After months of speculations, Apple has unveiled the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, along with the iPad Pro, new Apple TV and Apple Watch upgrades featuring new bands.
Apple claims that the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are the most advanced iPhones ever, as they feature a multi-touch interface and 3D Touch which recognises gestures like pressing and holding to provide new ways to interact with content and access features.
