No 4-inch iPhone 6S announced at event
What we do know however, that the changes on both these phones would not be structural, but based on features.
Taiwanese wireless carriers began taking pre-orders for Apple’s new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus on Thursday, the latest iteration of the U.S. tech giant’s lucrative smartphones that can sense the degree of pressure of a single finger tap.
The mobile phone retailer and exchange service will pay out the following for your device, but there’s a catch – you have to trade it for an O2 handset.
The competition in the USA wireless industry is fierce and the launch of the newest iPhone iteration on Wednesday is a chance for carriers to lure customers away from their rivals.
AppleCare+ is more expensive for the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, possibly due to the new 3D Touch feature. As expected, Three, EE and O2 will offer prepaid plans to the users of the Apple devices. That was the simple way to describe it, as for years Americans were accustomed to signing a two-year contract with a wireless carrier in exchange for a discount on the upfront price.

They will be available in November and start at $799.
Inside the 6S and 6S Plus is a new 12-megapixel sensor with “advanced pixel technology” and an Apple-made image signal processor that delivers better colors in sharper and more detailed photos. It is estimated that Apple will price the iPhone 6s 16GB model at Rs 65,000 and the iPhone 6S Plus 16GB variant at Rs 70,000-72,000.
The plan does seem a good idea for users who like to get a new phone every year.
Apple said the program is available to “qualified customers only with a valid US personal credit card”.
Now, though, most carriers have switched over to this new, cheaper, more transparent way of doing things.
There was also an updated iPad mini introduced during the event. It also includes the ability to replace a broken iPhone at a discount ($99 for up to two incidents). Shares of the company have lost more than 16% since it hit a year-high in April.
