Unlike their previous timetable, Apple will make the new iPhones available for sale on 25 September, with advance orders starting on 12 September. This schedule is about a week later than Apple's typical playbook. Usually, new iPhones go on sale on the second Friday after their announcements.
Consistent with past models, the iPhone 6s will start at US$ 200 with a two-year service contract. The iPhone 6s Plus will start at US$ 300 with a contract. Last year's models will cost US$ 100 less.
The markets getting it right away are the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the U.K.
The base models of the new iPhones will come with 16 gigabytes of storage, even as Samsung and other phone makers are now offering 32 gigabytes to start.
But for US$ 100 more, Apple is offering 64 gigabytes. For an extra US$ 200 over the base prices, Apple is offering 128 gigabytes.
Apple announced the new iPhone details during the launching last 9 September in San Francisco.
Another anticipated feature of the new iPhones are the sharper cameras.
Apple says that the main camera on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will have a resolution of 12 megapixels. It's the first increase since 2011, when the iPhone 4s got 8 megapixels, compared with 5 megapixels before.
But many high-end Android phones have long had more. Samsung phones, for instance, have 16 megapixels, while an upcoming Sony phone will have 23 megapixels.
Apple said that it waited until it could ensure delivering more megapixels without image degradation.
Meanwhile, the front camera for selfies is getting a boost to 5 megapixels, from 1.2 megapixels, matching Samsung's latest phones. Plus, the new iPhones will use the main display as a flash, something the front camera now lacks.
And video recording will be improved to the Ultra HD, or 4k, resolution found on Samsung and Sony phones.
Lastly, Apple introduced the faster processors and a new feature called 3D Touch, which allows easy access to frequent tasks by holding down on an icon. For instance users can get quick access to tasks such as taking a selfie or getting directions home. From a message, 3D Touch will give users a preview of a Web link without launching the browser.
Apple introduced this concept with some Mac laptops in March. It's called Force Touch on other devices. Press for a few seconds on a document icon, and a preview pops out. Press on an address in an email, and a map opens up. On some video apps, the pressure determines how quickly you forward or rewind.
