The latest kid in the iPhone family trumps the iPhone 6 in terms of everything except for screen size. It has the latest 12 MP iSight camera found on iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. As a result, it also supports the Live Photos feature and 4K video recording. But sadly, it skips the 3D touch exclusive to them. The latest iPhone also supports Apple Pay via a built-in NFC chip. The new iPhone will be available in rose gold too.
