3D Touch

In addition to multitouch, the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus recognize force. It works on the home screen and gives you shortcuts on the stuff you do frequently. Pressing lightly on an email thread, gives you a preview of the message, for example. It also provides distinct and tactile feedback to your presses. Under the display, there’s a vibrating “Taptic engine”, which is similar to the one found on the Macbook trackpad and on the Apple Watch.

A9 chipset

Debuting on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is the Apple A9 chipset. It’s the company’s third generation 64-bit chipset and offers up to 90% faster console-class GPU as well as up to 70% faster CPU performance, 80% mode processing and 90% more graphics power than the A8 generation, according to Apple. It also offers new transistor architecture.

The new 12MP camera can now shoot 4K video, too. Interestingly, the front-facing camera is now 5MP and uses the LCD display as a true-tone flash. There's a special chip inside these new iPhones, which drives the display up to 3x brighter in order to provide the best possible lighting for your selfies.
