I'm still using an iPhone 6 Plus, but (for those using a 6S) was Force Touch and a better camera vast improvements for you to have upgraded? And how's the extra RAM helping you?
Well, let's be honest. People on these boards can appreciate the technology behind 3D touch, the A9 chip, and camera, but the masses really don't care. I can't think of a single person that was like "oooh, I need 3D touch." The masses need something more flashy and tangible. Though, that is just my opinion.
3D touch, the A9, and the camera add to the experience, but they don't substantially improve/change it like a larger screen or a new design. I anticipated lackluster response, but what do I know.
So you dont know any difference with the Ram ? Do you have a 6S or 6S Plus ?
I was thinking about getting the 6S Plus and performance improvement from the ram was the main factor.
but there's seems to be a good amount of people here who are saying it's not that much different.![]()
on the software side ... i am afraid people got used to doing certain things one way and arent gonna learn a new way e. g. "spotlight search" or "3d touch". i keep forgetting either is there cuz i am so used to just tapping on an icon from my springboard
bought the wife a 6s plus to replace her 6 plus... She can't tell the difference... (but I changed from my 6 to her old 6plus and I love it...)
Average folks can't tell the difference between last years and this years model...
It's just too pricey, I can easily afford to buy an iPhone 6S but I won't because over the years buying a new iPhone got more and more expensive.
€750 for a 16 Gb 6S is just too much.
Apple Inc. has cut its component orders for the iPhone 5 because of weaker-than-expected demand, people familiar with the situation said Monday, indicating sales of the latest smartphone haven't been as strong as anticipated.
Apple's orders for iPhone 5 screens for the first quarter, for example, have dropped to roughly half of what the company had planned to order, the people said

They lost my business for cancelling Black Friday discounts this year. I don't need much. $50 on a $1000 phone is a drop in a bucket. It's mostly psychological - tradition. My 5S is still perfectly fine and will hold for another year I hope. May be on a grand scale it's doesn't matter but at least few of my friend decided not to upgrade on BF. Tradition goes both ways Apple![]()

I think phone sales are going to slow a bit due to carriers switching from subsidized two-year contracts to installment plans. Upgrading is no longer the impulse purchase of less then $200. It's more like a computer/laptop purchase.
I had one relative who was amazed his iPad was cheaper than his iPhone, and I had to tell him the cellular part of the iPhone is pretty expensive. I wonder if these trends are the reason Apple may be pursuing the rumored cheaper 6C option mid-cycle?
The price has increased by almost 30% due to the rise of USD and fall of NZD. When I bought the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB it was close to $1349NZD, this year when I bought the iPhone 6S Plus 128GB it was $1799.
I'm sure this applies to many other countries.
That's why Apple doesn't over build and conveniently let some of the sales move to the next quarter - imagine if they have fulfill every single order in September then what would they sale in march-JuneIt's funny, a new iPhone comes out and it's a pain in the butt to get one for the first couple of months because supply doesn't meet demand. 2 months after that and there's piled up inventory. If they could send all these extra units back in time to September/October it would (retroactively) make a lot of people very happy.
Force Touch is worthless IMO. I've never used it. Maybe when apps (games) take advantage of it then I'll like it. Camera I don't use enough to notice a difference. Extra RAM is good for safari tabs. Faster CPU is only noticeable when opening games. Quicker TouchID is best feature IMO.I'm still using an iPhone 6 Plus, but (for those using a 6S) was Force Touch and a better camera vast improvements for you to have upgraded?

Not at all. The battery in this is smaller, um, basically this was just to have the latest.
Having the latest is a novelty you know.
I love these headlines that make rumors sound like fact. Apple didn't say they were cutting production, supply chain rumors are suggesting it.
Let's not forget these rumors come out all the time. Here's a story from Jan 14, 2013:
Apple Cuts Orders for iPhone Parts
Design as horrid as last year, marginal performance improvements, gimmicky 3D touch feature and even worse battery. Least exciting update to date.
Jony Ive in particular needs to step it up.
What botched S cycle are you referring to? The 6s takes the award for being the most desireable release ever; as evidenced by the sales records shattered.Completely agree, also touch ID was so fast it made reading notifications impossible. Luckily 3D touch can be turned off making it again possible to tap links in Safari, unfortunately it wasn't possible to slow down touch ID. This botched S cycle will definitely make me think twice about upgrading again. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple switch to a major phone every 2 years instead.
