Apple launches iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Pro and Apple TV

iPhone 6s and 6s Plus


Recently Apple launched two new version of iPhones, the 6s and 6s Plus, which are the same size as last year's 6 and 6 Plus.

They look largely similar, although they do come in a new "rose gold" colour. What's under the hood is more interesting.

The new iPhones also have an upgraded "A9" processor which the company said made them up to twice as fast. They go on sale on September 25, priced from £539, and can be pre-ordered from September 12.

Apple TV


Another product launched by apple is Apple TV, the company's set-top box, has received a major upgrade that Apple hopes will make it the centre of your living room.

The device has a new operating system, tvOS, which will allow developers to create apps for it, with a heavy focus on gaming.



It has deep integration with Siri, the voice-controlled personal assistant of the iPhone. Apple TV also has an impressive, touch sensitive remote that is used to select programmes, and is motion sensitive for use in gaming.

The Apple TV goes on sale in October. UK pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it will cost $149 for the 32GB model and $199 for the 64GB version.

The iPad Pro is a major upgrade in processing power, has a bigger screen and is almost as thin as the iPad Air, but perhaps most exciting are its accessories.

iPad Pro


For those of you who find their iPad too small, Apple has unveiled a 12.9-inch version of the tablet, compared to the 9.7 inches of the iPad Air.

Apple Pencil


Another product launched by apple is the "Apple Pencil", a sort-of stylus that responds to how hard it is being pressed on the iPad's screen, and showed off a range of applications such as handwriting and drawing.

It also showed off the "Smart Keyboard", a case that includes physical keys, in a clear sign that it is further targeting laptop users.

Apple Watch


The second version of the Apple Watch software, watchOS2, got a release date - September 16.

Fashion house Hermès is also teaming up with Apple to launch an Apple Watch, which has a custom strap and some new watch faces. That'll set you back £1,000 or more
