It’s been one whole year since the last iPhone launched, but its successors have finally arrived.
Apple has just sent the pre-order page live for the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
You can now pre-order either device in a range of colour and storage options, directly through Apple’s website.
At its September 9 launch event, Apple revealed pre-orders would begin on September 12, at 08:01 London time.
This Saturday sales opening is a first for Apple, a company that usually opts for weekday launches.
They’ll also ship in three storage options: 16GB, 32GB, and 128GB.
The iPhone 6S starts at a price of £539, while the iPhone 6S Plus is naturally more expensive, retailing at £619.
So what’s new about Apple’s latest iPhone line-up?
Perhaps the headline feature is 3D Touch, which lets users apply different levels of finger pressure to their iPhone screens for different gestures.
Apple also introduced a 12-megapixel camera to the series, which is an update from 8-megapixel sensor that appeared on the iPhone 6.
The new camera will also be capable of shooting 4K video, another first for Apple smartphones.

If you don’t want to pre-order the new phones and you’d rather just buy the handset outright on launch day, the official iPhone 6S release date is September 25.
