opens a whole new spectrum of possibilities while exploring the iOS and is the most useful feature Apple has ever come up with as of late. 3D Touch senses how deeply you press the display, which is supposed to make it easier to navigate the device. On Apple’s website, the phone starts from $649.
“I did it because I thought it would be a truly techie way to experience camping out”, Lempesis said. For those who don’t have that kind of cash, Apple offers a program that includes monthly payments and a new phone every year. And lackluster offerings this year from rival smartphone manufacturer Samsung will help Apple’s stand out in the marketplace, analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy wrote in an email. The new iPhone models’ pressure-sensitive screens let you “peek” into content and jump to frequently used actions from the home screen, making more actions accessible more easily. But it’s also facing a crushing wave of price competition and general industry chaos as T-Mobile and Sprint released dueling promotions last week.

This year, customers pre-ordering the iPhone were asked to select a time and store in which to pick up their new handset.
