Display & Cameras

iPhone 6S+ features a 5.5-inch IPS display with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution, which is the same size and resolution as its predecessor.

The camera can record 4k ultra HD videos and can even record 4k videos while simultaneously snapping 8 megapixels still photos.

The rear camera also features optical image stabilisation (OIS), dual-LED flash, phase detection autofocus, and HDR.

Apple also upgraded the front facing camera to make it better suited for a selfie crazy world. The iPhone 6S Plus features a 5 megapixels FaceTime camera.

Apple also added what it calls Retina flash, which brightens the screen so that it can be used as a flash for the front camera.
