AT&T iPhone 6s Upgrade Issues Through Next Data Plan

It is curious that only AT&T Next subscribers seem to be affected by the glitch. Other network customers see the correct pricing for the iPhone 6s or 6s Plus they have chosen. You are advised to contact Apple support in case you also see the incorrect charge for your pre-ordered iOS 9 smartphone. You will be asked to check back later this week but you will definitely know that you reported on the problem.

Apple held a special private media event in San Francisco just like it is doing every other year and presented the new ‘s’ lineup of its 9th generation handsets. Let’s compare iPhone 6s Plus to 6 Plus model to see what differences are and how this smartphone changes in 2015.

The iPhone 6 Plus is the 8th gen model and iPhone 6s Plus is the 9th gen version. Apple left the same ‘6 Plus’ name but added the prefix ‘s’ to its newest devices.

iPhone 6s Plus vs iPhone 6 Plus

The main changes are surely the improvements Apple brings to its ‘s’ lineup. Firstly, the iPhone 6s Plus gets the faster A9 chip [the 6 Plus model has the A8 processor]. Secondly, the 2015 model comeswith better FaceTime and iSight cameras compared to the predecessor. Thirdly, the latest phone features Force Touch technology that is absent in 6 Plus smartphone.

Note that not all details are known about the iOS 9 6s Plus model yet because this handset hasn’t been officially released yet. It is coming to the market in the end of September. Apple didn’t talk about all the changes during the introduction event. It only mentioned the major changes and enhancements that are looking and sounding attractive to potential customers.

While iPhone 6 Plus has 1GB of RAM, the iPhone 6s Plus comes with 2GB of RAM. This is a nice addition. Still it is rumored that the 2015 model will get the smaller capacity battery compared to iPhone 6 Plus however this fact will be confirmed only when first customers receive their pre-ordered smartphone model.

iPhone 6s Hey Siri Always On Feature on iOS 9

Apple is about to explain how to use Hey Siri option on iOS 9 and new generation smartphones. The company is bringing iPhone 6s Siri feature that will be always on similar to Google assistant. The famous ‘fruit’ giant decides users don’t need to click on their Home button in order to activate their personal assistant. Everything will be faster and simpler.

While iOS 9 Hey Siri not working on the beta firmware it will be available as soon as Apple unveils new products and makes its mobile operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch officially available to everyone. This might happen this week since rumors suggest the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus models are to be launched next Friday, September 18th and they will be arriving with iOS 9 pre-installed.

It could happen so that the iPhone maker releases Hey Siri always on option on September 15th or 16th since developers haven’t seen the Gold Master beta version yet and they hope it will precede the final upgrade.

Right now we still don’t know if users have to connect to a power source in order to use Hey Siri always-on feature. This will be cleared up on September 9th when Apple presents its fall 2015 updates to public. By the way, the private event this year is teasing with ‘Hey Siri’ tagline so this feature might be outstanding and bring new experience to the company’s fans.

The detailed guide on how to use Hey Siri will be published once this option is launched. Will it support all Apple gadgets or only the latest iDevices such as iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s and 6s Plus? We don’t know yet.

If you own an untethered iOS 8 smartphone you can get similar to Hey Siri always-on experience by getting the free tweak called UntetheredHeySiri. It might not work exactly like the new option Apple is about to introduce.

Apple A9 Processor Specs and Images Leaked

Have you seen Apple A9 chipset yet? The company will officially introduce its new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus that will get Apple A9 processor specs, features and options this week. There are images of this handset part that surfaced online ahead of the public announcement and official release date of the new iOS smartphones.

The picture of iPhone 6s A9 processor is pretty blurry but it has some clear information on it which makes it truly look like the ‘fruit’ product. Since the timeframe is pretty tough the chances that this is the photo of the real A9 chip are pretty high. Firstly, this image has the A9 branding on it and this is how Apple is marking its details for the gadgets. Secondly, this reminds of the 14-nanometer manufacture procedure that is used by Samsung.

The iPhone 6s lineup should get the improved processor and A9 chip could use the special Samsung process used for other devices. You can see that the A9 branding is a bit smaller compared to A8 footprint still it might look exactly like the picture.

The long-awaited Apple keynote is taking place on September 9th. The company will talk about the new generation phones and other devices and programs it is planning to release this fall. Experts think that company will unveil iOS 9 right after the private event.

The new mobile firmware will get a lot of new features and options that should run great on the A9 smartphones. The chip that has leaked looks to be cooler and more powerful than previous processors manufactured for Apple gadgets.

The iPhone 6s should get Apple A9 processor [the next iPad Pro might get A9X chipset that will be more powerful], special 3D Touch screen with Force Touch option, 2GB of RAM and improved cameras.

We’ll know if the leaked image is genuine or fake this week.

iPhone 6s Storage Options Confirmed

The well-known around the world Cupertino-based company is about to officially unveil its new iPhone lineup. Some experts calls the upcoming handsets iPhone 6s and 6s Plus while other mention iPhone 7. The final name will be presented on September 9th along with all the specs. Before the launch experts confirmed iPhone 6s storage options.

What Apple is going to sell in the fall? According to analysts from KGI, the ‘fruit’ company will offer iPhone 6s capacity of 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. Three versions to choose from and two models should be available in 2015.

There were rumors that iPhone 6s storage size will exclude the 16GB model and instead Apple would offer 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions. However it looks that these rumors won’t be confirmed next week.

There were also rumors about sapphire lens used for the new gen iPhone rear camera but these reports are not confirmed and might not be true for the ‘S’ line of iOS smartphones. At the same time, there is information about possible 12MP camera that was improved by Apple, more RAM, improved specs and new iOS 9 features. Still the idea about getting 16GB model might not sound too exciting for a lot of customers who like to take a lot of pictures, make videos, store games and apps as well as songs on their iDevice.

Apple should bring Force Touch to iPhones and 5MP front-facing camera. Consumers should be also offered the rose gold version of the device. We also hear rumors about low customer interest to the upgrade with Force Touch. Analysts predict under 73 million handset sales in Q4 2015.

The big introduction even is approaching. The 16GB iPhone 6 could cost around $200, 64GB could be available at $300 and 128GB might cost $400 for contract models. The 6s Plus versions would be about $100 more expensive than the 6s models [for contract devices].

Hidden iOS 9 Features List

The upcoming iOS 9 features list has a lot of hidden options users might want to learn about [if you are running the most recent official Apple mobile OS you might want to learn more about iOS 8.4.1 unlock possibilities]. You can watch most iOS 9 features on YouTube channel as different experts and devs reviewed most of them or even all of them. We are about to speak about those hidden options iPhone and iPad owners will truly care about this September or in the future.

Firstly, Apple should introduce special battery saving mode. This is a great addition to the iDevice owner who wants to stay in touch and doesn’t like it when his battery life suddenly dies. The mode will automatically turn off your iPhone screen when you put it face down on the surface. Besides, there is Low Power option that can conserve your power and give you more time for using the iPhone when there is no option to charge it soon.

Secondly, the new iOS 9 version will come with iCloud Drive and you’ll be able to access it through Settings – iCloud menu where you will find iCloud Drive option. It’s hidden by default.

Thirdly, Apple allows users searching through Settings and across the firmware. This is a wonderful feature that was absent in iOS 8 and earlier firmware versions.

Hidden iOS 9 features include the scrubber in the Photos application which makes it possible to flip through images right in the camera roll, back to app / back to search feature, Shift key that controls your keyboard characters for typing [turn it on and you will see caps, turn it off and you will see all lower-case characters], redesigned app switcher and Siri. It will become possible to attach files to your Mail right from iCloud Drive and use side switch option for muting and locking your screen on iOS 9.

Besides, you can protect your iPhone with 6-digit passcode once you install iOS 9 platform but Apple also gives you a choice to choose the old 4-digit code system.

iPhone 6S Plus Force Touch Leaks

Apple will soon release the new iPhone “S” lineup. There are a lot of rumors and leaked images of the upcoming handsets. For example, the latest iPhone 6s Force Touch leakage shows the display of the future smartphone with the built-in new technology.

Would you like to see the 2015 iPhone 6s Plus Force Touch image? The photos don’t show the assembled device. Instead, you can only see the display of what is expected to be the new generation Apple handset. There are only two images you can take a look at however they give an idea what the Cupertino-based giant has on its mind for the fall.

What Force Touch iPhone means to users? This shouldn’t be the same technology as used in the Watch or Mac models. Apple is rumored to modify it for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus and this is one of the reasons why experts don’t expect high iPhone sales in the end of 2015 and early 2016.

Customers like to upgrade their smartphones to the most recent generation devices however they are not looking for just Force Touch update along with iOS 9 changes. They want more features and major changes like it was with iPhone 6 compared to iPhone 5S.

If you pay attention at the leaked images you will notice the LCD panel which was absent in the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus versions. This is the main difference between the looks of the previous and future generation handsets.
