A fact how? Did anyone who have had their hands on the 6s plus says that it lags? I find it hard to believe especially with that A9 SoC
Got a tip for us?

I had a 6+ for the past 2 months. We switched from AT&T to T-Mobile, and I figured I would give it a shot. I was not thrilled with the phone at all. The battery life isn't nearly as big of a boost as I would have liked, and takes forEVER to charge. As for OIS, I will get over it. I liked the size when using it, but I just couldn't stand the size carrying it around, carrying it around was a chore to me, funny since I am a 6'2" male, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I actually ordered a 6s+ this morning with T-Mobile, because I figured it would be hard to go back to the smaller phone, but T-Mobile screwed up the order and ordered a regular 6s, and I am ok with it. I consider it a message from another power helping me with the choice.
OIS is superior to DIS but I cant imagine its a huge difference. Also the plus has a larger battery, bigger screen, the 6plus was clocked a hair faster than the 6, and you can rotate other apps into landscape mode. But its bigger, harder to hold, and harder to find in your pocket.
As a 6 plus owner it's definitely there. Should be reduced on the 6s plus with the A9
Adding to the discussion, I read a quote from somewhere today, and I think it is defiantly true.
"If you don’t KNOW you want a Plus, you don’t want a Plus."
If you don't completely love it, or are not in complete love with the idea, I think you will be disappointed and wanting to go back. I never really KNEW I wanted it, which is why I got a regular 6 launch day. I envied it, so I tried it, but I am going back.

I remember debating this issue last year. 6+ or 6....I went with 6+...at first I loved it but then the portability became a big issue for me. I was passed my 14 days. I sold it for $100 less what I owed on next. It was in mint conditions. So I lost $100...I immediately went and got me a 6. Guess what? Never looked back nor considered a 6+. This morning at 3:10 am my decision was easy...6s 64gb gold. 6+ for me is an after thought.
I thought about that, then I thought about my aging eyes.
The 6s Plus won hands down
I agree-- I think he meant that the 6+ lags, so he assumed the same will occur with the 6s+, but as you said only a handful of people have even used the phone so far and definitely not long enough to determine something like lagging.
I will chime in and say that I had a 6 for about 4 months before I switched to the 6+, and the video lag on the larger model is definitely real. There were a couple of issues I noticed going from the 6 to the 6+, however none were major enough for me to really regret my decision. I think the issue with the 6+ always revolved around having only 1GB RAM, and with the always-active downscaling to 1080P I believe lag/stutter was always caused by the RAM bottleneck. With 2GB RAM (supposedly) on the new models as well as a faster A9, really doubt we'll see any more of these lagging or similar issues specific to the larger + model.
