The Design

Cameras & Display
The 5.5-inch IPS display on the iPhone 6S Plus has the same size and resolution as its predecessor (1080 x 1920 pixels).
But the screen is now strengthened with sapphire crystal glass and glass that has been ion-strengthened and coated with an oleophobic substance.
The new display is compatible with Apple’s 3D Touch pressure-sensing technology. A new method of engaging with an iPhone 6S Plus is provided through 3D Touch.
Depending on how firmly or softly you push the screen, 3D Touch allows you to access various phone features.
Both sides of the iPhone 6S Plus receive a camera improvement. The 8 MP camera on the back has been replaced with a 12 MP camera with a sapphire crystal lens cover.
The camera has the ability to capture 4k super HD recordings and even 4k videos while taking 8 megapixel still photographs.
Additionally, the back camera boasts a dual-LED flash, phase detection autofocus, HDR, and optical image stabilization (OIS).
Apple has improved the front camera to make it more appropriate for a world where taking selfies is all the rage. FaceTime is captured using a 5 megapixel camera on the iPhone 6S Plus.
Retina flash, which Apple calls its addition, illuminates the screen so that the front camera can use it as a flash.
