In fact the 6s is already out of date because Apple is undoubtedly working on the 7 already and maybe even the 7s.

Good for you, you are simply not sensitive to it, but don't deny its existence
Try browsing through safari with more than 3 tabs open and play music in the background. As you scroll through any content heavy webpage you will experience audio stutter everywhere.
Try swiping up control centre and see frame rates drop like crazy
Go into diagnostics page and see 20+ Jetsam (low memory) error logs get generated on a daily basis.
Compared to my iPhone 5, all the system animations on the 6 Plus run slower, tell me how this is acceptable?
Gotta love all the apple apologists on the first page. These are also the people who claim: Yosemite is so pretty! iOS 8 doesn't have bugs! Apple Maps is actually great! Apple Music works perfectly!
You can call this phone the iPad-3 equivalent of the iPhones.

The tab view is a laggy mess on the 6 Plus with 8.4.1. Mostly fixed in 9.x though.
I didnt mean Bust in terms of sales, But along the lines of Updates and Features and Specs
Specs, features and screen size was fine imo.
Only thing that could be better was more ram but I i have no issues with 1gb.
Still don't see it as a bust or disappointment. Neither did millions of others who bought it
I didn't meant to say it was. I meant that I said I expected it to be discontinued earlier than the 6 because it is less powerful and won't hold up for as many years. I was wrong in my prediction
Newsflash: There's a new iPhone every year, each better than the last.
I don't think you got the point
It's not about having new phones being more powerful than the previous ones. It's about apple intentionally cheaping out on the hardware. The fact is, whether you people accept it or not, the 6Plus did not receive adequate GPU nor RAM to drive all the graphic downscaling that it's doing.
Then don't buy it.
It's pretty simple.
Most users out there don't even know what a gpu is or how much ram is in their phone. They just enjoy their device with no issues.
Let me guess, you are one of those who respond to every post criticizing apple products with statements like: "switch to android then" "no one forced you to buy it"
I have the freedom to express dissatisfaction with a product, so don't go tell me what to do. (but I will kindly take your suggestion and shove it up my rear)
I see tab reloads in heavy Safari sessions. But I haven't seen any stuttering or performance issues. I'm only upgrading for the force touch and only so I can test it in my apps.
It should have but remember that Apple didn't want to build 2 versions of the A8 SOC... most regular iPhone 6 consumers barely know what RAM is let alone ever thought that the phone didn't have enough.
I had a 6+ and never had any issues with stuttering/slow response/etc. That said, I've already preordered my 6s+
Not really.
Just a common sense answer. That's what I would do. If I really thought it sucked, or wasn't worth it to me I just would not buy it.
I wouldn't try to convince everyone else to do the same or accept my choice.
By all means express your dissatisfaction freely
I'll just politely disagree with your opinion. But it's your money and your decision obviously so whatever makes you happy.
Oh thanks for loving me! Yes, it stutters a little bit if you purposely observed it, most of the times you don't even notice. And that's the point.
How much did you sell it for? You managed to sell it immediately after hearing that the 6S+ would get 2GB of RAM?
I disagree with the OP I have had a few issues with my 6 Plus, but overall I have had a good experience. That being said I always welcome better performance from the S models and I have come to expect the non-s models to have some of these type flaws. It is the nature of sending out a completely redesigned phone. If you are an every other year person I would suggest getting on the s-cycle.
If apple tested the phones, why did so many users end up with a completely useless phone, or have you forgotten the awful ios update debacle ?Yeah because Apple never used or tested the phone before they released it
Nope sold it in Aug I was very sure apple would put 2 gig in the 6s plus
But I agree with some here people don't want to believe it but this was the iPad 3 of phones.
Hmmm... that's a long time to be without a smartphone. Or did you use something else in the interim?
Wouldn't shoving your phone up there hurt at least a little and even hurt the performance of the phone? I've heard of butt dialing, but this is taking it to the extreme!
