Tips and tricks for using your iPhone 6S and 6S Plus


James Martin/CNET

We’ve told you everything you need to know about iOS 9, but the iPhone 6s and 6S Plus bring some eye-catching new features you won’t find on another Apple device.

You can shoot 4K video and you can use Live Photos, a feature that adds an extra couple of seconds of video and audio to your still photos. Also new is 3D Touch, which makes the touchscreen pressure-sensitive. Push in, and you can actually make new things happen, like pulling up a shortcuts menu to save you clicks.
