New iPhone On The Market
It’s not unusual to see Apple fans lined up at stores for the latest iPhone, but there was something a little unexpected in Friday’s Palo Alto queue: a robot.
Another Apple fan, Thien Nguyen, had been queuing up outside the Covent Garden Apple store in the heart of London since Thursday evening for over 12 hours, waiting to buy the phone for his mom’s birthday.
As is always the case each year, Apple Stores are your best bet if you’re looking to purchase a new iPhone today.
The new iPhones are hitting store shelves Friday morning.
The iPhone 6s will start at $199 and $299 for 6 Plus. The Plus costs $100 more. The monthly payment for the iPhone 6s is $37 a month. The rear camera in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus has a 12-megapixel resolution, up from 8 megapixels previously. The iPhone 6s Plus will be $5/month. But, for the time being, that’s the easiest way to find them as they appear on the App Store.
Sprint has just rolled out a $1 a month installment plan for the new 6S as part of its “iPhone Forever” package.
“If you have an iPhone 6 and you are a frequent device upgrader anyway, there are some really interesting and great deals out there from Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile”, Entner said.
Apple said that it expected to sell over 10 million devices during the launch of the iPhone 6s, which is more than the launch of the iPhone 6.
In the years in between those major revisions, the company introduces versions with incremental improvements, designating them with an “s” appended to the model number. Pre-orders began earlier this month. On Demand. As of now, there is no other US carrier offering such offers. Last year’s models are now $100 cheaper than the new ones. The new iPhones are available in four colors, with a new rose gold aluminum finish, silver, gold and space gray.
The new models, which are the same size as past year, feature improved cameras and 3D touch, a display technology based on a “Taptic Engine” that responds according to how hard users press their screens.
