Apple goes BIG: iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with new 3D touch screen, 'monster' 12.9inch iPad Pro and TV box to put apps and games on the big screen

Apple CEO Tim Cook introduces the new 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro

Apple has unveiled a massive revamp of its products including new iPhones, a 'monster' iPad with a 12.9inch screen and a new $149 TV box that can run apps and games. At a special event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Tim Cook showed off a raft of products, which also include new colours and straps developed with Hermes for the Apple Watch.

 The new iPhones, called the 6s and 6s Plus, include a new rose gold option and a new screen technology called 3D Touch. The 3D touch screen allows users to press harder on the screen to access extra menus and even a special selfie feature. 'Along with traditional gestures, the iPhone now recognises force,' said Sir Jonathan Ive. Pushing down on the screen allows users to access a new 'peek menu'.
The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus come in four finishes - silver, gold, space grey and rose gold - and come in two sizes that match last year's handsets measurements. The phone also has a new, much faster chip Apple's Phil Schiller says is the 'fastest ever in a phone'. Apple has also boosted the camera to a 12 megapixel iSight camera to boost picture quality, and it can now record video in 4K. There is also a new 5mp front facing camera to boost selfie quality, which uses the screen as a flash. It also revealed a new 'live photo' which mixes a still and video image. Pressing on the picture causes video to show and audio to play.
The much rumoured 'monster iPad', officially called the iPad Pro, was first to be revealed.
'iPad is the clearest expression of our vision of the future of personal computing,' said Cook.
'We asked ourselves how we can take it further - and we have the biggest news in Pad since the iPad.'

Cook also revealed a new TV box. The new remote has a glass-touch surface that lets viewers control menus with their fingers. It additionally features a 'Siri' button that lets viewers search using just their voice. All of the screens have been redesigned to 'focus on the content' and Siri will search across every app - including Netflix, iTunes, HBO, Showtime and Hulu - to find this content.
Apple showed off new apps for the TV, including a special multiplayer version of the hit game Crossy Road, and a version of the Gilt shopping site.
