“The only things that’s changed is everything,” is the quote printed large and bold across Apple advertisements promoting the new release of their latest inventions: the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the iPad Pro that features the new iPencil and Smart Keyboard.

While the new iPhones coming from Apple appear the same as the ones before, Apple describe the new phones to be much different and much improved. Apple claims the new iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus contain the strongest glass of any smartphone and is built from 7000 aluminum and is ion-strengthened.

“These are the most advanced iPhones ever,” Apple’s senior vice president, Philip Schiller said. The design and sizes of the phones remain the same, but come with better features and colors ,including the color rose gold. “Customers are going to love them,” Schiller said.

Along with Apple’s new phones, the new iPad Pro has been tweaked and improved from the past editions of iPads. Including software improvements, this product has a 12.9 inch screen and is very lightweight. This new design is sleek, thin and claims to provide all-day battery life.

The iPad Pro also features the new iPencil and Smart Keyboard to be purchased separately.The iPencil can be used to make many tasks easier and is said to be very convenient. The Smart Keyboard makes the act of typing more efficient and more productive as well.

The release date of all of these new Apple products are unknown. However, the iPhone 6s price will be starting at $649. Some prices will vary from the customer’s carrier and the customizations they decide to make to their device. Some accessories include a custom case, AppleCare+ and a lightning dock.

The iPad Pro price is also still unknown according to Apple.com. However the new iPencil flat price is $99. The iPencil also includes a charger and a 15-second charge provides 30 minutes of battery life. The Smart Keyboard flat price is $169. This product also includes the “smart connector” that enables seamless connection between the keyboard and the iPad for sufficient and sophisticated typing.
