Longer battery life, more emojis, and new iOS software may be featured in the highly anticipated release of the Apple iPhone 6S.
Antonella Oliva, a biological science major, discusses her supportive perspective on the product and plans to watch the keynote.
“I have an iPhone 5S and I have been wanting to upgrade to the iPhone 6, but I haven’t been able to,” said Oliva. “So I might as well just upgrade to the new one that’s going to come out.”
Many Students show interest when new and improved Apple devices are released and that has not changed for the speculated release of the iPhone 6S.
Apple has a phone announcement programmed on Siri for the upcoming unveiling.
When Siri is asked, “Hey Siri, can you give us a hint,” she responds with, “well I hear there’s something big happening on September 9.”
According to Apple, the event “Hey Siri, give us a hint” keynote can be watched live on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m.
Connor Chaney, an 18-year-old criminal justice major, said enhancement on the display settings would be a benefit, along with the development of emoticons.
“Having the screen brightness a little dimmer, because at night it’s blinding, would be great,” said Chaney. “And definitely some more food emojis, because there’s not enough food ones.”
On Apple’s website and PR page, you can find an iOS 9 preview release where you can view the various features the software has to offer.
“iOS 9 is full of enhancements you’ll appreciate every day. Your apps become more essential,” and “improvements at the foundation of the operating system enhance performance, battery life, and security,” said Apple website’s press information page.
Meena Zulmai, 18, said that having a longer battery life would be awesome, and has some ideas for new emojis Apple should consider.
“A Starbucks one would be cute,” said Zulmai.
Candice Larson, a professor at Moorpark College in the Film Television and Media Department, does not plan to watch the keynote but thinks that the involvement of technology has been beneficial for students.
“I find that the students are much more savvy now,” said Larson. “Which is great because instead of having to teach the actual hardware, sometimes now we can talk more about the creative aspects.”
According to Larson, a product may come out that students find more fascinating than the iPhone 6S. Students should not restrict themselves to only certain products or name brands.
“I think anyone who just says ‘I only use this’ is closing off a lot,” said Larson.”They need to be open because you don’t know what’s going to happen in the future.”
Caitlyn Stanescu, psychology major, had a neutral tone on whether she will be upgrading her cellphone to the new technology.
“No, right now I have an android,” said Stanescu. “I use to have an iPhone 6 plus, and I’m going to get another one because mine broke.”
Apple store associates had no comment when questioned about the upcoming product due to conflict of interest with the company’s scheduled release date and keynote.
More information will be released on Sept. 9. Tune in to the live keynote for the exciting and much anticipated announcement with more information regarding the new iPhone.
