Top 5 Features To Expect: iPhone 6s

While the iPhone 6 was a huge success, some expect its successor, the iPhone 6s, to be leaps and bounds ahead of it.

From Force Touch to a better processor, there are a number of big upgrades to be expected in the iPhone 6s. In fact, some even suggest that, because of the number of upgrades, Apple will skip the iPhone 6s name and jump straight to the iPhone 7. For now, we will refer to the device as the iPhone 6s. Here are some of the upgrades that we might see from Apple.

1. Force Touch

Force Touch is perhaps the biggest upgrade we should expect from the iPhone 6s, offering users a completely new way to input information into their devices. The inclusion of Force Touch into the iPhone 6s follows its addition to the MacBook line, which has largely been hailed as a positive decision by Apple. The technology itself was created in development of the Apple Watch. Only time will tell exactly what kinds of gestures Force Touch will enable, but it's sure to open up a whole new world of possibilities.

2. 12 Megapixel Camera

Apple's iPhone has long been hailed as having one of the best smartphone cameras on the market. While image quality is great, as our display resolution gets better and better, our photo resolutions also need to be getting better. Apple has remained a little behind in terms of megapixels over the past few years, however, it seems as though the company will address this problem with the iPhone 6s, including a 12 megapixel shooter rather than an 8 megapixel one.

3. A9 Processor

Apple will, as usual, be upgrading its processor for the next iteration of the iPhone, including a new A9 processor in the device. While the processor may certainly improve, Apple is reportedly going to keep the 1 GB of RAM found in the current iterations of the iPhone.

4. A Rose Gold Color Option

To keep in line with the Apple Watch, Apple is reportedly planning on including a rose gold color option to the iPhone lineup. This will bring the total number of color options to four, adding to the silver, gold and space gray versions currently available. This suggests that Apple may bring the "Edition" name to the iPhone, likely along with higher prices.

5. Improved Fingerprint Scanner

Apple will reportedly be offering an improved fingerprint scanner in the next iPhone, enabling users to more quickly and easily scan their fingerprints to access their data and to pay for items via Apple Pay. A better recognition rate for the fingerprint scanner will likely also help improve the adoption rate of Apple Pay.

Apple's latest updates to both its mobile operating system (iOS 8.3) and its computer system (OS X Yosemite) not only give your iPhone, iPad and Mac computer new features, they also make it easier than ever to use them all together. Apple calls this integration between mobile gadgets and Mac computers as "Continuity." In one obvious example of these new connections, some users have been startled when their Mac computer suddenly rings with an incoming phone call. More than once a friend has answered my phone call with, "I didn't know it could do that," the first time her iPhone handed off a call to her Mac computer.

But Continuity does a lot more than just send phone calls to your Mac. In today's Apple Tip, I'll step through 7 top tricks to using Apple's new operating systems both together and separately. From having all of your photos available across all of you gadgets, or starting an app task on one gadget and finishing on another, there are a lot of cool things you can do with these new capabilities.

1. Handoff

Apple's Handoff feature allows you to seamlessly work on the same app and the same task on different Apple gear. For instance, if you started writing an email on your iPhone, you may now finish and send it from your iPad or Mac, provided they are within Bluetooth range of each other. Open a Safari webpage on one gadget and there it is available on your other devices.

Handoff works with your native Apple apps like Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Maps, Messages, Notes, Reminders, Safari, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Some third-party apps including New York Times and others are now or soon will be using Handoff.

To use Handoff, your Mac must have OS X Yosemite, and your iOS devices must have iOS 8. All of your gadgets must have Bluetooth turned on and be signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID.

To turn on Handoff:

On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click General, then select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” (If you don’t see the option below “Recent items,” your Mac doesn’t support Handoff.)

On your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps, then tap to turn on Handoff. (If you don’t see the option, your iOS device doesn’t support Handoff.)

2. SMS text messages on your Mac

Apple's iMessage has long allowed you to message other iPhone users from the iMessage app on your Mac. Now with OS X Yosemite and an iPhone running iOS 8, you can send and receive SMS text messages right from your Mac. So when friends text you, regardless of what brand phone they are using, you can now read and reply from your Mac as well as your iPhone.

All the messages that appear on your iPhone now show up on your Mac, too, so your conversation is up to date on all your devices. You can also start an SMS or iMessage conversation on your Mac just by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, Calendar, or Spotlight. Group chats are now enabled, as well. Click Details to name a group chat, add or remove someone, and see friends who’ve shared their location on a map.

3. Make your pictures pop with Photos' powerful new edit tools

In last week's Apple Tip, 5 reasons you must update your iPhone or iPad now, I mentioned as one of the reasons to upgrade was that Photos is now on all of your iOS and OS X devices. I have been using Photos this week and it really is amazing. If you've ever had to email photos from your iPhone to your Mac when a sync cord wasn't handy, having all of your iPhone pictures just instantly appear on your Mac is pretty incredible.

Also included in the new Photos are powerful new editing tools to fine tune your pictures. Apple Photos edit tools are not on the level of the professional standard, Adobe Photoshop, but it does pack an all new punch. You can make precise edits by enabling the histogram, adjusting levels, adding definition, and more.

Bonus Tip: Want to email more than just a few of your favorite photos? Follow along to see how you can now send up to 5GB of photos (or anything else) in just one email right from your Apple Mail app.

4. Answer your iPhone on your Mac or iPad

As I mentioned above, some users are surprised when their iPhone calls ring through on their Mac. This also works on Wi-Fi-only (non-cellular) iPads. However, to use this feature, all of your Apple gadgets must be on the same Wi-Fi network and signed in to the same iCloud account.

Phone calls on your iPhone will appear in the upper right corner of your Mac offering you the option to accept or decline. To make a phone call on your Mac or iPad tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari.

Bonus tip: Want to change your Mac’s default call ringtone? To set a different ringtone, choose FaceTime>Preferences, then click the Ringtone pop-up menu.

5. No Wi-Fi? No problem!

You can use Personal Hotspot on your iPhone to provide Internet access to your iPad or Mac. You'll need to sign in to iCloud using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. Also, your cell provider needs to support Personal Hotspot, but Apple's website lists 46 U.S. providers, including the majors, that support Apple's Hotspot.

To get Internet access from your iPhone:

On your iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your other iOS device and select your iPhone or other iPad that has a cellular connection.

On your Mac, go to the Wi-Fi menu at the top of your screen and select your iPhone or iPad that has a cellular connection.

6. Mail gets some great new features

Apple Mail gets a major step up with two new features that I really like. I've written before about the explosion of smartphone photography all over the world as we all shoot more pictures than ever. Once you shoot your amazing vacation, graduation, birthday or other photos, chances are you'll want to share them with family or friends. But there's just one problem. As photo quality goes up, so does the file size of the photo.

A full resolution iPhone 6 photo can easily be as big as 3mb or more. Why does that matter? Many email systems will not accept email attachments over 10mb, meaning you can only send about 3 iPhone photos per message. Often your only options are to be very picky about which few photos you share, or bombard your relatives with lots of separate email messages, carrying only about three pictures each. And forget about emailing a video! Depending on the length, videos can span hundreds of megabytes, far too big to ever email. That is, until now.

Apple Mail now offers a way to send large attachments. Or maybe I should say huge, enormous, gargantuan attachments! You may now send attachments up to 5GB in size. How much is 5GB? How about thousands of photos, or at least 3 to 4 full HD movies! It is probably safe to say that 5GB email limit will cover just about anything you might need to send.

Apple calls this new feature Mail Drop and it is built right into Apple mail. Mail Drop automatically uploads the attachments to iCloud. If recipients use Mail in OS X Yosemite, the attachments are automatically downloaded and shown in the message. If recipients use other email apps, they will see a link to download the attachments from iCloud. Your attachments stay in iCloud for 30 days and they do not count against your iCloud storage limit.

Bonus tip: When scrolling through a long list of Mail messages, skip the mouse and use your space bar instead. Use Shift-Space bar to scroll up through email messages or Space bar to scroll down.

Another cool new feature in Apple Mail is called Mark Up. When sending attachments, say photos or PDFs, you can now add notes, circles, arrows or even your signature right on the file without having to open it in another program.

To use Markup on an image or PDF, just hold the pointer over the attachment, click

More button, then choose Markup. The attachment will open with a basic tool bar across the top. To add a signature to your file, click on the signature icon (below) and choose from existing signatures or upload a new one.

7. Share your screen or see someone else's Mac screen

Besides all the topics on my national radio show, newsletters and this website, I also often get asked by family and personal friends for one-on-one tech support. Based on my experience, I know beyond a doubt that actually seeing the other person's screen or showing them how to do something on my screen cuts through 90% of the frustration of trying to explain something just verbally by phone.

Now sharing your screen or requesting to see another user's screen is a cinch in Yosemite. The first step is to ensure that both you and the person you’re trying to share with are using Apple’s Messages app. Open your contact’s message window and select the Details button on the top right hand corner.

The Details button is circled in red below.

A new window will pop up where you will see the Share Screen icon. It is the overlapping blue rectangles next to the camera icon above. To share your screen, just click the Share Screen icon and you can send a request to your contact to either share your screen or ask for access to theirs.
