TODAY IS THE day that sees some of Apple’s most committed fans showing their allegiance.
The latest devices, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, are being released across the world with queues forming for a number of days in some places.
The best prepared customers across Australia, New Zealand and Asia are among those who’ve already got their hands on the latest device.
One ‘person’ lining-up drew particular attention in Sydney when they used their own self-assembled ‘robot’ to keep their place in the line.
Lucy Kelly’s creation has a tablet attached to a long pole on wheels that can be controlled remotely. It lets her communicate with others waiting in the queue and has even been interviewed by curious reporters.
The 6S includes the 4.7-inch (about 12-centimeter) display of its predecessor and the 6S Plus — one of the more popular handsets in the “phablet category” — has a 5.5-inch screen.
But the devices have more powerful processors that allow for improved graphics, and a new aluminum body.
The iPhone 6S features a new “3D Touch” feature that allows users to differentiate between a light touch and a harder tap, with the phone reacting differently to each.
It also includes high-resolution 4K video shooting.
Apple have predicted that they will sell more than 10 million of the new iPhones in the first weekend of sales.
