The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, updated and more powerful versions of the iPhone 6 range, will launch on September 25, Apple has announced.

Powered by the new 64-bit A9 chip, the new iPhones boast a 70 per cent increase in processing capability and a 90 per cent improvement in graphics performance, when compared to the A8 found in the iPhone 6.

Apple’s headline new feature is 3D Touch, which senses force to “enable intuitive new ways to access features and interact with content”.

That and you can get an iPhone in Rose Gold to match your Swarovski jewellery.

“The only thing that has changed with iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus is everything – 3D Touch lets users interact with iPhone in entirely new and fun ways, and the innovative Live Photos brings your pictures to life,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “These are the most advanced iPhones ever, with 7000 series aluminium, ion-strengthened glass, the new 64-bit A9 chip, 12-megapixel iSight and 5-megapixel FaceTime HD cameras, faster Touch ID, LTE and Wi-Fi. Customers are going to love them.”

The basic 16GB iPhone 6s will cost £539 off contract, with pricing shooting up to £789 for the 128GB iPhone 6s Plus. Pre-orders will open on September 12.
