As it always is, there has to be a leader in any sort of industry, and it so happens to be them. You might say it’s their charm, or their style, or just that their products are better. But at the end of the day, there always has to be a winner. And it’s Apple.

Anyway, Apple’s new iPhone 6S was launched in the usual style expected buy the company on the 9th of this month. The usual fanfare of the globally live streamed event and appearance by current figurehead Tim Cook saw the new 6S, with the new 3D Touch system and of course the exact same look as last year’s model (but trust us, it’s made of much, much better materials) the new 6S is expected to smash records for sales on release.
