iPhone 6s' Impressive 'Live Photos'

Live Photos
The iPhone 6s Camera is performing really well so far. The new color options (rose gold, anyone?!) may be impressive, but the camera feature of the 6s is blowing many users already.

The smartphone's 12-megapixel camera is capable of taking Live Photos, which are a completely new approach to capturing memories. Neither GIFs nor videos, these Live Photos appear as usual in the photo stream until the user press on them with the iPhone 6s's 3D Touch.

The high-quality files are still images, but with an extended capture moment of one-and-a-half seconds before and after the photo, allowing the users view a moment of vitality surrounding each actual photo — such as rippling water or the beginning of your toddler's laugh.

Live Photos can include sound and are viewable across Apple devices . . . even on the Apple Watch! The best part? The user don't have to do anything different to take one; the feature is default selected at the top of the iPhone camera (near other options such as HDR and the self-timer), and they simply take pictures as usual.

Other iPhone 6S and 6S Plus Camera Specs
  • All photos will be HD: The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus each come with a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel FaceTime camera, which means larger panoramic images (sans stitching) and well-balanced light.
  • Videos will be insanely detailed: HD video comes standard with the iPhone 6s, which will also offer 4K video capabilities. This type of resolution boasts 8 million pixels in every frame — 1080p videos are a thing of the past!
  • FaceTime photos will be well lit: To balance the eyesight camera's TrueTone flash, the front-facing camera on the 6s models will use its Retina Display capabilities to create a natural, balanced FaceTime photo flash.
