Claiming to be Apple’s most advanced iPhone yet, the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will be coming with new physical features, as well as many new digital innovations. The front camera on the iPhone 6s has been upgraded as well, with the new phone boasting a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter. The new screen has however been tweaked to include a variable refresh rate feature that significantly improves the device’s battery life.

Inside the guts of the new iPhone there have been improvements to the camera, including increasing the megapixels to 12 and new sensors that enable quicker access to various functions. During the demo of Apple Pen, the iPad Pro worked well with this device, according to Mr. Phil Schiller who is now Apple’s Chief Vice President of Worldwide Marketing.

There is speculation that this might be the last 7.9-inch tablet from Apple, as devices of this size have seen significant competition from the 5.5-inch iPhones, resulting in lowered sales. Furthermore, Apple also took the wraps off the giant 12.9-inch iPad Pro along with the company’s first ever stylus otherwise known as the Apple Pencil. This keyboard lies flat against the surface you place it on and folds up to cover the display of the iPad Pro while you’re on-the-go. The new Apple TV is a huge leap and will have a big impact on the living room battle. Apple is confident to win back die-hard iPad fans with its innovative iPad Pro as Apple’s iPad business is shrinking continuously. Since no one else had announced anything yet, Logitech was basically the first to announce a third-party keyboard case for the iPad Pro.

Finally, the new generation of Apple devices will operate on a brand new OS, iOS 9. You can also directly edit the video using iMovie and upload the 4K content to Youtube with a few taps.

The new tablet, which will become available in November, starts at $799.

Apple iPad Pro comes with a stylus, the Apple Pencil, which is able to read various stroke types, enabling user to draw, shade, and carry out delicate movements. Seems like there may be a long queues outside Apple retailers in India at launch this time around as well.

A much rumoured revamp of the Apple TV was also confirmed, with Apple’s voice assistant technology Siri now integrated to use in searches.
