Apple Announces New Lineup of iPhones and iPads

Today Apple held their press conference to announce their updated line up of iPhones, iPads, and iWatch accessories. Over all the iPhone 6s and iPad mini 4 are just another incremental in processor speed and camera capabilities while the Apple TV is getting a performance boost and OS upgrade. The regular size iPad didn't get any bump in favor of a new model called the iPad Pro which is really just the regular iPad with a larger screen and ability to work with an Apple only stylus pen along with adding the iWatch's Force Touch (now called 3D Touch) to all the new iDevices. 3D Touch allows for the apps and the screen to provide options based on a tap vs press vs deep press. Also they will all come out with iOS9 which will be released to older devices on September 16th. On to the overview.
