Hello. I did not find such a topic, so I am sorry in the case there's been one yet. Which one do you prefer?
 
I have both and use both. I bought the 6S+ two weeks ago but still wanted the 6S. I liked the 5S but now compared to the 6S+, the 5S is too small so I wanted to get something a bit larger.

I also have a 6+.
 
I wouldn't have gotten the 5.5" if the 4.7" version had the same battery life. But, I prefer the 5.5" iPhone because the battery life is much better.
 
I like them both the same. The 6s happens to work a lot better for my lifestyle so that's what I've decided on. The Plus is awesome though. If I had money to burn, if have both.
 
Just got a 6S+ today, I needed the battery life! The 6S+ delivers. Now after holding my iP6S+, my iP5 feels puny!
 
Had a 6 and wanted the Plus after I played with it. Couldn't find anyone to trade so I waited for the 6S Plus and bought it. I love it! Its a perfect size for me and anything else feels too small. You get used to it pretty fast honestly.
 
6s Plus coming from 6 Plus. Great screen, great battery life. Fits my shirt, pants, Jean, coat pockets with no problem. One handed use with either black Apple leather case or red silicone case. Can not see going back to anything smaller ever again.
 
which one do you prefer? :)
I love the 6S+ and the 6S. Today is the first full day that I've gotten to actually use the 6S since it got delivered late Wednesday. I have to say that I am impressed with it's battery life so far. 25hrs 9 minutes standby, 6 hrs 31 minutes use. not bad at all at 53% left on the battery.

I plan on using the 6S at my job and the 6S+ for everything else. the 6S doesn't seem to get in way at my job. I had to work a very short shift Christmas Eve and I brought the 6S with me.

The plus. Because it has a bigger, higher resolution screen and a better battery life. It also has OIS. The 6S is too small and too low resolution for me even if I could get around the poor battery life with a case.
 
Plus definitely. For the first few hours of playing with the 6 + it did seem large. But I quickly adapted and realized all that was possible with the increased real estate. The 6s+ was a given at release.

6S as I already have an iPad Air 2
The 6S+ is just ridiculous for a phone. The additional features don't come close to making it worth the size nor the weight.

That is what I thought. I used to make fun of all large phones. I teased people who had them asking if they were talking to their shoe.

When the 6s Plus became available and some of my students had it and allowed me to play with it, I was intrigued. I am 6 foot tall and I can use it one handed.

Finally, I treated myself to a 6s Plus after thanksgiving. I have to say I am impressed. The large screen make a lot of things better, especially typing. I can tell a difference in screen quality on my 6 750p screen and 6s Plus 1080p screen. The battery life is fantastic. I almost always get 10+ hours of usage time. I am averaging 6-7 hours SOT per 24 hour period.

If Apple can manage to shrink the bezels and keep the 5.5 inch screen that would make the phone smaller and easier to use one handed.
 
6s+, being able to read a few extra lines of text while typing is probably my favorite feature. Landscape mode on the home screen is pretty sweet too.
