As expected, Apple have unveiled the latest model of the iPhone at their event in San Francisco – the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, described by Apple CEO Tim Cook as “the most advanced iPhones we’ve ever created”.

The latest version of the smartphone promises that, while the new phone is not the iPhone 7, “the only thing that’s different is everything”. As well as a new ‘Rose Gold’ (aka pink) version, the 6S comes with new features including ‘3D Touch’, and a highly advanced camera.

3D Touch functions as a sort of ‘right-click’ feature – sensors in the iPhone S6 are able to interpret the amount of force that users exert on the screen and offers new gestures and functionality depending on how hard the touchscreen is pressed.

The new camera features a huge 12 megapixels, is capable of shooting video in 4K HD quality at 30fps, and features a new 'True Tone' flash. Also new are 'Live Photos' - animated images filmed at the same high resolution as still pictures.

As with the previous iPhone 6, the 6S has a 4.7" screen, and the 6S Plus has a 5.5" screen. It will come with 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB models.

The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus will be available to pre-order from September 12, and will be released in the UK on September 25.
