It's just a little past midnight and the major telcos in Malaysia have finally started to announce their price plans for the new Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

While the launch of any new iPhone is usually preceded by much anticipation and speculation, this year's release in Malaysia is especially interesting because consumers here have been waiting to find out how much higher the price of the new devices would be, taking into consideration the weakening Ringgit.

Both iPhone 6s models look identical to their iPhone 6 equivalents, with the exception of a new Rose Gold colour.

More significant upgrades are under hood - 2GB RAM, 3D Touch, A9 chip and better cameras for both devices.

The new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are visibly the same as the previous iPhone 6/6 Plus with the exception of a new Rose Gold colour as pictured above. However, it gets a significant upgrade underneath with an improved aluminium 7000 shell while the display has 3D touch which is similar to the Apple Watch’s Force Touch.

The performance claims to be double of its predecessor with a new A9 chip that’s mated with 2GB of RAM. For taking pictures, the iPhone 6s gets a larger 12MP main sensor while the iPhone 6s Plus model gets added Optical Image Stabilisation. For selfies, you can expect better and brighter pictures with a 5MP front cam which uses the Retina Display as a soft flash in low light situations.
