I imagine with all the different stuff going on in the phone, the GPS signal
is pretty weak, and it has to try harder than dedicated GPS devices do. One
would think that using the approved external bluetooth receivers that have
their own battery might help some, but I think Apple still combines that
with the phone's internal sense of the location.

No, the battery drain is primarily from the GPS signal being so weak. The
power drain from the mobile connection is quite minor in comparison. I have
almost equivalent battery drain whether I use unboard maps from TomTom, or
internet based maps from AppleMaps or GoogleMaps.

I've always wondered if the GPS drain was due to getting the coordinates
all the time or the constant downloading of data over the cellular
internet connection. I guess if there is a GPS app with all the maps
included (would be quite large) that would be a good test. I think Navigon
was one that had the maps baked into the app.

I agree. It seems that next to video streaming, location services are the
biggest culprit of battery drain. Since we don't know for sure, it's hard
to say if Seeing Eye is more of a drain than it could be if maps were in
local storage as opposed to maintaining a constant connection to their
servers. I imagine some of that battery drain can be decreased through
things they can do in software, but I thought I heard that the GPS in
phones is a more power hungry way of doing it than the little GPS
receivers people used with their note takers. They might be already at a
point where we need some kind of breakthrough in batteries to increase
the time we get by increasing the power without changing the size.

Only major thing would be battery life. Keep all those features rolling
for a week on a charge would be nice. Probably some new even faster
networks will be coming down the pipe but, yes, they seem to have
completed addressing all the major limitations.

I really don’t see what they will add after this. The phone has every
thing now. A really solid radio finally that works on all the networks
fully, a nice high end camera, fast 64 bit processor, NFC, where do they
go from here?

Well, that's certainly true. I just wondered what the take-aways were
from thursday's event.

Hi,
We really won’t know anything until people actually get their hands
on it on the 25th. There are hands-on articles, but those don’t give
any indication of how voiceover will work with 3D Touch, naturally.

Hi all,
Just wondering what people have heard about the iPhone 6S. Any
worthwhile developments?
