- new models were announced today by Apple
- successors to previous iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- they featured improved hardware specs
- their displays feature technology known as 3D Touch, which allows the device to recognize the pressure of a user's touch inputs, and allow different actions to occur based on how firmly the user touches the screen. Although it is similar, this is distinct from the Force Touch technology used on the Apple Watch and MacBook, as it is more sensitive and can recognize more varying levels of touch pressure than Force Touch.
